About This Event
Elsewhere hosts One Chance Paradise, a mixed-genre bill featuring Cranes, elibanss, ksuuvi, Backend, glost, ss3bby and more. The bill pairs the British rock band Cranes—known for Alison Shaw’s childlike vocals—with New York–based performers Backend and ksuuvi, whose Webster Hall sets navigate rock/pop and club-adjacent currents and favor structural clarity and controlled pacing over spectacle.
About One Chance Paradise
One Chance Paradise lands at Elsewhere with a bill that treats rock and pop as a shared language rather than a boundary. British band Cranes brings its long-running, post‑punk lineage and Alison Shaw’s close‑miked, high-register vocal style into conversation with New York artists like Backend and ksuuvi, alongside elibanss and glost. The night reads as a cross‑generation snapshot of how guitar music keeps mutating in the city’s club circuit. The most interesting tension is between Cranes’ haunted minimalism and the local acts’ genre-hybrid, internet-shaped dynamics.
