PHOTOS: Blak Emoji Mesmerize at Irving Plaza

Filed Under: Live Shows, New York City — By: Elke Nominikat

Easily among our top favorite artists of 2016: Blak Emoji! Behind the electro-pop-rock project is vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kelsey. While he is recording the Blak Emoji tracks by himself with the finishing touches of different producers, Kelsey expands his solo act to a four-piece band when playing live.

We are lucky to having caught Blak Emoji at Pianos (review here), at Festival 8 that Kelsey put together (review here), booked the band for our own Northside Festival showcase (review here) and recently saw Blak Emoji at one of the biggest stages and venues New York City has to offer: Irving Plaza.

Blak Emoji is currently recording and the debut EP is to be expected later this or early next year. It’ll be worth the wait in any case! In the meantime, dig some photos from the fantastic Irving Plaza show and head out to Blak Emoji’s upcoming shows:
