Luna played 'Lunapark,' 'Bewitched' & 'Penthouse' in NYC (pics, setlists, videos)
Luna have been on tour, playing full-album sets of their first three records. The tour wrapped up with three NYC shows where they played their debut, Lunapark, at Elsewhere on Friday (10/18), 1994’s Bewitched on Saturday (10/19) and 1995’s Penthouse on Sunday (10/20), both at Bowery Ballroom. Luna had a nice treat in store for these NYC shows, as original bassist (and former Chills member) Justin Harwood joined the band for part of the set. (Britta Philips sang backup when Justin was on bass.) Original drummer and Feelies member Stanley Demeski joined Luna at Saturday’s Bewitched show making for a full reunion of the original lineup of the band.
We caught Sunday’s Penthouse show and the second set was heavy on covers, including Serge Gainsbourg’s “Bonnie & Clyde,” The Monochrome Set’s “Inside Your Heart” and Donovan’s “Season of the Witch.” Check out photos from Sunday night in the gallery above, and there are setlists and videos from all three nights below.
