Leftöver Crack returns to Tompkins Square Park

Tompkins Square Park welcomed Leftöver Crack back on Saturday afternoon for a free, all-ages show presented by Show Brain.

The performance marked the band's return to Tompkins Square Park, where it first played in August 1999 during a Riot Reunion show. In the years that followed, the park also hosted performances by related projects, including Choking Victim reunions and Star Fucking Hipsters. 

Leftöver Crack has been on tour since early May, starting on the West Coast before making its way east. Ahead of Saturday's performance, the band reflected on its longstanding connection to Tompkins Square Park, writing on Instagram: "We all live for music & the power of anarcho-punk activism & to play for free in the park that made us who we are is an honor that we shall never take for granted."

Here are a few scenes from the afternoon, starting with vocalists Scott "Stza" Sturgeon and Tibbie X ... before an enthusiastic crowd...
