Geese's High-Energy Performance Brings 'Getting Killed' to Life from Basement Set
In a blistering 35-minute set, Brooklyn indie-rockers Geese brought their intense energy to life with an extensive performance captured for Rolling Stone's "From the Basement" series. The band tore through seven tracks, showcasing their raw talent and unbridled passion.
The set kicked off with a scorching rendition of "Trinidad," followed by hits like "Husbands" and "Islands of Men." While some tracks, such as "Cobra," were noticeably absent from the setlist, Geese's commitment to delivering a killer performance was evident. The band's chemistry was palpable, with each member bringing their A-game to every note.
Guitarist Emily Green delivered searing riffs, while bassist Dominic DiGesu provided a driving rhythm that kept the energy levels sky-high. Percussionist Max Bassin anchored the sound with precision and power, allowing Cameron Winter's vocals to soar through the mix.
The setlist included fan favorites "Half Real," "100 Horses," and "Au Pays du Cocaine," showcasing Geese's versatility and depth as a band. Closing out the performance with a blistering rendition of "Bow Down" left little doubt that Geese is a force to be reckoned with in the indie-rock scene.
The "From the Basement" series has already established itself as a go-to platform for capturing raw, uncompromising performances from some of music's most exciting acts. With Geese joining the ranks of esteemed alumni like the White Stripes, Radiohead, and PJ Harvey, it's clear that this band is ready to take center stage.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, producer Nigel Godrich emphasized his goal in creating the series: "great performances with the most direct and beautiful coverage possible, both sonically and visually." Geese's performance embodies these ideals, offering a thrilling glimpse into the band's creative process.
"I've been put in this jam-band space...They've been branded in all of these different ways," said Kenneth Blume, aka Kenny Beats, producer for Geese's "Getting Killed" album. The band wanted to break free from these labels and showcase their unique sound.
The road to success is always a winding one, but with performances like this, it's clear that Geese is on the right track. Catch them live as they embark on a sold-out tour of Brooklyn Paramount and Los Angeles, before heading back to New Zealand and Australia in the new year.

just watched geese's performance from rolling stone's "from the basement" series 
emily green's guitar riffs were 
dominoes digesu was 
max bassin brought the 
totally on point! geese's energy is 
electrifying, can't wait to see them live 
their music is like a wild rollercoaster ride 
and i'm HOOKED!!! their energy is infectious - it's like they're going to blow up at any moment 
. i love how they mixed old and new tracks, it was like a masterclass in building tension and release. max bassin's drums were insane 
. i'm so glad the "from the basement" series is giving these artists a platform to shine - geese deserves all the attention they're getting right now 
Still, their chemistry on stage is undeniable - Emily's riffs are insane 
. it's all just indie-rock, you know? i've seen plenty of similar bands in smaller clubs and they didn't exactly blow me away 
. and can we talk about how overhyped the "from the basement" series is? it's just a way to make music sound cool on the internet 
. i'm all for raw performances, but this feels like more of a marketing gimmick 
. From Emily Green's scorching guitar riffs to Dominic DiGesu's driving basslines, every aspect of the performance comes together seamlessly 
.
. They need to be strategic about which angles and shots showcase their band chemistry to maximum effect 
. And what's up with all these producers talking about labels? It feels like an excuse for bands to play it safe rather than pushing the boundaries of innovation 
And I love how they didn't play all their hits, it's like they wanted to show us something new 
The guitar riffs were insane, Emily Green is a total rockstar 
The way they played all these tracks, including some of my fave songs like "Husbands" and "100 Horses," was pure magic 
. Definitely getting me hyped for their tour dates in NYC and LA! 
their guitarist emily green is a total rockstar 
. and can we talk about that guitar riffs from emily green?
