Long Play Sessions: LCD Soundsystem & Yeah Yeah Yeahs

If you have been looking for a way to spend a Saturday evening that leans into a bit of 2000s nostalgia, there is a session happening at Presuming Ed Coffeehouse on April 11, 2026. The event, titled Long Play Sessions, is essentially a themed night dedicated to the New York music scene of that era. The organisers are focusing on two specific records: the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' 2003 album Fever to Tell and the 2005 self-titled debut from LCD Soundsystem. The plan is to play these albums in their entirety, at a high volume, which might be a change of pace if you are used to listening to them on headphones or through smaller speakers.

Beyond the album playbacks, the evening includes DJ sets from James Kendall and the duo AK/DK. They have been selected to curate music that fits the electro-clash, nu-disco, and indie rock aesthetic of that time. It is not just about the music, though; the organisers have included some extra activities like games, dance competitions, and a section for art and crafting. It seems to be a fairly casual setup, aiming to recreate a specific atmosphere rather than a formal concert experience.

The doors at the venue, located at 114-115 London Road, open at 18:30. Entry is free, so there is no need to worry about tickets or booking in advance. It is a straightforward event for anyone who wants to hear those specific albums played out loud or just spend a few hours in a space dedicated to that particular sound and era. Whether you are a fan of the bands or just looking for something different to do in Brighton that Saturday, the event is open to anyone interested in the music and the activities planned.
