About This Event
The Knitting Factory hosts Nirosta Steel, Pleasure Systems and a DJ set from Chanel Beads. Steven Hall, who records as Nirosta Steel, was part of New York’s 1980s downtown arts scene and drew wider attention with the 2026 compilation My Skyscraper. Pleasure Systems brings band-forward rock/pop and a growing streaming presence after prior Knitting Factory bills, while Chanel Beads' DJ set channels a lo-fi rock/pop sensibility that prioritizes texture, mood and pacing.
