It’s a rare delight when artists and audiences can meet one another in the middle and match energy, and Laus’ sincerity and stage presence made for a uniquely meaningful performance.

Allison’s love and appreciation for her fellow tour buddies shined through the stage’s brightly colored lights, setting a heartfelt and community-oriented ambiance for the rest of the show.

But apart from the love from its fans, Ceremony highlighted its musical chops with Farrar’s singing and Anzaldo’s multi-instrumental talent.

When all was said and done, Pinegrove truly left a reminder to always find the extraordinary in the normal — and to never miss a moment of life.

Delivering an energetic and chaotic show to its dedicated fans, the band appropriately kicked off its tour in San Francisco with a sold-out show.

DIIV is undoubtedly bringing back shoegaze, complete with barely audible and drowned-out vocals.

Ending the concert on a high note, Michaels exited the stage with the audience feeling good about themselves and the show they had just witnessed.

Lush, warm and soulful (like that same good old bowl of mac and cheese), the Paper Kites’ stop at The Fillmore was a gentle reminder to take a breath.
