For fans of King Krule this show had been a long time coming. Originally slated to perform in April of 2020, the artist was forced to postpone because of COVID-19 precautions. Now, in 2023, King Krule makes his Boston return in celebration of his new album, Space Heavy.

The night opened with a set from Jerkcurb. The guitarist and vocalist took the stage alone with an SP-404 acting as his backing band. Those in attendance at the house of blues were treated to an intimate set that segued nicely into King Krule’s headlining performance. 

Playing for roughly an hour and a half, King Krule’s discography spanning set had something for any longtime listeners. The songwriter and his band played tracks like 6 Feet Beneath The Moon’s “Easy Easy”, The OOZ’s “Dum Surfer”, or the more recent, “If Only It Was Warmth.” Each live rendition brought with it a unique energy, setting it apart from the recordings. The night ended with the band returning to stage for an encore performance of “Out Getting Ribs,” which felt like a perfect way to close things out.
