Information
Doors: 8PM / Show: 9PM / 21+A Decade of Double Vanity celebrates ten years of the album that cemented BRONCHO as one of the most singular voices in modern American rock. Released in 2016, Double Vanity sharpened the bands blown-out pop instincts into something both feral and melodic, equal parts garage grit, warped romance, and neon-lit melancholy. Critics praised the record for its raw immediacy and emotional punch, and fans quickly turned it into a cult classic that still defines the BRONCHO live experience today.The impact of Double Vanity extended well beyond BRONCHOs own fanbase. In 2017, the band were personally invited by Queens of the Stone Age to open the European leg of their Villains arena tour, introducing BRONCHOs blown-out pop hooks and off-kilter swagger to massive crowds night after night. The invitation underscored the reach and resonance of Double Vanity, whose raw immediacy, rhythmic looseness, and unpolished charm aligned naturally with a lineage of artists admired by figures like Josh Homme, and helped solidify BRONCHOs reputation as a band equally at home in sweaty clubs and on arena stages.Songs like All Time, Fantasy Boys, I Know You, Two Step, and the albums original radio single Seor Borealis have since become permanent fixtures in the bands setlists, sweaty, sing-along anthems that blur the line between punk abandon and pop devotion.On this tour, Double Vanity will be performed in full each night, front to back, the way it was meant to be heard: loud, loose, and alive. Each show will also feature hits, fan favorites, deep cuts, and surprises spanning all five BRONCHO albums, including selections from last years critically acclaimed Natural Pleasure, a record that showcased a more streamlined, confident side of the band, sleek, nocturnal rock songs driven by pulse, melody, and an effortless cool.A few nights on the tour are especially meaningful. New York City and Chicago will each host very special two-night stands in some of the most intimate, beloved rooms in the country. At Bowery Ballroom in NYC (4/24 & 4/25) and Empty Bottle in Chicago (4/28 & 4/29), BRONCHO will perform Double Vanity in full one night, followed by their landmark album Just Enough Hip To Be Woman in full the next. These smaller-capacity venues bring fans closer than ever to the band, turning these shows into rare, up-close celebrations rather than standard anniversary performances.Just Enough Hip To Be Woman introduced BRONCHOs bona fide indie hit Class Historian, a slacker-pop classic whose swagger, hooks, and restless spirit helped propel the band onto a larger stage and into the modern indie canon. Together, these four nights offer a rare chance to experience two defining albums, two eras of BRONCHO, played loud, loose, and in rooms where every note hits harder.A Decade of Double Vanity isnt a look back, its a reminder of why these songs still matter, and why BRONCHO remains one of the most electrifying live bands on the road.
