Has anybody caught the Phoebe Bridgers tour yet. Went to Manchester of Sunday and it was verging on hysteria at times. Granted I did not have the best seat(beggars can't be choosers it was difficult to get any tickets) but at times it seems like I had the whole of the Apollo singing in front of me and it was difficult to here anything coming from the stage. That was on the more popular songs like Motion Sickness and Kyoto etc. It was better on the less known numbers. The audience screamed everytime she moved, turned her back or struck a chord on the guitar. I was expecting the Beatles to walk onstage.
Also strange that about 75% of the audience were female which I have no issues with but its just a reverse of your normal rock gig. All seem to enjoy it immensely.
I love Phoebe Bridgers so I am so happy she is receiving this level of support but it does not make for great viewing for a deaf old git like me. On the plus side it did mean that Apsley Cottage Inn on the side of the Apollo was virtually empty given the age group of many of the audience. I had given it a miss at first but there is literally no other pubs close by although a few when walking from town.
Anyway off to Brixton on Friday to see her again and as I am standing in Stalls shoud be able to get somewhere were I can hear.
Check her out if you don't know her she is amazing.
