On Sunday, September 17, MisterWives and Bishop Briggs brought their Don’t Look Down co-headlining tour to Roadrunner. The show was a spectacle of bright visuals, empowered performances, and incredible vocals.
Raffaella began the evening with a breezy set of catchy pop that served as a light warm up to MisterWives’ entry to the stage. MisterWives came out swinging with the punchy tracks “Out of Your Mind” and “Dagger” from their latest album Nosebleeds. They delivered a full set featuring nearly all of Nosebleeds in addition to the MisterWives setlist staples “SUPERBLOOM,” “Our Own House,” and “Reflections.” Frontwoman Mandy Lee bounded seemingly effortlessly back and forth across the stage as she gave a performance that belied her ongoing recovery from a cold.
Bishop Briggs finished up the night with a strong set with a bit of a twist. She performed a balanced mix of her older and newer material, all of which was delivered with the impressive power of her vocals. The real show stopper however, was when the power cut to the amplifiers early during “Baggage.” The end result of those technical difficulties however, was an acoustic performance of “The Way I Do” and an impromptu a cappella accompaniment from the audience. While the equipment hiccups were slowly worked out, Bishop Briggs sang a cover of “Never Tear Us Apart.” Once everything was functioning again, the show smoothly resumed and eventually concluded without further incident. Between illness and equipment failures, both MisterWives and Bishop Briggs were faced with challenges that ultimately highlighted their talents and provided a highly memorable experience.
