About This Event
Midwest emo band American Football, known for interlocking guitars, restrained rhythm and plainspoken vocals, brings its catalog to the Brooklyn Paramount, where the material reads differently at full volume in a large room. Los Angeles–based Ian Sweet, the stage name of Jilian Medford, appears on the bill; her direct songwriting, close‑miked vocals and noise‑worn guitars keep the focus on lyric and arrangement.
