Underground System is a shape-shifting, larger-than-life force in New York City’s dance music scene, fusing Afrobeat, punk, and disco into a sound that’s as unpredictable as it is infectious. The band’s debut LP, What Are You, earned cult status for its “David Byrne meets Soulwax” (KCRW) energy and propelled them onto global stages like Eurockéennes and Fusion Festival. Led by Domenica—returning to Bard SummerScape after playing flute for Illinoise in 2023—Underground System launches the Spiegeltent season with an unforgettable night of “exuberant dance music that blooms out into countless directions” (Rolling Stone).
