At this moment in time, there is a social pressure to visually broadcast experiences to others, which can interrupt a concerted effort to truly be present. This is one of the first sensations I noted upon entering @tdgarden for Phoebe Bridgers’ @thelosttour last Tuesday night. Venue staff scanned our digital tickets and printed out individual receipts with our seat and section numbers. All recording devices were placed in Yondr pouches, only to be unlocked at the conclusion of the show, or in a few approved areas of the venue. With my hands free from technology, I had no choice but to look around me: bodies were angled towards each other, gazes shared, with hands occupied by drinks, concessions, and recently purchased merch.

I noticed the size of the notepad I was using resembled that of a smartphone. The difference was my active reflection of my surroundings — not anything else that could arrest my attention. Everywhere I looked, there was a collective task at hand: to simply be.

Aldous Harding stopped at The Sinclair in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on September 14th, as the fourth stop on her U.S. tour. Take a look at photos captured at the Cambridge show:

Andey Samhain at O’Brien’s Pub in Allston. My first time covering a show at this venue! Will definitely be back.

If you know me, you’re probably well aware of my love for @ladygaga. Her music, production, dances, and her unrelenting vision to make something wholly hers has touched me in ways I only fully understood until I saw her live for the first time at @tdgarden.

King Princess, also known as Mikaela Straus, made a stop at Boston’s House of Blues on November 2nd as part of their ‘Girl Violence’ Tour, supporting their newly released album of the same name. The show drew a sizable crowd that clearly reflected KP’s dedicated fanbase, many of whom have followed KP’s career since their breakout single “1950” in 2018. 

The Brooklyn-born artist’s latest record, Girl Violence, combines pop and rock influences with lyrics dealing with identity, self-perception, and an embracing of messy, queer love. Compared to earlier releases, this album leans more heavily on guitar and distortion, but not without holding onto the unique vocal melodies that have defined Straus’s work since the start of their career. The live production definitely matched that shift in tone — with an unfiltered stage presence and a graffiti-covered backdrop, to which KP adds each touring city’s name with spray paint at the end of every show.
