On May 13, Lake Street Dive stepped into the spotlight at Huntington, N.Y.’s The Paramount for the second performance of their 2025 U.S. tour. After a whirlwind 2024 that brought their landmark eighth album Good Together and their longest tour to date, Boston’s premier indie-rock quintet shows no signs of slowing down, and their Tuesday show was a testament to to their sustained energy.

Lake Street Dive opened their electrifying 22-track set with the title track from their last full-length, then tore through eight of the 11 songs on that record. Outside those new entries, they lit up longtime favorites like “Hypothetical,” “Baby, Don’t Leave Me Alone With My Thoughts,” “Bad Self Portraits” and “Good Kisser,” as well as covers of Shania Twain’s “You’re Still the One,” Hall & Oates’ “Rich Girl” and an acoustic treatment of The Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back.” On the whole, the evening was an infectious expression of the “joyful rebellion” that Lake Street Dive have sought to inspire in their current era.

“There’s a lot to be angry about in the world right now, a lot of pain and rage and divisiveness, but it isn’t sustainable to constantly live in that anger – you need something else to keep you going,” drummer Mike Calabrese expressed on the group’s bold new outlook. “Joy is a great way to sustain yourself, and we wanted to encourage everyone to stay aware of that. In a way this album is our way of saying, ‘Take your joy very seriously.’”
