This Is The Kit
Le Poisson Rouge168B Bleecker Street, New York 10012
This Is The Kit, the musical project fronted by Kate Stables, plays Le Poisson Rouge. The project is described as Stables and whoever joins her, so the billed show does not specify a fixed lineup.
Its songs have been described as untangling emotional knots and weaving remarkable stories. The project’s own Bandcamp points to Stables’ “hypnotic twang pattern” and “voice of rare, unaffected beauty.”
Le Poisson Rouge offers a versatile space where artistry meets nightlife, with a capacity of around 700 and a modular stage that adapts to diverse performances. The venue blends seated classical concerts with standing rock or DJ sets, creating a dynamic flow throughout the evening. Its design, by Walters-Storyk Design Group, ensures excellent acoustics and sightlines, allowing you to catch every detail from the front row to the back. The adjacent Gallery Bar provides a quieter spot with a small stage, perfect for more intimate moments. Expect a night that can shift from focused listening to lively dancing, with a full bar available but no full restaurant. Shows are ticketed, and buying ahead is recommended. The venue’s rich programming spans classical, indie, jazz, and more, reflecting its founders’ vision to fuse popular and art cultures in a single vibrant setting.
