CHVRCHES

Although they're from Glasgow, the concert felt like a homecoming of sorts. They were clearly overjoyed to have gotten their star on the side of First Avenue earlier in the day and it really showed by the energy of their performance. This is a band that loves their Minnesota fans!

In 2016 I had Tix to see the band, again as a Coachella bookend show in Tempe. After "eating a cereal bowl of dirt" (there were very high winds that year) Lauren lost her voice and after 2 songs couldn't finish the show. Later, I didn't make it to the rescheduled show because of some broken bones. Last night was a rendezvous years in the making and well worth it. Lauren is bright and funny and the band is amazing live. 💯

A great performance of perfect pop synth songs from the Glasgow band. Half the tracks were from the current Love Is Dead album and the were delivered very well. Graffiti and Graves were crackers as were opener Get Out and closer Never Say Die. Highlight for me was Science and Visions with Clearest Blue and We Sink deserving an honourable mention. The O2 Academy in Bournemouth is a lovely venue, though the more central you stand/sit the better as there is serious restricted view at the sides (particularly in seared area upstairs). A great night out.

The ever-inspiring, fun and talented CHRVCHES did NOT dissapoint. Lauren’s vocals are as strong as ever and the sound and flow of songs is an ear candy to anyone who favors electronic indie and dream pop vibes. Enjoyed the hell out of it and would totally recommend this to everyone who are on the same boat music genre-wise. Also, need go give credit to the warm up girl duo Let’s Eat Grandma. Never knew progressive psychedelic pop existed let alone to be so enjoyable.

Lauren mayberry hat so eine Energie und ich Frage mich wie es möglich ist sich so viel zu drehen und gleichzeitig so glasklar zu singen. Sehr beeindruckend. Besonders bemerkenswert fand ich die Parts von martin doherty die absolut tanzbar waren und sein Tanzstil ist auch einfach nur faszinierend. Leider war die Vorband mau und die Stimmung ist auch nicht so richtig im Publikum angekommen.

Haven’t had so much fun at a concert in a while! And even if the Gasometer isn’t known for the best acoustics on earth it was an amazing sound and just a beautiful evening! like I know chvrches from Linz. Gotta go to the next concerts in Austria to! see y’all
