On Thursday, February 13, 2025, influential British funk band Cymande began their winter tour in support of their newest release, Renascence, at Irving Plaza in New York City. They were joined by Bathe, of Brooklyn, who will support the influential band on their current tour.

I have been wanting to see Cymande perform ever since catching their documentary, Getting it Back: The Story of Cymande at Nitehawk Cinema in 2023 and I was so happy to attend and document their performance for a gallery done for Impose Magazine.

A few photos from their NYC documentary premiere on Tuesday April 25, 2023 can be found below.
