Last week, Bully made their long awaited return to the Boston area, bringing the Sugaregg Tour to Brighton Music Hall. They were joined by Graham Hunt Band, who kicked off the night with a punchy 30-minute set. Making the most of their time, the Wisconsin four piece played nearly nonstop, only pausing momentarily to sheepily introduce themselves. And the moment the last note was played, the band began grabbing their gear and breaking it down with machine-like efficiency.

With the stage cleared and ready to go, Bully wasted no time, walking on and launching into Sugaregg’s opening track “Add It On.” Released back in 2020 as a solo project by singer and frontwoman Alicia Bognanno, Sugaregg marked a fresh start for the band. But if anyone was concerned how these changes would affect Bully’s live performance, their worries immediately melted away, as the band sounded bigger and better than ever.

In addition to new tracks, fans were treated to songs spanning Bully’s entire discography, including “Feel the Same” from 2017’s Losing and heavy-hitters “Trash” and “I Remember” from their debut album, Feels Like. After a raucous performance of “Milkman,” the band dropped their instruments and walked off stage before returning for a two song encore. Leaving her guitar untouched, Bognanno grabbed the mic for a cover of Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You” followed by a venomous cover of Mclusky’s “Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues.”
