Pinc Louds fill LPR with joyful abandon and Tompkins Square Park tributes

Pinc Louds marked the release of their new album with a full-house party at Le Poisson Rouge on Bleecker Street this past Saturday night.
Staged in the round, the night unfolded with balloons, puppets, dancing, and the mix of joyful abandon and tender chaos that has become a Pinc Louds hallmark.
Amid the exuberance, the performance also leaned into more somber notes — touching on themes of mental illness, medication, sorrow, and creating space for those who don't always feel seen to be celebrated. 

Tompkins Square Park — where lead singer Federico and the band have been a regular presence — was a thread throughout the show. There were tributes to departed souls such as Travis "Grim" Durkin and Jerry Foust, and others lost in the Park over the years.
The crowd, and even the F Train, made it a night to remember.
