The Regrettes in Concert
The Regrettes vocalist/guitarist Lydia Night isn't one to mince words. On her band's breakout tune, the girl-group-meets-garage-rock rave-up "A Living Human Girl," the outspoken feminist details physical flaws and personal shortcomings, but asserts her right to "dress how I want" and embrace imperfection: "Sometimes I'm pretty, and sometimes I'm not." At other moments, Night's righteous anger is inspiring: The grungy rocker "Come Through," the first track from 2018's ‘Attention Seeker' EP, lays out, in no uncertain terms, that she is ready to eject toxic people from her life.
Such brutally honest vulnerability has helped Los Angeles-based the Regrettes (and Night herself) become role models to legions of teens. But the group's 2017 major-label debut, ‘Feel Your Feelings, Fool!,' has wide appeal thanks to a kinetic punk foundation spliced with nods to girl groups, New Wave, '50s rock 'n' roll, and the Smiths. Newer tunes released since then are yet more sophisticated: the jubilant, pogo-punk ripper "Helpless" boasts Cali-pop beachy harmonies and shredding guitars, while the driving "California Friends" brings to mind Joan Jett.
Incredibly enough, Night accomplished all this before being old enough to vote. She spent her early years singing Ramones songs while visiting her dad's New Orleans nightclub, and was inspired to start playing guitar after seeing a Donnas concert — at age five. Thankfully, her parents encouraged her aptitude: Night attended a California-area School of Rock and met other kindred spirits, which led to The Regrettes' formation in 2015.
Unsurprisingly, the Regrettes are energetic and mesmerizing live — the worthy descendents of '90s riot grrrls. Night high-kicks and dances around the stage, and encourages crowds to let their hair down and roar along with her. It's no wonder the Regrettes have toured with fellow rabble-rousers the Interrupters and Tacocat, and spent summer 2018 making the festival rounds at Coachella, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, and Lollapalooza. With an endless stream of new music— and a spot on Alt Nation's Advanced Placement Tour 2018 with Welles and Micky James also locked down — the Regrettes are just getting started.
Hala, Greer, and the Regrettes all were amazing performers and I had so much fun at the concert. Lydia cares don’t much about her fans and wants everyone to be safe. Easily one of the best concerts I’ve been to and I would recommend seeing them to anyone.
It was a lot of fun. The band had a lot of energy. Great vibes!
Nice venue. Good seats. I could hear and see the band perfectly.
i met the opening band after the concert and they were such amazing people and the music was great and i cherish that day and i will continue to cherish it forever
Regrettes are awesome live. I never miss a chance to see them.
Awesome concert in a cool venue the Regrettes put on a great show
I got into the venue quick and easy. There was room to move around but also an awesome crowd. The bathrooms were clean and the staff were friendly and helpful! There was free water provided which came in handy after the show! Thank you for the experience!
I love going to concerts at the Masquerade. It's a wonderful intimate experience. Every seat is a good seat as the saying goes (there are no seats). The acoustics and production quality are always great. We can also often meet the musicians afterwards. The Regrettes are such an amazing band. Their music is energetic are positively infectious. Every single song is jaw dropping. Lydia has such a strong stage presence, both vocally and physically. She gives a performance you would expect to see from headliners at a major music festival. I'm hooked.
One of the best concerts I have ever been to...both of the openers were fantastic and easily could have been headliners themselves and The Regrettes themselves had been one of the most energetic engaging acts I’ve seen so far. An all around phenomenal experience.
Awesome concert! Took daughter & friends for her 16th Birthday.
it was a sellout show that was limited to only the bottom floor. Very crowded and not comfortable
IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO CATCH THE REGRETTES - DO IT!! THEIR ULTRA HIGH ENERGY ROCK PERFORMANCE IS A MUST SEE. I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SHOW FROM START TO FINISH. THE VERY FRIENDLY BAND MEMBERS EVEN STUCK AROUND AFTERWARDS FOR AUTOGRAPHS & PICTURES.
