As the humidity broke on Wednesday around 7 p.m., umbrellas hid the growing line outside of Other Music, the record shop on East Fourth Street. The rainfall cooled the crowd, but it was no match for the utter coldness these show-goers were waiting for: a live performance from the much-hyped Danish punk band Iceage. Watch a clip of their set — dark, piercing, and endearingly sloppy — above.
It was Iceage’s third New York set, following their sold out, stateside debut on Friday at Williamsburg’s Northside Festival. The teenage quartet — fronted by Elias Bender Ronnenfelt, 19 — plays the DIY venue 285 Kent in Williamsburg on Saturday with other bands, including Jeff the Brotherhood. Iceage’s debut LP, “New Brigade,” is out now.
