Pale Waves in Concert

It's not often that a band gets to play to a sold-out Madison Square Garden before they've even put their first record out. But that's the situation U.K. quartet Pale Waves found themselves in back in June of 2017. Granted, they were there as the support act for British pop powerhouse The 1975, but the fact they were hand-picked by the headliner's frontman, Matt Healy, is indicative of the sort of, well, waves this group has been making in a short amount of time. 

Formed by singer/guitarist Heather Baron-Gracie and drummer Ciara Doran while they were students at Manchester's BIMM Institute, Pale Waves debuted in 2017 with the swoon-worthy single "There's a Money," which infused the shimmer and yearning of ‘80s alterna-icons like The Cure and Cocteau Twins with a modern pop thrust and the sort of disarming chorus ("I would give you my body / but I'm not sure that you love me") that sucker-punches you in the gut like a breakup text. The follow-up release, "Television Romance," was a dizzying dance-pop jam whose Healy-directed video — featuring Pale Waves performing in all their goth-glam glory in a cramped apartment living room — served as an unsubtle metaphor for a band brimming with potential and ready to break out of the indie scene's cozy confines. That moment finally arrived with the September 2018 release of the band's debut LP, ‘My Mind Makes Noises,' which hit the Top 10 in the U.K. and No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseeker chart in the U.S. The album is not only a showcase of Pale Waves' stylistic breadth — as they bound from the new-wave sparkle of "One More Time" to the cool, finger-snapped R&B of "Loveless Girl" — but Baron-Gracie's emotional depth as a lyricist: When she chronicles her grandfather's death on the acoustic ballad "Karl (I Wonder What It's Like to Die)," there isn't a dry eye in the house.

    Even better live

    by Joe1664 on 12/22/23

    I saw Pale Waves in Camden in February 2023. They were really great live and struck a great balance between playing their songs and interacting with the crowd. Heather was a great host and we got to hear loads of songs plus some new releases. This gig was all about the music and the crowd loved it.

    Amazing! Enjoyed every bit of it!

    by Jacob on 9/22/22

    Let me just say I love Pale Waves and was so excited to see them live! They put on a great performance, Heather is so sweet and funny and really knows how to connect with the audience! How many artists do you know will actually converse with the audience as they’re on stage? That was so awesome! Went to see them at the iconic Howard Theatre in Washington, DC on September 18th and I had such a blast!! It was also their drummer, Ciara Doran’s birthday so Heather had the audience sing “Happy Birthday” to them which was such a sweet and fun moment! Can’t wait to see Pale Waves again! They’re amazing!

    Better than veggie tales

    by Theo on 7/10/22

    New favorite band! They were so good! Better than the headliner. I will be seeing them next time they are in the area! If they have 100 fans I’m one if they have 1 fan it’s me and if they have 0 fans I am dead

    Always amazing.

    by Dingoroo on 4/23/19The Parish at House of Blues Anaheim - Anaheim

    Pale Waves is always a good show. The amount of energy and emotion the whole band has when performing is unlike any other band I’ve seen in a long time. I have seen them now three times and they get better each time.

    The venue was an intimate, beautiful venue. Not a bad spot in the place and everyone was close to the artist. Pale Waves never fails to disappoint. They rock hard and put on a great show.
