The Facebook Post:
it’s that time of year. we’re playing in new york again, but it’s a little different this time. It’s the tri boro tour.

last year we played 20 shows at brooklyn steel, which, while fun, nearly killed us all (as soon as we were done i immediately got sick for 2 weeks). we also kind of couldn’t remember the first, say, 14 shows because we were just grinding and holding on for dear life with only one day off in a row ever, trying not to blow out voices, knees, backs, what have you. none of us even realized we’d been in this tense fog until, when we got to the last few nights, everyone was suddenly able to actually let go, knowing we could kind of recover once we were done. on those last few shows, we opened up, added songs to the set, screamed our stupid heads off, and as a result, each show felt quite distinct from one another. once we realized how much more present we were able to be with a little space, it felt like, going forward, we should do whatever it took to feel that way every night—not just as we closed in on the finish line. so, this time, it’s 12 shows, in three chunks with some healing time between each group of four. this doesn’t radically change how many overall available tickets by very much, because the other thing we’re doing is moving around a bit, and the other 2 venues, terminal 5 and the knockdown center, are just enough bigger than brooklyn steel to make it make sense. i mean, nothing is big, just a bit bigger.

The Press Release:
Today, critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter and global pop icon P!NK releases her highly anticipated ninth studio album, TRUSTFALL, out now via RCA Records.

Featuring the hit singles “Never Gonna Not Dance Again” and “TRUSTFALL,” as well as her latest release, “When I Get There,” TRUSTFALL marks some of P!NK’s most vulnerable and exhilarating work yet. Featuring collaborations with Chris Stapleton, The Lumineers, and First Aid Kit, as well as tapping notable songwriters and producers Max Martin, Shellback, Greg Kurstin, FRED, Billy Mann, and more, TRUSTFALL is an exploration of the highs and lows of uncertainty, freedom, and letting go.

To celebrate the album, P!NK will make special appearances next week on NBC’s TODAY and CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on February 21, followed by a show takeover special on The Drew Barrymore Show airing February 27.

“This might be the album I’m most proud of,” says P!NK. “Get in your coziest pair of sweats, grab yourself an hour of self-care, and start on track one. Two ingredients needed: tissues and dance shoes.”

In tandem with its release, P!NK has also announced The TRUSTFALL Tour. Produced by Live Nation, the 14-city tour kicks off on October 12 making stops at arenas across North America, including a date at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: Though I surely respect the musical impact Pink has achieved over the years, I cannot say that I’ve ever really followed her career and that’s more about my being overwhelmed with the day to day Rock and Metal scene I work for the PiercingMetal side of the fence. That doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t gladly check out one of the regional shows since both of these touring events will be making a stop in my own Metropolis over the summer and in the fall. That’s all I’ve got to say about this one but wrapping it up I wonder what you out there in the readership think about it. Feel free to chime in down below in the comments if you have something topical to add to the mix. See you next time, please keep safe out there.

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.
