Watch boygenius Perform New Song ‘Not Strong Enough’ At Carnegie Hall

boygenius took the stage last night in New York City for just their second public performance since ending a 2018 tour in support of their eponymous debut EP. The supergroup featuring Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus offered the live premieres of two songs from their forthcoming debut full-length album The Record as part of the 36th Annual Tibet House US Benefit Concert at Carnegie Hall.

Artistic director Philip Glass, New Order, Allison Russell, Laurie Anderson, Arooj Aftab, Patti Smith Band (Lenny Kaye, Tony Shanahan, Jay Dee Daughtry and Glen Burtnik), Marc Anthony Thompson and Tenzin Choegyal were among others who performed at the yearly fundraiser. Gogol Bordello closed out the concert with a set that concluded in traditional Tibet House benefit fashion with the evening’s performers contributing to “People Have The Power.”

boygenius were a last-minute addition to the lineup. The trio’s last performance was held on November 19, 2021 at the San Francisco charity event Bread & Roses. Yesterday’s set came on the same day boygenius unveiled the studio version of “Not Strong Enough” from The Record. Bridgers, Baker and Dacus presented the live debut of the song as well as the first live performance of fellow The Record cut “Cool About It” at Carnegie Hall. The album is due out via Interscope Records on March 31.
