Pittsburgh hardcore band Code Orange has livestreamed their performance to an empty Roxian Theatre in Pittsburgh, PA via Twitch. The show was planned as their record release party for their fourth LP Underneath—out Friday, March 13 via Roadrunner—before the venue postponed all of its scheduled shows in March due to coronavirus concerns. Check out the video from the show below.
The show was set to feature Every Time I Die, Zao, Jesus Piece, Machine Girl, and Facewreck as opening bands. Lead singer Jami Morgan broke the fourth wall only once, thanking fans for tuning in and criticizing the “ratfucks in charge” he deemed responsible for worsening the pandemic. The production featured several CGI-laden videos projected onstage and interspersed in the stream among live shots of the band performing to the empty 1,470-person capacity room. The Twitch stream peaked at nearly 13,000 concurrent viewers.
