Success might be cringe, but Cheekface has to accept that they hit a sold out Brighton Music Hall on Thursday, playing a setlist with several standouts from their 2024 album, “It’s Sorted”. The crowd cheered, line danced, and sang along to “The Fringe” and “I am Continuing to Do My Thing”, along with earlier hits like “We need a Bigger Dumpster”. For those less familiar, the band honestly sounds like a mixture of Cake and the Front Bottoms, with some They Might Be Giants sprinkled on top, a vibe that very much blends with the current craving for 00s nostalgia. It’s very hard to write a compelling song about “finding your social security number on the dark web” and yet, they do it! Their irreverent lyrics and charismatic stage presence leaves a serious craving for more, and hopefully they tour again soon. The band was supported by yungatita.
