Superchunk showed off new drummer Laura King as they brought their tour in support of “Songs in the Key of Yikes” to Bearsville Theater in Woodstock. Sydney, Australia’s Tee Vee Repairman, led by Ishka Edmedeas, particularly impressed, opening the show.

After Wurster’s departure, it was initially hard to imagine Superchunk without him, but King is a perfect fit. She seemed particularly energized on new tracks “Care Less” and “Stuck in a Dream” where her own original parts are as creative as they are propulsive. King gets a true cardio workout during a 20-plus song Superchunk set and I marvel at her stamina.
