About This Event
Emerging NYC rock/pop acts The Narcotix, The Cradle and Alex Koi, joined on the bill by cellist-composer Kirin McElwain, play the Knitting Factory. The bill reflects a small-room scene: Koi and The Cradle favor direct songcraft and tight ensemble interplay, while McElwain brings classical and sub‑bass electronic textures that shift the sets’ rhythmic, hook-focused core.
