The Brooklyn band performed \u201cHusbands,\u201d \u201cCobras,\u201d and \u201cHalf Real\u201d on the long-running concert series<\/p>\n

\n\tGeese<\/a> rocked up to NPR\u2019s Tiny Desk with their own assortment of trinkets and trio of songs from their celebrated 2025 album<\/a>, Getting Killed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile the Brooklyn band definitely didn\u2019t break out the acoustic instruments, they filled their set list with some of Getting Killed\u2019s more subtle tunes to complement the intimate setting. Geese opened with the mesmerizing slow burner \u201cHusbands,\u201d settled into the heady \u201cCobra\u201d next, then closed with a resonant yet aching \u201cHalf Real.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn between \u201cHusbands\u201d and \u201cCobra,\u201d frontman Cameron Winter<\/a> joked about the surprisingly big crowd that had shown to see the breakthrough rock act. \u201cIs this a ticketed thing?\u201d he quipped in a knowingly wry deadpan. \u201cI thought it was just NPR staffers here, I don\u2019t know. And friends \u2014 NPR staffers don\u2019t have this many friends!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAs NPR noted in its write-up, prior to the band\u2019s performance, Geese bassist Dominic DiGesu gleefully added to the assortment of books, knickknacks, and office supplies cluttering the desks around the \u201cstage\u201d and the shelves behind it. His contributions included a stuffed Snoopy toy, a figurine of Sonic the Hedgehog cradling Jesus, a hat for his beloved New York Mets, and (most obviously and appropriately) a toy goose a fan gifted to them on tour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGeese released Getting Killed last September, with the album marking their third full-length and first since 2023\u2019s 3D Country. The record earned rave reviews and landed at Number Five on Rolling Stone\u2019s list of the 100 Best Albums of 2025<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGeese spent much of last year touring North America in support of Getting Killed, and they\u2019re set to return to the road this month with a run of Australian shows, followed by dates in Japan, and then Europe and the U.K. During the spring and summer, they\u2019ll play a handful of big festivals in the U.S., including Coachella, Governors Ball, and Bonnaroo.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Brooklyn band performed \u201cHusbands,\u201d \u201cCobras,\u201d and \u201cHalf Real\u201d on the long-running concert series Geese rocked up to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471943,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,27567,136,99621],"class_list":{"0":"post-471942","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-geese","12":"tag-music","13":"tag-npr-tiny-desk"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471942\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
