BOSTON ON A SATURDAY NIGHT WITH STOLEN GIN

THE SINCLAIR — BOSTON, MA

Closing out on a good note, Stolen Gin took over The Sinclair in Boston this past Saturday to wrap up their 2025 tour. From the moment doors opened, it was clear fans came ready to move. The packed room buzzed with anticipation, and by the time the band hit the stage, there was no easing into the night. This was a full-commitment, dance-first show from start to finish.

Stolen Gin thrives in motion, and their high-energy presence never dips. Each song flowed seamlessly into the next, often stretching far beyond its studio form as the band leaned into extended jams and playful improvisation. Grooves expanded, rhythms shifted, and melodies were reshaped on the fly, and the fans were eating up every moment of it. The front rows were especially locked in, and fans danced nonstop, waving inflatable saxophones through every song.

One of the night’s biggest moments came with the live debut of their new single, “Brooklyn on a Sunday Night”, performed just one day after its release. Fresh and loose, the track fit effortlessly into the set, already carrying the confidence of a song built for late nights and crowded rooms. The band has been slowly implementing their new sounds through a series of single releases this year, and this seemed to be the culmination of just that. Now with this new addition, they have released a total of 5 new songs in 2025, leaving the suspension of what’s coming next.  

Improvisation is at the heart of Stolen Gin; from jamming out on social media, the band has kept this tradition as a part of their identity in their live performances. Every jam served the energy in the room, pushing the crowd higher rather than losing them. The band constantly played off one another, locking into grooves that felt spontaneous yet controlled and smooth. There was a sense that no two songs and no two moments were happening the same way twice.

As the night barreled onward, Stolen Gin leaned into crowd-pleasing territory with covers that felt celebratory rather than predictable. Their take on “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” transformed the familiar into something funkier and more kinetic, while the closing number, their beloved cover of “Gypsy Woman”, sent the room into a final collective release. By that point, the floor was a blur of movement, the band fully in sync with an audience that had been dancing since the first note.

Fans were bittersweet to see the night go as it was clear this wasn’t just a tour stop, it was a victory lap on such a successful tour. Stolen Gin didn’t leave without turning the show into a  joy-filled celebration of everything they do best. Loud, loose, and impossible to stand still through, the show proved that Stolen Gin’s magic lies not just in their songs, but in what happens when they let those songs run free.
