[DID NOT ATTEND: May 20, 2022] Pom Pom Squad / Chloe Lilac
I was really interested in seeing Pom Pom Squad–their album Death of a Cheerlader was really good retro-grungy pop fun.
Then I saw them (unexpectedly) open for Nada Surf and they were fantastic.
That was about six month ago and I thought they’d be even better in a headline show.
But I’d already had a ticket for another show this night (which I wound up not gong to anyway). I was feeling some seasonal concert burnout by the end of May for sure.
Chloe Lilac is a young Brooklyn singer. It seems like her earlier stuff is a little more synthy but her newest stuff has a bit more grunge (with lots of f-bombs) and would work well with Pom Pom Squad.
Clout says
Chloe Lilac is an artist that has been growing exponentially as of late. All it felt like she needed to solidify this was a full body of work to represent this step up, which is now here in the form of her latest extended play DOUCHEBAG.
The EP is packed full of huge tunes, from its unapologetic and brass title track, to the confrontational ‘WHO IS EMILY?’, to the more calculated and thoughtful closer ‘JANSPORT’. Chloe Lilac has shown that she is an artist that can do it all, and do it all in the context of her razor-sharp indie pop sound.
