Maisie Peters at Waterloo Records

The “Good Witch” herself, Maisie Peters, made an afternoon stop at local Austin record store Waterloo Records before heading to perform her headline set at Emo’s later tonight.

The event was part performance, part autograph signing for vinyls and CDs of her newest album, The Good Witch. Maisie and her guitar player Joel Peat played an intimate acoustic set of Body Better, Wendy, Want You Back and Lost the Breakup to dozens of cheering fans, encouraging them to sing along for the last song.

Maisie then signed albums (and anything else) for fans that had purchased The Good Witch, and expressed excitement for her Emo’s show later that night. Check out the photos below, by Gaby Deimeke.

Boys Like Girls at Stubb’s

It felt like early 2000’s again when the guitar riff’s came in at the end of the night at Stubb’s Amphitheater in Austin, Texas on Monday. Lead singer Martin Johnson of pop-punk band Boys Like Girls crooned the intro line to arguably one of the best songs of 2006, “The Great Escape.”

The band had been dark for nearly 12 years before making a comeback and announcing a new album earlier in May, to the thorough excitement of fans.

The show was a throwback to the angsty, screamy love songs, leather jackets and spikey hair, with fans crowdsurfing the upbeat songs and swaying to the slow ones.

Boys Like Girls played a great combination of their old hits–“Thunder,” “Hero/Heroine,” “Love Drunk,” and “Dance Hall Drug” and a few off their new album, including the first single, “Blood and Sugar.”

They ended the show playing, “The Great Escape,” first so that the crowd could record it, and then requesting that they play it again with no phones so fans could enjoy the song like it was 2006 again. The encore was a stripped down acoustic version of “Two Is Better Than One.” See the photos below, taken by Gaby Deimeke.

Lauv in Taipei

You may not know it, but Lauv has a strong fan base in Taipei, which can clearly be seen by his sold-out show at Nangang Exhibition Center on August 31. Thousands of fans showed up with their light-up Lauv signs to sing and dance the night away, unconcerned that they would have to go back to work and school the next morning.

Lauv opened the show with his latest single “Love U Like That,” and then moved right into “Paris in the Rain.” During this song, he changed the lyrics to “Taipei in the rain,” and the fans screamed their appreciation inside the arena while rain appropriately poured down outside.

The show consisted of favorites like “fuck, i’m lonely,” dance breaks with “Molly In Mexico,” and Lauv even asked the audience for their opinion on the song they’d like to hear next. Between “Mean It” and “Lonely Eyes,” “Mean It” edged out a win, but only barely, as the audience cheered loudly for both.

The night was filled with good vibes and dancing to sad songs, and we hope that Lauv makes another stop in Taipei again next time!

P1Harmony at Opry House

February 12, 2023 was a night to remember – and not because of the Super Bowl – as P1Harmony became the first K-pop band to play the historic Grand Ole Opry in Music City. Their setlist included songs across their discography, including “Back Down” and “BFF” from their latest EP Harmony: Set In, as well as favorites from past releases such as “Doom Du Doom” and “Follow Me,” the latter in which the crowd was delightfully shocked when streamer cannons shot off towards the end of the song.

Being in Nashville, the band naturally thought to give a shout out to country music. Soul decided to sing an a capella rendition of “Home on the Range,” which was hilarious and at the same time beautiful, and the entire audience sang along with smiles on their faces.

The band acknowledged that it was Super Bowl Sunday, and everyone could have been at home watching Rihanna play. But they weren’t, so P1Harmony was grateful to their fans for being there. Judging by the cheers, deafening screams, and dancing throughout the concert, we don’t think it was a tough decision for them.

COIN at The Regency Ballroom

American indie pop rock band COIN kicked off their “Uncanny Valley” tour this month in Phoenix, AZ, and made their way to CA with stops in Los Angeles, San Diego, and most recently, San Francisco. The sold-out San Francisco show took place at The Regency Ballroom and opened with “Learning,” one of the hit songs in their Uncanny Valley album which was released in March 2022.

Throughout the entire 23-song set, the band performed with incredible energy, and lead vocalist Chase Lawrence frequently jumped off the stage to engage with fans. In addition to the songs in the Uncanny Valley album, they also played a few singles including “Brad Pitt” and “Cutie,” along with “Talk Too Much,” a fan favorite from their 2017 album How Will You Know If You Never Try. Throughout the set, the LED panel on the stage displayed impressive visuals which were individually crafted for each song.

COIN’s North American tour continues through October 2022 – make sure to catch one of their upcoming shows and enjoy these photos from the San Francisco show!

iDKHOW at Brooklyn Bowl

I Don’t Know How But They Found Me opened up their show in Nashville on February 21st with their latest hit “Leave Me Alone” to the delight of hundreds of fans. They kept the energy high up until the proclaimed sad portion of the show where they played “Need You Here” and “Door” before moving into the proclaimed selfish portion of the evening. Here, lead singer Dallon Weekes decided to play a cover of “Someday” by The Strokes just for his own enjoyment.

iDKHOW also included a couple of songs from The Brobecks, the former band of Weekes and drummer Ryan Seaman. The band had the crowd sing along during these two songs, even going as far as to have the audience harmonize, which was a daring decision with beautiful results.

They closed out the show with fan-favorite “Razzmatazz” while teasing that it was up to everyone at Brooklyn Bowl if that was going to be their last song or not. Of course, the crowd chose encore performances.
