For a band barely over one years old, and with only one album so far, 
the turn out was impressive for their show at Venue last Thursday night. Maybe it is because Pitchfork named their popular track Go Outside as best new music. Maybe it’s because Madeline Follin was beyond cute, with her baby-sweet singing voice, baby-doll dress, or baby-pinching cheeks. What ever the reason, there was an amplitude of excited fans excited to see them play live.
Although the set was a short 45 minutes, they did not disappoint the excited crowd. As the band played, they swayed and bobbed their long mains to the music. The fans blissfully bounced around in giddy response.
There may have been sound issues, since Follin’s vox sounded pitchy at times and difficult to distinguish, but she clearly sung out with heart and energy that made it easy to get involved in. The performance was above the bands years and will only get better with more time.
Also, counter-intuitive to the band’s name, it was probably the friendliest fanbase I have ever encountered as a photog (next to YACHT). They were all smiles and encouragement as I moved around to take the pics. Thanks Cults fans:)
