I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: October 12, 2025] Sasami / Jia Pet

A couple of years ago Sasami did a tour for her metal-adjacent album and it was wild.  I am so bummed I missed it.  I was pretty psyched to see her open for Destroy Boys.  But her sound has changed since that album and she is now in a far more poppy style of music.

I enjoyed her show–she’s still amazing performer, and I liked the music, but not as much as I liked the previous album.

This show coincided with my tickets for The Damned anyway, so she didn’t stand a chance,

Jia Pet plays poppy dance music.  It’s satisfying.  But I can’t find anything out about her. Here’s a review of her show in Dallas

First up was Jia Pet, an as of yet little-known solo musician whose drum and bass influence drives her tongue-in-cheek, ultra-sweet indie pop sound. The preface she gave to her first song, explaining that it was about “the rice in a rice cooker having a party,” established a whimsical mood for her set. To emphasize her bubbly personality, she brought out a bubble gun during her performance and gave new meaning to the term “pop music.”

The full review and photos makes it look like she still puts on a really fun show.  Maybe next time.
