I Just Read About That…

[ATTENDED: June 16, 2025] Lip Critic

I had not heard of Lip Critic and never imagined that they would be headlining this show.  But when they started I realized why they were better suited as the headliners–because they are crazy and would be very hard to follow.

I actually wondered if they were even playing songs or just improvising loudly on stage (they are playing songs and do have records out, so settle down).  It’s not just that it was loud (it was), it’s that it was chaotic in the extreme.

There were two drummers (yay), a guy who made all the sounds but who faced away from the audience the whole time (but did a lot of dancing)  and then the singer/screamer, who was fun and funny and brought a good time to all the chaos.

I couldn’t understand a word he said, and I’m not sure how anyone was able to figure out the setlist for the show [okay, no one had the setlist for this show, but the setlist below is from a recent show].  And yet, I had a ton of fun and so did everyone around me.

I listened to the band after the show and they are definitely not someone I would listen to, but I would absolutely see them live again, because they put on a great show.
