Samia played Brooklyn Steel (pics, video, setlist)

Samia released her fantastic third album Bloodless in April, and her tour supporting it hit NYC on Friday night for a show at Brooklyn Steel. “One time I saw Mitski here,” she told the crowd, gesturing towards the back of the packed room, “and I was back there.” She had the crowd in the palm of her hand all night with her charismatic stage presence, injecting moments of dramatic flair and dance moves into the evening. Samia played all of Bloodless on Friday, and the crescendoing “North Poles” was as much of a highlight live as it is on record. The new material was all warmly received, but some of the biggest responses of the night were to older favorites like “Big Wheel,” “Kill Her Freak Out,” and the Baby’s All Right-namedropping “Honey,” which ended the set. See Friday night’s setlist below, along with pictures from Samia’s set (I unfortunately missed openers Raffaella and Hank Heaven) below. Samia has more tour dates lined up through the fall, and you can see all dates below.
