Pale Waves at Scoot Inn — Tape and Glue Magazine

This October, Pale Waves played the first show of their world tour in Austin, TX at Scoot Inn.

After the release of one of my favorite albums of not only the year, but of all time, My Mind Makes Noises, I was beyond excited to see Pale Waves perform it live.

For my third time seeing them, this would be the first time that I actually knew every song on the setlist (for the first shows they only had a few singles released), and, with it being the first show of the tour, I was eager to see which songs from the album they’d play.

It’s one thing to connect to an album when you’re home alone or driving in the car, but there’s something magical about hearing it live, getting to connect with the artist that put everything that I’ve felt as a 23 year old girl into music was the ultimate catharsis.

My love for lead singer Heather Baron-Gracie is endless, the way she pours her heart into every last second of the show is inspiring, and after getting the chance to talk to her after the show about the album, I am even more in awe of her talent and the way she makes everything seem so effortless (its strange to say I look up to someone who’s literally the same age as me, but it’s true, nonetheless).

Pale Waves have definitely become one of my favorite bands, in fact, I'll be hopping on a plane to LA in December to see them one more time before their tour with The 1975 next year.

If you have a chance, please check this band out, the album, My Mind Makes Noises, is out, and each track is 100% unskippable. (My favorites are : Drive, Noises, One More Time, and Red).
