A cold March Monday in Boston might’ve kept some of the throngs away to hear Matt Berninger’s solo tour hit the Royale. For the dedicated, however, it just made the vibe that much more intimate. It was a classic display for the performer and lyricist, better known as frontman of dad rockers the National: Berninger danced, hung his head and crooned while the crowd screamed along. He focused on material off his latest album, Get Sunk, with “Frozen Oranges” and “Breaking Into Acting” opening up the night. He joined the crowd behind the barricade for “Bonnet of Pins”, causing many a boyfriend in the audience to cry (IYKYK). He also mixed in several songs from Serpentine Prison, including “Silver Springs” and “Distant Axis”. Covers of National songs and even a New Order track rounded out the night. He was supported ahead of his set and during by RONBOY.
