What A Time To Be Alive

1 upcoming performance in New York

“What A Time To Be Alive” is a title with a double life in contemporary music culture, known widely as the name of a 2015 Drake–Future collaboration that marked a streaming-era moment in hip-hop’s mainstream economy. This NYC event at 92NY repurposes the phrase as a live, local frame for performance and listening. With Brooklyn’s The Lone Bellow featured, the night places an indie-rock narrative voice inside a Manhattan institution better associated with talks and recital-hall formality. The contrast is the point: New York’s venues often rewrite an artwork’s context as much as its sound.
