Touring musicians take note: while your spring rendezvous may be postponed for now, you can still play to audiences across the globe via live stream. Seemingly taking cues from talk shows devoid of studio audiences earlier this week, Pittsburgh metal innovators Code Orange are going through with tomorrow night’s concert consummating the release of their brand new LP Underneath, albeit to an audience of Twitch streamers rather than to rowdy locals.
The original plan was to headline a stacked bill featuring such diverse and equally unclassifiable acts as Every Time I Die, Show Me the Body, Jesus Piece, Year of the Knife, Machine Girl, Zao, and Facewreck, but today the group announced on Twitter that the event would be closed to the public.
LAST ONES LEFT: Fear of the End is the official name the band has given the new event, which now appears to be a one-band bill streaming live on Twitch. Obviously the event will be free admission, though the band invites you to donate and/or purchase merch exclusive to the event.
The festivities kick off at 9 p.m. Eastern Time tomorrow night, and you can tune in here. Underneath is out now via Roadrunner Records—order it here.
