DARK STREETS Perform The Pogues' "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" followed by full sets of more Pogues songs in honor of Saint Patrick's Day. FREE Admission after the album.
About This Event
Dark Streets, a downtown New York group known for loose, free-form live work and past bills with The Pogues, will perform a complete run of If I Should Fall From Grace With God at Lucinda's. They follow the album with additional Pogues material for Saint Patrick’s Day, favoring forward momentum and plainspoken storytelling over studio polish and treating the songs as communal repertoire.
About If I Should Fall from Grace with God
Released in early 1988, *If I Should Fall from Grace with God* is the Pogues’ third album, where Irish traditional forms collide with punk urgency and immigrant street detail. In New York, the record’s legacy is bound to the city’s Irish diaspora and to the era that produced “Fairytale of New York,” a local seasonal standard. At Lucinda’s, downtown group Dark Streets performs the album in full, then continues with additional Pogues songs for Saint Patrick’s Day. The material still reads as reportage set to reels.
About the Artists
Dark Streets
Dark Streets is a New York City–based group known around downtown rooms like Lucinda’s, where they bring a loose, free-form approach to live performance. They have shared bills with The Pogues, and their current set leans into that lineage, including a full-album run of *If I Should Fall From Grace With God* alongside additional Pogues material for Saint Patrick’s Day.
The Pogues
The Pogues are a group associated with folk-punk, known for writing songs that braid traditional Irish forms with the push and scrape of rock. In New York City they surface most directly through live tributes and songbook performances at spaces like Lucinda’s, where their repertoire is treated as communal material rather than museum piece.
