[DID NOT ATTEND: August 23, 2025] Silversun Pickups
I saw Silversun PIckups at this venue last year. Even though they are from the West Coast, they sure seem to play NY/NJ/PA a lot. Which is great!
I really enjoyed their show last year, and was excited to see them again. Then we wound up scheduling our vacation and this show was right in the middle of it. I was able to sell my ticket (at a big loss, but it’s better than nothing).
Setlist tells me they played the exact same set (with a couple fewer songs!) with one cover that was different. I wouldn’t have minded the same setlist, but it certainly lets me know I didn’t miss anything too major. But I’d certainly see them again.
Girl Tones is a duo of sisters Kenzie and Laila Shultz. Both classically trained musicians, Kenzie “transitioned from cello to guitar and Laila from piano to drums in an effort to electrify sentient beings from this galaxy to the next.” They “explore every corner of rock ‘n’ roll, flawlessly mastering everything from punk to indie while still maintaining their signature fiery impact.”
The first part of their EP is simple (guitar and drums) delicate pop with the vocals being high and airy. But the second half of the EP rocks pretty riffing hard and almost sounds like a different band.
