[POSTPONED: March 31, 2020] Soccer Mommy / Tomberlin
I was supposed to see Soccer Mommy open for Phoebe Bridgers a few years back. I felt sick on the way down to the show so I wound up coming home instead.
I loved the name that Sophie Allison had chosen for her project. Soccer Mommy had released a bunch of songs on bandcamp between 2015-2017. She put out her first “real” album just before I was supposed to see her. She has since released Color Theory, which is getting rave reviews. I am genuinely surprised she was able to headline Union Transfer, though.
NPR loves Soccer Mommy. They also love Tomberlin, who is Sarah Beth Tomberlin. I saw her Tiny Desk Concert, and thought she was okay. I gather that her Tiny Desk Concert doesn’t really show what her live show would be like.
I was torn between this show and Vagabon on the same night. I suspect that I’d have picked Johnny Brenda’s over Union Transfer, but it’s also possible I would have just stayed home. This was the eighteenth show I was interested in seeing in March. Wow, what a jam-packed month.
