New York’s Julia Wolf (aka WOLF), opened the show. We last mentioned that she released her debut EP Girls In Purgatory… so most of the songs played were taken from the debut, including “Falling In Love” and “In My Way”.
She also had some new songs that haven’t been released yet. One of those songs, which I’ll call “Get Off My D**k” (based on a partial setlist that she released on her Facebook page), was written after being stood up from a record label. Let me explain, you see, a major label expressed interest in her music, so they scheduled a meeting with her in person, in Los Angeles. When the day of the meeting came, Julia Wolf waited and waited, and realized the label wasn’t going to show up. She never explained what happened, but I just got the impression that the label just forgot about it or something. I guess something good came out of it, we got a song out of it.
Wolf seemed comfortable on stage, with her live drummer. The guitar music may have been from a playback loop or DJ, which I did not see on stage, at my location. We’ve seen new bands, and sometime you can tell they’re not quite ready for the stage… but seeing Wolf perform, you can tell it’s not her first rodeo. This is a feat, as Wolf explained on stage that she grew up super shy. She never spoke up, she was passive, and she let people walk all over her. Something happened, now she’s outspoken, she’ll say what’s on her mind, she’ll stand up and fight! Most of all, she’s expressing her opinion and view point, through her songs. It’s how she is expressing her inner feelings.
Hopefully that message will inspire other teenage girls at the concert, hearing Wolf tells her story.
As for Fletcher (Cari Fletcher), she started releasing her music in 2016 (with Finding Fletcher), but her first major hit was a song called “Undrunk” in 2019. The single hit the Billboard Hot 100 and Spotify’s #1 Viral Chart. Naturally radio stations started to pick up on the song, and overnight the song was the fastest-rising song at pop radio.
She started her set with “girls girls girls”, a song that reused a line from Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl”. It sets the tone that she’s a member of the LGBTQ+ community. If you weren’t sure, her latest EP The S(ex) Tapes is really about her relationship with famous YouTuber Shannon Beveridge.
She has a very strong fanbase, almost every song, you can hear her fans singing back the lyrics. As you can see in the photos, she’s literally just letting her fans finish the chorus.
Fletcher’s latest The S(ex) Tapes is available now on Capitol Records.
