[CANCELLED: July 13, 2020] Parquet Courts / Public Practice [rescheduled from April 4]
Parquet Courts was one of the first shows that was postponed because of the coronavirus. They postponed their show by two months. Needless to say that was very optimistic and they have now cancelled everything.
I’ve seen Parquet Courts twice and enjoyed both shows more than I thought I would. I wasn’t sure if I’d need to see them again, but when I saw that they were playing White Eagle Hall in Jersey City–a great venue that is pretty close to me, I immediately grabbed tickets. It then sold out. And then I found out that our Scout Troop had an even planned that night so I couldn’t go anyway.
This rescheduled date of July 8 wasn’t going to work for me because of summer camp, so I was thinking of going to the show at the Stone Pony on the 8th instead (even though White Eagle is 10X better than The Stone Pony).
Our camp was cancelled before this show, but it was inevitable that this would be cancelled as well. I’m sure they will be back.
Public Practice has been described as post-punk with an overtly danceable element. Sounds like a perfect pairing for Parquet Courts.
