About LCD Soundsystem
LCD Soundsystem
LCD Soundsystem emerged from Brooklyn in 2002 at a time when indie rock and dance music were increasingly crossing paths. Led by DFA Records co-founder James Murphy, the band became known for combining dance-punk energy, electronic grooves, and sharp observational songwriting.1
With a sound that blends disco influences, post-punk rhythms, and dry humor, LCD Soundsystem evolved from an underground favorite into a globally recognized live act. The band has performed around the world and established a celebrated residency at Brooklyn Steel.1

LCD Soundsystem’s Background
Shortly after forming in 2002, James Murphy and fellow members Pat Mahoney, Nancy Whang, Tyler Pope, Gavin Russom, and Al Doyle released the single Losing My Edge, a tongue-in-cheek commentary on music culture that quickly brought attention to the band.2
Their self-titled debut album, LCD Soundsystem (2005), and follow-up album, Sound of Silver (2007), both received Grammy nominations and helped establish the group as one of the defining acts of the indie-dance movement.1
After disbanding in 2011 following a widely publicized farewell show, LCD Soundsystem surprised fans by releasing Christmas Will Break Your Heart in 2015 before announcing a reunion and returning to touring worldwide.1
