About this show

Death From Above 1979 plays Thalia Hall, an 800-capacity club in Pilsen, on Wednesday, March 17. The show starts at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $49 to $66.63 plus fees. This one could sell out: big draw for a room this size (1.1M listeners, 800 capacity). Death From Above 1979 also has 7 other dates on Go See Shows, in San Diego, Santa Ana, San Francisco and Brooklyn.

Born from the womb of Y2K techno paranoia, dance-punk mega duo DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979 have been a cathartic through-line since 2001. Every now and then they come to fly their jumbo jet sound into the skyscrapers that the zeitgeist has erected. You're a Woman, I'm a Machine (2004), The Physical World (2014), Outrage! Is Now (2017) and Is 4 Lovers (2021), now in 2026 they once again blast off celebrating their 25th anniversary with a fifth LP, Private Lives, slated for a fall release. They've survived CDs, MP3s, pirating, streaming and AI slop undeterred and have delivered nothing but musky power-cock riffs, psycho tenor wails and frenetic juvenile delinquent rhythms.

Death from Above 1979 is the Toronto-based duo of Jesse F. Keeler (bass, synths) and Sebastien Grainger (vocals, drums), which formed in 2001. Refusing to employ a lead guitarist, they played loud synth infused dance punk on the drum and bass combination alone.
