Capsized
by MusicLover123 on 10/25/23Brighton Music Hall presented by Citizens - BostonWhen you fall in love with a band on Spotify it’s always a risk to see them perform live. Sometimes you win (Stars, Sigur Ros, Sufjan Stevens), sometimes you lose (Alt J, MGMT, Arcade Fire). Unfortunately, for Frenship, it was a loss. From the moment the opening act lost her voice on the first note, things quickly went downhill. Lack of organization, preparation and sheer musical talent was apparent. Frenship have the songs - the catchy hooks, the vibey jams - but they struggled to capture even an ounce of the magic I expected. If they were going for a stripped down, acoustic show, then market the show like that. But for god’s sake hire a tour manager, a drummer, an LD, have a setlist and rehearse before the show!
