On March 15, BADBADNOTGOOD thrilled audience members at Brooklyn Steel with alternatively fiery and dreamy performances of songs from Talk Memory, the band's 2021 album. Known for a distinct blend of hip-hop and jazz, the Canadian instrumental band's recent offering added a swirl to those influences, incorporating splashes of psychedelia to its tight, sophisticated sound.

To express that new energy in a live setting, the sold-out crowd in Brooklyn was awash in trippy visuals provided by projectionist Sylvain Chaussée, who filmed, edited and switched his reels in real time during the band's performance.

"What's always made music important, especially to us, is just the feeling and the energy and all the intersections we get to live in," drummer Alex Sowinski says. It's a joy to behold.
