The Warfield

Though most bands place the drum set in the back, Rattigan’s position front and center called attention to the Surf Curse’s raw percussive energy.

The 26-year-old Bay Area local mastered such a whimsical vibrancy that she almost seemed like a caricature of herself.

With the sun sinking on the horizon, almost monday arrived in San Francisco and did what any boy band from the beach would do: uncork the fizzy sound of summer and douse The Warfield in bliss.

Wallows prove that sweater vests and pensive cogitation make for a cathartic release of pent-up vexation.

Stopping in San Francisco’s The Warfield on April 13, Apollo’s performance encapsulated a kaleidoscopic experience. Strutting between polarities of dizzying fervor and poignant yearning, evocative strength bloomed in the artist’s resonant voice and swaying figure. 

Well worth the two-year wait, the future of the Sawayama enterprise is even brighter than it was in 2020.

Doused in vibrant watercolor lights, Still Woozy transformed The Warfield into a punch-drunk ode to summer — the kind of balmy respite swollen from sap and liquid smooth. 

The artist’s March 5 stint at The Warfield delivered an engrossing set of non-stop infectious house music paired with impeccable stage design.
