wolf alice at emos

My first time seeing Wolf Alice was nothing short of magical.

I had heard so many great things about Wolf Alice, but hadn’t really ever listened to their music before, so I was going into their show at Emo’s totally blind. Starting their set with Smile, they set me up for a night that I’ll never forget. Immediately I fell in love, lead singer Ellie Rowsell’s performance is next-level spectacular, her presence is so confident and commanding that you have no choice but to give her your undying attention. Even with the star power of lead singer Ellie, the other members of the band hold their own, they almost demand the same amount of attention, especially bass player Theo (who was performing extra hard because it was his birthday show, and who doesn’t want to show out on their birthday!)

My favorite songs from the set were Formidable Cool, Silk, and their last song Don’t Delete the Kisses, all of which have become staples in my playlists. Wolf Alice’s fans are a huge part of the show as well, their energy was electric, they danced and sang along to every song and even started a small mosh pit towards the end! I met so many amazing people that night, each with their own stories and favorite memories of their favorite band.

I may have gone into this show with zero knowledge of Wolf Alice, but I one-hundred percent left a mega fan, hopefully they’ll make a return to Austin soon, I know I’ll be there.
