Loathe: A Stranger to You
About This Event
The bill at Brooklyn Paramount pairs Loathe with supporting sets from Fleshwater and Prostitute. Fleshwater, a Boston project born from the heavier Vein.fm scene, folds shoegaze textures into pop song structures and favors dense, mood-driven performances; Prague-born Prostitute frames abrasive guitar and controlled volume around tight song forms at the edge of rock/pop and noise rock.
About A Stranger to You
At Brooklyn Paramount, the “A Stranger to You” bill brings together Loathe, Fleshwater, and Prague-born indie rock project Prostitute, fronted by vocalist Adrian T. Bell. Active since the mid-2000s, Prostitute works in the overlap of rock/pop structure and noise-rock abrasion, a lineage New York audiences have long tracked in rooms like the Knitting Factory. The setlist tends to emphasize shifts in texture and volume over clean genre boundaries. One clear takeaway is how the lineup treats heaviness as arrangement, not just intensity.
About the Artists
Fleshwater
Fleshwater is a Boston-based rock project formed in 2017, rooted in the heavier scene around Vein.fm and later expanding into a full band with Marisa Shirar and additional guitar and drum personnel. Their songs pull from shoegaze texture and pop structure, with distortion used as atmosphere as much as force.
Prostitute
Prostitute is a Prague-born indie rock project formed in 2004 and built around vocalist Adrian T. Bell. Working at the edge of rock/pop and noise rock, the group first set its aesthetic on record with the 2006 album *Get Me Out of Here*.
