RIYL: Melanie Martinez, Sophie Powers, Slayyyter Last week Ashnikko put on the most incredible and lively performance in Vancouver, British Columbia. Her and her dancers brought the energy to the stage, and the crowd had reciprocated the same. The entire crowd was feeding off of that energy, and were dancing the whole night. When Ashnikko took the stage, the crowds arose with cheers and screams of excitement. She began her set with “Sticky Fingers” from her most current album

RIYL: Remi Wolf, mxmtoon, Still Woozy I walked into the BENEE show not knowing what to expect and I left that show having had some of the most fun I've had at a show this year. Openers are always hit or miss for me, as sometimes they don't feel like they mesh with the vibe of the artist or the fanbase but BENEE's opener, Bayli was perfect. She captured the crowd quickly with her sassy image and catchy lyrics. It was so much fun to watch her work the stage and participate wit

I was a casual Conan fan at the release of Wishbone and going into this show.

This was one of my favorite concerts because I got to meet up with all of my internet best friends that I met through this band! We’ve been all been friends for 5+ years and got to attend the bands sold out show at their big hometown venue Madison Square Garden!
