One Chance Paradise: cranes, elibanss, ksuuvi, Backend, glost, ss3bby +more
About This Event
Elsewhere hosts One Chance Paradise, a mixed-genre bill featuring British rock band Cranes—known for Alison Shaw’s childlike vocals—alongside New York performers elibanss, ksuuvi, Backend, glost and ss3bby. The lineup pairs Cranes’ signature vocal presence with local artists who move between rock/pop and club/hip‑hop currents: Backend’s song-forward sets, elibanss’s guitar-to-rap cadences, ksuuvi’s tempo control, and ss3bby and glost’s hook-driven, rhythm-focused work.
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.
