New York City venue (le) poisson rouge has launched its very own streaming platform. LPR.tv is a subscription-based service that will livestream concerts from the venue, which will be performed without an audience. The streams will be presented in HD with full production and soundboard audio. The inaugural lineup of concerts includes sets from Laraaji, Cults, Chk Chk Chk, Son Little, and more. Find the current schedule below.
A subscription to LPR.tv costs $19.99 per month, and includes access to all of the venue’s livestreamed concerts, on-demand access to their archive of past streams, interviews, lessons, and more. The platform will host over five performances per month.
Of the new project, composer and LPR co-founder David Handler said in a press release:
LPR.tv was born out of our need to safely get back to doing what we do best, putting on bold, carefully curated and unique live performances for a discerning audience. It’s about getting artists out of their living rooms and back on stage where they belong. It’s about putting our production team back to work making everything look and sound extraordinary. It’s about supporting an ecosystem of the indie music industry that has been hit hard by this pandemic.
Most importantly though, it’s about giving the fans that profoundly important experience of witnessing live art, but in the comfort of their homes, until it’s safe to bring audiences back to the venue again. That we turn to music to be inspired with one another and by one another is one of the better parts of what makes us human. It is an innate ritual that we are privileged to be a part of as presenters. I can’t think of anything more essential at a time like this.
