Remi wolf concerts11/23/2023 Being a huge weirdo is the California singer-songwriter's whole deal: Her 2021 debut album Juno is packed to the gills with quirky lyrical asides, cartoon voices, and manic stylistic shifts from funk to indie rock to hyperactive pop. The Van Buren, 401 West Van Buren StreetIt's too bad Cyndi Lauper already called dibs on She's So Unusual as an album title in 1983, as it fits Remi Wolf like a glass slipper. If either of the headliners seems a bit old hat, perhaps we can interest you in opening band Drakulas, a proto-punk/synthwave concept band dressed in black turtlenecks and self-described as “ in a fictionalized, late-’70s metropolis soundtracked by drugs, pornography, video games, nightclubs, art movements and a little bit of occult esoterica.” Unoriginal they are not. tour that’s scheduled to stop at Tempe’s Marquee Theatre. These two Texas-based acts, both of whom experienced their biggest success in the '90s, have joined forces for a U.S. The Reverend Horton Heat, born Jim Heath, is a psychobilly icon whose over-the-top sounds incorporate country-fried rockabilly and surf-metal to elements of country, punk, and swing. Marquee Theatre, 730 North Mill Avenue, TempeToadies will forever be known as the band behind the grunge-soaked alt-rock radio hit “Possum Kingdom,” which has gotten regular airplay since its debut as a single decades ago. Monologuing before “Liquor Store,” the opening track from “Juno,” Wolf spoke about the uncertainty that stems from a “situationship where this person hasn’t replied to your text in, like, six hours, and you start to get a little - or a lot - anxious.” That anxiety propelled a dynamic performance and brought a new edge to the line “'Cause you like having sex like an animal / And I keep thinking you're running away from me.Thom Jackson Toadies and Reverend Horton Heat Her raw talent was bellied by a healthy self-awareness and vulnerability that facilitated her audience engagement.

Malloy led fans in a call-and-response series of affirmations, which began with the financial wisdom “I will make my credit card payment” and culminated into an echo chamber of the self-confidence mantra “It’s a Dua Lipa summer! It’s a Dua Lipa fall! I am Dua Lipa!” In what is rapidly becoming a tour tradition, Wolf invited her drummer, Conor Malloy, to take over the vocals while Wolf relegated herself to playing drums. “How many of you go ‘Aw, fuck, I’m a little mean,’” she asked ahead of an impassioned performance of “Sexy Villain.” With her speech and giddy performance, she vitalized the crowd “How many of you say to yourself, ‘Man, I am a cunty ass motherfucker?’” GoldenĮver shameless, Wolf wasn’t afraid to indulge in the colorfulness of her lyrics. Wolf donned an oversized Harvard T-shirt and pajama pants for her set.

Anyone familiar with her work, however, need not worry about a lackluster performance. As such, she faced the prospect of a lethargic reception at her third performance in Boston. Wolf’s already hit Boston a couple times this year as both a headlining act for her own tour in February and a supporting act for Lorde’s show in April. “Rule number one is I need you to scream every lyric as loud as you fucking can,” soul pop singer Remi Wolf demanded of Boston’s Roadrunner’s animated crowd at her Oct.
