Nothing returns to Detroit with their most transformative work yet — a live experience built around A Short History of Decay, the band’s most ambitious and emotionally raw album to date. Known as shoegaze rule-breakers and renegades, Nothing has always pushed past the limits of the genre, but this era cuts even deeper: louder, heavier, more vulnerable, and more sonically expansive than anything they’ve done before.The new record captures frontman Domenic “Nicky” Palermo at his most honest — confronting essential tremors, addiction, trauma, and the physical and emotional weight of life on the road. Songs like “Never Come Never Morning,” “Essential Tremors,” and the industrial-gaze surge of “Cannibal World” hit with an intensity that feels almost overwhelming live. Add in the baroque textures of Purple Strings, desert-wide soundscapes from three guitarists, and the signature wall-of-noise catharsis the band is famous for, and you have a show built to swallow the room whole.
This is a rare chance to hear Nothing’s new era performed with the full lineup — Nicky Palermo, Doyle Martin, Bobb Bruno, Zachary Jones, and Cam Smith — bringing their most personal and sonically adventurous record to life. Recorded at the legendary Sonic Ranch and envisioned as the final chapter of a decade-long story, A Short History of Decay hits even harder on stage.
For fans of Slowdive, Whirr, My Bloody Valentine, Deafheaven, Narrow Head, and Hum, this night is essential. Nothing remains one of the most compelling forces in modern shoegaze, and this performance will be a stunning, immersive reminder of why.
