The Loser’s Lounge will be performing a tribute to David Bowie at Joe’s Pub on Dec 5-7 2024. The Loser’s Lounge is a NYC band led by keyboardist and arranger Joe McGinty. JG Thirlwell will appear at the tribute on Friday Dec 6, in both the early and late shows, beginning at 7PM and 9.30PM respectively.
Thirlwell will perform the classic song “We Are The Dead”, which appeared on Bowie’s Diamond Dogs album. Tickets are available here
The newly formed duo of JG Thirlwell and Sarah Lipstate which debuted at The Stone in NYC in April 2014, will return to NYC for a pair of shows in October. They will play at Joe’s Pub in Manhattan October 2 , and at Saint Vitus in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on October 4. The latter show is a benefit for the David Lynch Foundation , which provides transcendental meditation training to those in need. Soft Pink Truth , the side project of Drew Daniel of Matmos, and JGT fave Dominique Leone are also on the Saint Vitus bill.
In this project, Thirlwell plays synthesizers and electronics and Lipstate (aka Noveller) plays guitar through a multitude of effects. Tickets for the Joe’s Pub show are available now. Photo by Robert Kenney.

The already sold-out evening will be hosted by John Schaefer from WNYC. The evening is produced by Rob Christiansen, who transcribed the album and will also perform.
