Cali punks Joyce Manor are currently in the midst of a four-night NYC-area run, which kicked off on Wednesday (1/14) in Asbury Park and hit Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg last night (1/15) for a free Converse Rubber Tracks show. The place was packed for them at MHOW, and the fists-raised crowd was screaming every word for the whole 16-song set (which was over in about 30-35 minutes). Like most of their recent shows, they split the set mostly between their 2011 debut album and last year’s Never Hungover Again, but also gave us “Violent Inside” from their second album, a new song, a cover of Weezer’s “You Gave Your Love To Me Softly” (they joked that their next NYC show would be a full set of Weezer covers), and ended with live staple “Five Beer Plan” from their 2010 EP.

The drummer of Hop Along (who played NYC two days earlier and just announced a tour with The War on Drugs) could be spotted singing along from the side of the stage, and at one point Joyce Manor singer Barry Johnson asked the crowd, “Are you guys excited for the new Hop Along record?” which got a lot of cheers. (You may also remember that the cover art for Never Hungover Again features a photo of Hop Along singer Frances Quinlan.) Pictures of the whole show, including openers The Weaks (who I missed), are in this post.

Joyce Manor’s run continues tonight (1/16) in Kingston with Laura Stevenson and Quarterbacks, and wraps up Saturday (1/17) in Amityville with Mitski and Oso Oso. Both are sold out. In April, they’ll be at Coachella.
