La Pucelle arrives at The Colony on November 28 with the kind of origin story that already feels mythic: a Spaniard, a Russian, and two Italians reshaping New York’s underground rock vocabulary into what they call “post-apocalyptic rock’n’roll.” The aesthetic is analog grit and cinematic sweep—songs built from body, melody, and a touch of theater. Led by vocalist and nylon-string guitarist Jackson Scott Walter, whose flamenco background gives the band its dramatic spine, La Pucelle’s sound thickens around Sasha Drey’s shamanic bass lines, Alfredo Guenzani’s primal drums, and Michele Romeo’s lyrical, Berklee-honed guitar work. Backing vocalists Maya Shaw and Eve Sharfenberg deepen the atmosphere.
Their upcoming album, now in post-production, was recorded at Clubhouse Recording Studio in Rhinebeck with producer Paul Antonell, known for his work with Parliament-Funkadelic, the B-52s, Shawn Mendes, and Post Malone. The Colony set offers an exclusive first listen to these new tracks. Early standouts include “Fruit Picker,” a hook-forward, windows-down rocker, and “Medusa Seducer,” a darker, myth-drenched counterpoint—together hinting at the day/night world the band plans to build in 2026. Kingston indie outfit Adventure opens.
