Plight: Performing Group in New York

About Plight

Plight is an emerging shoegaze group on the New York City circuit, appearing on bills at Alphaville. The name nods to the 1988 David Sylvian and Holger Czukay collaboration, a reference point that hints at an interest in extended texture and atmosphere. In live settings, Plight has shared stages with Bummer Camp, Joudy, and Jesus Christ II, moving through the same small-room ecosystem of downtown performance. Their sets favor density and restraint over spectacle.
