Canada’s Alice Glass, formerly of Crystal Castles, is currently on tour for her debut album PREY//IV (Eating Glass Records). The tour stopped in at the Amsterdam Bar & Hall, in St Paul, on Saturday, September 17th.
We haven’t been to the Amsterdam since 2019, so they’ve made some changes to the venue. There used to be a wall, separating the venue from the bar and food-serving area. Now, the venue looks much larger, with the removal of the wall… but it does have a weird contrast, as the bar/food-serving area is well-lit, compared to the darkness of the music dancefloor.
Los Angeles’s artist and fashion icon, Uffie (Anna-Catherine Hartley) opened the show. Uffie is a one-woman show, who sings over pre-recorded backing track. Her biggest fan, as seen at stage right, was Alice Glass, who often waves her arms in the air and mouthing Uffie’s lyrics, such as the viral hit song, “Pop the Glock”. It appears that Glass was also helping with programming the music on her laptop.
Uffie’s latest album, Sunshine Factory, came out in May 2022, via Company Records, and featured “Cool”, which she played near the end of her set.
To understand Alice Glass, you also need to understand the fanbase… which is just as important as Glass’ music. Glass’ visuals and songs about social alienation and depression resonate to her emo or goth fans. It’s not just music, but it’s a lifestyle.
Songs on the setlist includes plenty from her debut album, PREY//IV, but she threw in a couple of Crystal Castles songs, including her favorite, “Alice Practice”.
