Outernational galvanized the streets of New York City with a spontaneous, high-energy performance atop a flatbed truck, marking an unforgettable prelude to their album release show at Le Poisson Rouge on September 19. This impromptu three-hour set was not just a promotional stunt; it was a bold, visceral statement aligned with the band’s revolutionary ethos. The crowd swelled with each passing moment, drawn in by the pulsating beats and rebellious lyrics that define Outernational’s music. Led by the charismatic frontman and producer, Miles Solay, the band’s presence felt like a call to arms, a reminder that music can still provoke change.
The show doubled as a warm-up for their highly anticipated new album, Welcome to the Revolution, now available on all platforms. With the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith joining on drums, this album is a testament to Outernational’s powerful collaborations and enduring mission. The flatbed truck performance gave a tantalizing glimpse of what fans can expect at tomorrow’s album release show. Expect raw energy, explosive performances, and a palpable sense of unity, as Outernational challenges audiences to think beyond the constraints of society.
Outernational’s "future rock" blends rock, punk, and world influences to create a sound as defiant as it is inclusive. The band was co-founded by Solay and Jesse Williams and has roots in both NYC and Bogotá. Their music speaks to dreamers, fighters, lovers, and thinkers—those who still believe that art can be a force for transformation. With the likes of Tom Morello, Residente, and Bob Avakian having worked with the band, their music is both globally conscious and unapologetically political.
As a special treat, tomorrow's performance will feature Chad Smith on drums, an icon whose rhythm brought an additional layer of intensity to today’s set. This collaboration is a true testament to Outernational’s reach, connecting legendary artists with revolutionary ideas.
As they head to Los Angeles on September 28, fans across the coast should prepare for a sonic revolution. Those who witness these performances will leave not just entertained, but empowered, feeling part of something larger. With each note and lyric, Outernational invites all with humanity in their hearts to join the movement—join the Revolution.
