[CANCELLED: April 9, 2025] Transviolet / Annabel Lee / Mixie
I had missed Transviolet when they opened for Mother Mother. But I started following them on Instagram and I found them really interesting. They announced a headlining tour and were going to play The Foundry, which was pretty ideal (although lead singer Sarah McTaggart is really energetic and I wonder how she would have coped with such a small stage).
The show was cancelled inexplicably at the last minute. I posted a question as to why on their Instagram and Sarah wrote back: it rhymes with smive smation
A last minute change allowed Sarah to play a solo show at Ortlieb’s which is pretty awesome. I didn’t know about it though. But as Sarah wrote:
love you philly, sorry we couldn’t play our show as intended, but glad we got to share this special moment together ❤️🩹 special thanks to @ortliebsphilly for coming through and being so kind to let us set up a lil merch pop up for the diehards/fans who flew in to see us
Annabel Lee was one of the openers. I didn’t know them, but their bandcamp bio says
Annabel Lee is a Los Angeles rock and roll artist known for her unhinged stage persona and “high octane” (Earmilk) vocals. Getting her start performing at hardcore shows around New England, Annabel brings that kind of unbridled energy to her shows, where everyone is on the cusp of losing their shit while also bringing senstitivity and tenderness with her heavy, imagistic lyricism.
Mixie is an LA based artist who pushes the boundaries of pop. Her music is pretty poppy but she throws in some interesting twists as well. She seems like she’d be fun live as well.
Shame this show was cancelled.
