[DID NOT ATTEND: April 9, 2025] half•alive / The Walters / Mehro
I first heard of half•alive on a Tiny Desk Concert.
I’ve been interested in seeing the band because their stage show is legendary–they have two guys who basically dance–they choreograph dances for the songs.
I missed them in 2023 when they played TLA. My friend Lindsy is a huge fan and was very excited to go to the show. She got there early and even met the band. But The Fillmore was too big of a venue for me to “check out” this band, so I didn’t go. I know that half alive is pretty dancey in an alt kind of way and I’m sure I’d like them live, but I didn’t feel like going.
The Walters played on a half•alive song so I see the connection. They’re a bit more low-key than half•alive, though. They remind me of AJR (but the less wacky parts). Catchy though.
mehro pronounced “marrow,”
the name mehro encapsulates their goal of seeping into the literal DNA of listeners. “The concept was born from bone marrow: It’s essential for us to live, but we never see it,” recalls mehro.
Woah.
mehro’s rich, multi-layered music has an airy, dreamlike sound that lures the listener in before giving way to the bleak emotions bubbling just below the surface.
I listened to a song and enjoyed the mix of lo-fi bedroom pop and full band screaming choruses. They defied my expectation for sure.
For ease of searching I include half alive.
