Lover Girl Book Launch x Car Crash Collective
About This Event
At the Knitting Factory, the Lover Girl book launch appears alongside a set from Car Crash Collective. Both projects circulate New York’s indie rock/pop rooms and DIY bills, sharing lineups with Afternoon Bike Ride, Peaer, Wendy Eisenberg and Kissy Noises, and favor direct songwriting and tight ensemble playing over spectacle.
About Lover Girl
“Lover Girl” appears here as a New York–based live project, not the Laufey single, moving through the city’s rock/pop and DIY circuit. At Knitting Factory and Night Club 101, it’s framed as a book launch set alongside Car Crash Collective, with shared lineage to bills that have included Afternoon Bike Ride, Peaer, Wendy Eisenberg, and Kissy Noises. No specific NYC premiere history has been documented, but its presence in these rooms places it inside a familiar ecosystem of tight ensembles and direct songwriting. The critical detail is its format: literature and bandstand treated as the same stage.
