CONCERT REVIEW: BOYGENIUS W/ CARLY RAE JEPSEN AND ILLUMINATI HOTTIES AT PNE AMPHITHEATRE - JULY 28, 2023

In 1964, The Beatles played at the PNE fairgrounds to a screaming, euphoric crowd. Nearly 60 years later, it’s time for Paul and John to move over. Lucy Dacus, Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker – collectively known as boygenius – brought a show to the PNE Amphitheatre for the new generation. The crowd, artists, and overall atmosphere had an energy that The Beatles could only wish for in the modern age. Enthusiasm, creative outfits, and cheers aplenty filled the air all evening long. This night truly demonstrated “boygeniusmania.”

Opening the evening were illuminati hotties. The LA-based quartet is fronted by audio engineer and producer Sarah Tudzin, who worked on boygenius’ debut album The Record. Their set was short and sweet, bringing a lot of punk energy to warm the crowd up. “It’s good to be up here, Vancouver. I love it,” Sarah told us halfway through. “Tim Horton, watch out, wherever you are. This is a brand new song, it’s called Truck.” With that, they launched into their latest single with rather biting, sarcastic lyrics, released just last week.

The group has a captivating stage presence. They give the feeling of a close-up set in an intimate DIY venue, while playing to a crowd of thousands. I appreciate their music type – a mix of indie folk and straight punk. It’s rapid with a stripped-down feel, but also loud and hard enough to grab your attention (they self-describe it as “tenderpunk”). The set was full of soft and smooth licks with bitter lyrics and expressive, diverse vocals. More than one member took turns on the mic, the singing ranging from sad and sympathetic to angry and fierce. They really hyped us up early on, and were a perfect complement to the musical style of boygenius.

“I could use your help on this next one,” Sarah asked. “But I’ll teach it to you in case you don’t know it.” She launched into a rendition of “freequent letdown” with a pessimistic (and punk) vibe. (“I’m always letting everyone down, I’m always letting everyone know I’m down.”) The crowd was into it, and we all sang along to the chorus. By the end of their set, illuminati hotties had gotten the crowd cheering and moving, pumped for what was to come.

This was a special night for Mission’s own Carly Rae Jepsen. In addition to being a hometown show, it was an album release party. Carly’s latest, The Loveliest Time, had just been released that day. As a longtime Carly fan, I was curious as to what the setlist would look like. How many brand new songs? How much old material? In the end she played four tracks from the new record, including the lead single “Shy Boy.” I was happy to hear “All That” – a slightly deep cut from 2015’s E•MO•TION.

Carly is best known for her dance pop style. However, many of the songs she played were on the slower, mellow side. Her soft, smooth voice introduced “Western Wind” as “a song I wrote in California about missing home in Canada,” naturally leading to applause. Then the tempo switched – “Time to turn it up!” Carly exclaimed, launching into “Psychedelic Switch.” This was my personal favourite of the new album songs. It was even named Best New Track by Pitchfork this week. I’m glad it made its way into the set.

About halfway through came Carly’s signature song. One of the most successful singles of all time, the entire crowd was jumping and singing along to that 2012 classic, “Call Me Maybe.” She went into the audience near the front for this one. Many phones were out to capture the moment. The energy was palpable, and kept going for the catchy and repetitive “I Really Like You.” This was a double punch (“just to send the message home”) paired with “Want You in My Room.” We were near the end now and the high energy songs had taken over. The big finale was “Cut to the Feeling” – a summer single released between albums that ended up being the most danced to of her whole set. There’s something special and extra fun about that one, particularly on a sunny Friday evening.

Carly was joined by backup dancers and a full band, her dancers really enhancing the choreography. As a trio they synced, they waved, and they really made a flash on stage. I’ve seen Carly in the past and was a little disappointed she didn’t have more banter with the audience—I’m not even sure she mentioned her new album. There were no outfit changes or flag waving or anything like that, though I understand time was a factor. Similarly, I was surprised she didn’t do an encore.

As boygenius took the stage (to the classic anthem “The Boys Are Back In Town”), the crowd could probably be heard from the next town over. We got to see them perform “Without You Without Them” on camera backstage before making their way to our viewpoint—a cool gimmick that only built hype further.

“What universe is this?” Phoebe asked us. “It doesn’t make sense we saw Carly Rae Jepsen and then played after her. And Sarah from illuminati hotties helped make the record!” It was clear the headliners were just as thrilled about the talented lineup as the audience was. In addition to great music, the trio brought a lot of passion and genuineness to their set. They have a lot of fun performing and a special bond as friends and coworkers captured in their music and live set. You can’t fake that kind of synergy and talent. It translates to a great show and a feeling of beauty beyond words.

The group only has one album and an EP so far, and the setlist consisted of almost all their material. It was a mixture of slow and fast throughout. Each of the three ladies have their own unique style, whether playing soothing violin or shredding a guitar hard. And they come together to create something even better than the sum of their parts. It was a unique, amazing experience seeing all this camaraderie live. Their music and live show goes beyond words, better in person than studio.

I was curious as to if we’d hear any solo tracks from the artists. Indeed, Lucy, Julien, and Phoebe each performed one of their own songs in succession towards the end. “Who likes boyfriends? We do… How many boyfriends here are feeling scared right now?” Phoebe quipped before the group launched into a song about boyfriends with the same name.

We were politely instructed to put our phones away close to the end “just for this one song,” and the whole crowd obliged. It was simply vibing and a present, tech-free existence for the somber “Letter to an Old Poet.” The final track of the set was “Not Strong Enough,” one of their most popular songs that everyone sung along to. I’ve rarely seen a crowd so engrossed in a chorus, singing of being always an angel and never a god.

“This is the best crowd in the world,” Phoebe told us to finish. “This doesn’t feel real. Thank you for being here.” It’s funny, as I and most of the audience could have said the same thing to Phoebe and her cohorts. It was surreal.

These ladies are leading the scene, packing a house and just killing it on stage. Although their gender and identity is closely associated with their image, the members of boygenius have resented being individually labeled “women in rock.” Female is not a genre, and the band’s formation came from the three being personal friends with each other rather than competition. This was demonstrated in abundance Friday night and boygenius is a band that I’d bet against any touring group today. This night proved that rock is back, bigger and better than ever.

i know this episode is dumb filler but:

and what pisses me off is that we could've had THIS with him and moroha. we could've had him helping her train, taking care of her when she's ill, and just...being the father figure he wished he could've had in his life. there's this repeating theme of him seeing himself in other youkai children and taking care of them, or at least emphasizing with them. he relates. he gets it. he doesn't want them suffering the way he did. and yashahime was like "hm...what if...amazing idea incoming...he didn't get to raise his daughter? lol."

#why. why do this.#oh right money #lovely incentive to destroy the established themes and characters from the og series #the more i think about this the more angry i get #moroha deserved to be raised by her parents and they deserved to raise her and they deserved to all be happy #what is this bullshit sunrise #anti yashahime #yashahime #inuyasha #inuyasha anime #moroha #yashahime princess half demon #moroha yashahime #inuyasha a feudal fairy tale

“THEY’RE PRETTY BUT…”

based off that one trend where it’s like “blah blah is pretty but blahblahblah is pretty like (insert something here)

a/n: i think this is really cute so i hope you like! i’ll do more characters if i can think of them ☆

includes katniss, peeta, johanna, and finnick

the hunger games characters are pretty, but…

katniss is pretty like fog over lakes

peeta is pretty like golden evenings

finnick is pretty like secret coves

johanna is pretty like fireworks
