Recently, Hockey, the Portland, Oregon based rock band, dropped by SPIN’s Manhattan offices for a special SPINHouse Live sponsored by VTech. On the NYC rooftop they performed songs from their debut album, Mind Chaos. An intimate gathering of 200 saw the band burn through the record’s highly infectious New Wave-tinged tracks. The set-list included “Work,” “Put The Game Down,” and “Too Fake.” Now it’s your turn to enjoy their performance as well.
Look for more videos coming soon.

All the way from Portland, Oregon, HOCKEY took the stage at the latest edition of SPINhouse Live series on Thursday night, presented by VTech and rocked the crowd with their music and charm. This dance-rock band entertained an intimate crowd of 200 on the rooftop of SPIN’s downtown Manhattan office as part of last week’s CMJ Music Festival.
With a setlist with songs like “Work,” “3am Spanish,” “Learn to Lose,” “Song Away,” “Too Fake,” and “Put the Game Down,” Hockey’s set was as tight as their pants. Their six-song show pulled from the group’s recently released debut, Mind Chaos, combined retro dance-punk with synth-heavy New Wave. A mix of genres leading to a most contagious hodge-podge of song.
“Work” had bassist Jeremy “Jerm” Reynolds showing off his prodigious 4-string skills amid countless flashing iPhones, while “Put the Game Down” alternated between a club-ready dance groove, courtesy of keyboardist Ryan Dolliver and drummer Anthony Stassi, and balls-out arena-rock, courtesy of Brian White’s schizoid guitar solo.
Grubin’s voice is a big, scraggly, soulful thing equally at home spittin’ pseudo-rhymes (as he did on “3am Spanish”) and belting the blues (as he did on “Learn to Lose”).
And Grubin is also a humble hipster. “We actually played on a roof once in San Francisco. It took us like two hours to move our stuff up there and there were like four people,” Grubin grinned. “This is much better.”
