Last Ever LCD Soundsystem Concert Tonight

After a year of threatening to do it, LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy has finally followed through, retiring the moniker.

Tonight the last ever LCD Soundsystem gig will take place, at the Madison Square Garden. Murphy has said repeatedly that he felt too old to be doing this kind of thing, but it's a shame that it's over. Having produced three amazing albums, it feels like there was still room for the act to continue on.

In saying that, maybe sometimes it's best to go out on a high. Faulty Towers only had 13 episodes. As did Firefly. Who knows if they'd be revered if they'd continued on for longer. And ending on a performance at Madison Square Garden is certainly one way to go out with a bang. Besides, Murphy has implied that he intends to continue on working on music (as well as running his own label). So maybe there's still something to come. The name may be retired, but his talent certainly isn't.

For those of unable to actually make the gig, Pitchfork will be streaming it live.
