New Wet Kojak Tickets

New Wet Kojak emerged in 1995 from the New York City underground scene, formed by Scott McCloud and Johnny Temple of Girls Against Boys, joined by Geoff Turner, Nick Pellicciotto, and Charles Bennington. The band sits at the crossroads of indie rock, noise, and jazz-inflected textures, delivering provocative, saxophone-woven songs with a fearless experimental edge. Over the years, they’ve carved a distinct place in the NYC scene with a sound that’s both intimate and sprawling, threaded through with sharp guitar work and hypnotic rhythms.

While they’ve kept a lower public profile in recent years, New Wet Kojak has remained a touchstone for fans of provocative, texturally rich rock. In late 2023, the band announced a reunion with a five-piece lineup, bringing new energy to NYC-area venues and preserving the band’s signature blend of indie rock and adventurous soundscapes.

The discography highlights also include the No. 4 EP (2001) and Nasty International (1997), each project showcasing a willingness to experiment with structure, texture, and mood. The band’s sound has been described as arty, jazz-inflected rock that blends indie rock with noise, saxophone, and experimental textures—an approach that resonates with listeners who crave something artful yet visceral.

Reunion shows announced in December 2023 highlighted performances in NYC and Brooklyn at venues like Tubby’s and Saint Vitus Bar, though Saint Vitus Bar reportedly closed in 2024, influencing potential future showcases.
