This June, Chase Atlantic brought their Phases tour to Emo’s in Austin, TX

I saw Chase Atlantic for the first time at Emo’s at the end of 2017 when they opened for Lights, so when they brought their headlining tour back there I couldn't believe how much they’d grown in such a short amount of time.

Despite having a venue change due to bad weather (the story for almost every outdoor show in Austin as of late), fans showed up in droves for Chase Atlantic’s latest headlining tour.

To open the show, Lauren Sanderson completely elevated the energy and had everyone excited and ready for the evening. I loved every second of her set, she was the perfect choice for an opener.

I thought I knew what to expect going into my 6th Chase Atlantic show, but I was completely taken aback by how much they’ve changed since I saw them last at the end of last year. Their confidence had grown exponentially, they dominated the stage and were so comfortable with every aspect of the show. Something in them switched, they were good before, but are full-blown rockstars now.

With a full stage production and a brand new album to go off of, the Chase Atlantic guys were totally in their element. Everything Chase Atlantic is exaggerated, one hundred percent over-the-top and so high-energy that you feel exhausted just watching their performance.

Personally, as someone who’s been a fan for a while, their latest album didn’t excite me as much as the previous one, however, after seeing it performed live, everything came together, this album is definitely made for a live performance.

I’ve seen Chase Atlantic play rooms of all sizes and it’s very clear that these guys are meant to play to a large crowd , their stage presence and production demands an audience and will no doubt only get bigger and better.
