[ATTENDED: April 18, 2024] Sir Chloe / Daffo
Daffo is a Philadelphia-ish musician (they are from the area but have also lived in NJ and other places, but they said this was a homecoming show).
Daffo’s voice is interesting for someone from the east coast as they have a bit of a twang–although not on every song. But there’s some good bite in the lyrics: “I’m a shame collector, I’m a hoarder.”
They played two unreleased songs and then a few from the new(ish) EP Pest.
The songs are mostly mellow, at least a lot of them have slow introductions or first verses and then the band kicked in. But I liked the way that “Collector” started slow, got a little bigger and then got huge for the chorus before settling down again.
“Runner’s High” rocked a bit harder to start with and then got quieter.
I really enjoyed the new song “Go Fetch” which seemed simple but had a lot going on it.
The lyrics to “Seed” were quite good too.
Critters, eat me, I want to be nourishing to see you feasting would make me feel so full I try so hard to be edible
And “Poor Madeline” was a great song that was even more intense live.
They ended the set with a rather goofy little country track in which she really flared her twangy voice. It’s hard to know if this is a natural tendency of her voice or if she puts it on for songs.
My daughter loved her set and after the show, they hung around and I got a photo of the two of them together.
