Monday, Nov. 7. The popular indie pop band The Drums performed to a sold-out audience at Bowery Ballroom. With a sound reminiscent of The Smiths, the group swayed the crowded venue with tracks from their latest record, Portamento, including “Money” and “Days,” to name a few.

Frontman Jonathan Pierce easily provoked his fans, dancing across the stage in a style similar to Morrissey but perhaps more awkward, captivating all the same. The Drums put on a fantastic show, having come far since their early days—with the ticket sales to prove it.

Beginning with her debut single, “As Tears Go By” in 1964 (also the first song ever written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards), Marianne has created an enduring legacy with her distinct, emotive, and truly haunting voice. She has also established herself as a powerful songwriter with a gift for crafting visceral melodies and deeply resonant lyrics. Her timeless sound has allowed her to collaborate with such modern and varied legends as David Bowie, Metallica, Beck, Morrissey, Billy Corgan and Blur.
