KIM PETRAS
+ Mazurbate
Fine Line Music Cafe
Fri 06/21/2019 (7pm/$15/Sold Out)

It’s easy to see that the upcoming Kim Petras’ Fine Line Show has sold out. She’s got a ton of fans, thanks to her #1 Spotify Global Viral 50 “I Don't Want It At All” or her Top 40 radio hit “Heart to Break”. We last saw her with Troye Sivan Oct 2018 and wrote, “Petras played her debut hit single “I Don't Want It at All”, and based on the brother and sister and others, in front of my seat, she’s got quite a few fans. They were mimicking (in an awesome way) the way Petras does her “woot” after some songs.”

Mazurbate (aka Matthew Mazur) will open.

21-year-old Atlanta-based singer-songwriter and Yo-Yo enthusiast Faye Webster will be headlining the 7th Street Entry in support of her new album Atlanta Millionaires Club (Secretly Canadian).

You may recall that we saw her in March 2019 and mentioned, “She actually did a Father cover song, called “Cheap Thrills”, converting the rap/hip-hop song to something pleasant and muzak... although it did sound a bit weird when Webster sings “We’re nowhere near a lake, but I can still get you pretty wet.””

I’m also happy to see that Jenny O. will be opening. What a good pairing.

Ever wondered whatever happened to A.A. Bondy? We last saw him in person in Mar 2009… Well, according to the singer, “In 2012 I quit making music and joined an MDMA surf club in Los Angeles. Years passed. People died. I drank heavily and started meditating. I fell in love with Anita Baker.”

He started writing music again in late 2016 and the result can be found on his new album Enderness. A.A. Bondy will be touring in support of the new record, stopping by the 7th Street Entry this June 20th.

I think Lara and Kate have the right idea when they expressed their hate for the Fine Line Cafe. The way it's set up, it's in a long rectangle with terrible viewing - that is unless you're near the front. There's also overhead giant pipes that makes it hard to see if you're rich enough to afford a table upstairs (I was told it was a minimum of $25 per person per seat if you choose to get a table).

So, this Cold War Kids' show on October 10^th, was sold out. Lots of younger-looking, er, youths, but there is the odd retired guys (!) and the rude professional photographer. Oh, let me also mention that despite having a photo pass, it was ultimately useless as the Fine Line does not offer any sort of safe haven for photographers.

A.A. Bondy - American Hearts

I was kind of surprise to see that AA Bondy was the opening act. Clearly his Americana/folksy/rootsy music sounds nothing like CWK's sound of energetic youth indie rock! Still, playing in front of several sold-out shows, might help spread words around - even though the audience wasn't there for him.

It was a bonus for me, as I did review American Hearts last year and seeing the songs played live. Some highlights was when he said he was going to do a whole Christian song right before "Vice Rag" (the opening line was "sweet, sweet cocaine"). The set was pretty low-key until Dylan, I mean Bondy went electric with the last two songs, "Killed Myself When I Was Young" and "American Hearts".

Cold War Kids storm the stage with two piano-driven songs ("Every Valley is Not a Lake" and "We Used to Vacation"), before singer Nathan Willett took center stage. What's kind of interesting to note is that most of their set, they were backlit, which makes for impossible photography without the aid of the flash.

Speaking of flash, during "Robbers", the lights was almost turned off and the smoke machine worked overtime to show off the flashlights they had brought on tour. I'm sure this sounds stupid, but it was pretty cool to witness.

The audience loved all their hits, especially this one, "Hang Me Up to Dry":
