New Politics is a rock band from Copenhagen, Denmark and is made up of members David Boyd, Soren Hansen and Louis Vecchio. The three members moved to New York in 2009 after signing with RCA Records.
New Politics performed at The Fillmore Sunday, marking the last stop of the two and a half month tour with The Dirty Heads.
The Fillmore is a beautiful venue with an impeccable sound system. The ground floor is an expansive square providing ample space for the audience to move around.
New Politics could take over the world with the energy they embody in a live performance setting. I expected a very lively show based on having seen their music videos, but their stage presence blew those short films out of the water. In the last few months, Boyd has become well-known for the combination of dance moves he incorporates into the live performance. The interaction between Boyd and Hansen was fluid and entertaining. During one song, Soren held up his guitar to imitate a machine gun and put it to David’s head. It was quite like a short theatrical play. The performance was amazing, beginning to end.
Many fans who came to the show specifically to see The Dirty Heads walked away with a newfound appreciation for New Politics.
