PinkPantheress review
From the look of the crowd at PinkPantheress’s show in Brooklyn last night, you’d be forgiven for thinking that King Charles had extended his recent trip to New York. The crowd that snaked its way through a never-ending circuit of cracked asphalt and grimy water on their way to Brooklyn Storehouse wore union jacks and tartan miniskirts, which you could imagine would be in line with royal protocol for how to dress when a sovereign visits a warehouse rave.
TL;DR
- PinkPantheress's show in Brooklyn attracted a crowd dressed in British-themed attire, suggesting her status among a young, online demographic.
- The artist is positioned as a figurehead for a movement of musicians embracing adventurous sounds, achieving critical acclaim and chart success.
- Supporting acts Underscores and The Dare delivered strong performances, with The Dare previewing a collaboration with Charli XCX.
- PinkPantheress is recognized for her self-inventive persona and ability to subvert traditional pop stardom expectations.
- Her performance featured a mix of well-known tracks and lesser-known songs, all received enthusiastically by the audience.
- The artist's partnership with DJ Joe and her backing band, particularly drummer Blake Cascoe, were noted for their musical prowess.
