LCD Soundsystem Announces “20” Date Brooklyn Steel Residency For 2022

Since I’m trying to list more of a variety on the events calendar of “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” I felt that discussing the recently announced residency for 2022 at the Brooklyn Steel venue would be a good idea. I did this last year but had to admit that its not the kind of music that I follow at all. I lean mostly to the heavy side of the fence and don’t have the proper exposure from friends who might be following them as far as I can tell. I dissected the residency piece from an announcement made by the bands founder James Murphy and you can read that down below the poster.
