Beer and water erupted from the drinks of head-banging audience members. A circling mosh pit consumed most of the floor. Directly in the middle of the spinning mass a long haired, heavily bearded man raised two coiled fists. He threw his shirt off and shoved his entire body weight into a wall of bodies around him as Death From Above’s signature logo — an outline of the two musicians faces with elephant trunks replacing their noses– pulsated with multi-colored lights in the background. As crowd surfers were ripped from the audience and escorted away, fans punched the air in defiance filled with rebellious energy from DFA’s deafening mix of electro-punk. [Hey Reverb]

Death From Above 1979 returned this year with The Physical World, the long-awaited followup to their 2004 debut that sounds like no time has passed since. They brought their tour with heavy psych rippers Biblical to NYC for a show at Terminal 5 on Friday (11/28) which included all of the new album and about half of their debut.

More pictures from the show, the setlist, and a video of DFA1979 playing crowd favorite “Romantic Rights” below…
