[DID NOT ATTEND: April 29, 2023] half•alive / Tessa Violet
I first heard of half•alive on a Tiny Desk Concert.
I’ve been interested in seeing the band because their stage show is legendary–they have two guys who basically dance–they choreograph dances for the songs.
My friend Lindsy is a huge fan and was very excited to go to the show. I grabbed a ticket pretty quickly and then realized that it was the same night as Placebo. I assumed Placebo would cancel, but when they didn’t I was able to sell my ticket.
Lindsy and her family got there pretty early and actually met some of the band. She also handed out pieces of paper for the fans to light up color blocks during one of the songs. And it looked pretty great.
I know they had a great time. I’m still not entirely sure if I know (or would even like) their music, but I loved her dedication.
Turns out half alive is pretty dancey in an alt kind of way and I’m sure I’d like them. Especially live.
Tessa Violet Williams, previously known as Meekakitty, is a singer-songwriter, video blogger, actress, music video director, and former model. She writes simple bedroom pop songs that are catchy and sound quite sweet. Her narrators are awkward and on the verge of love.
For ease of searching I include half alive.
