Phoneboy Bring Rain and Heartbreak Designer to Brighton Music Hall

Saturday, June 7th was a busy night of indie rock at Brighton Music Hall as Phoneboy brought their Heartbreak Designer tour to town. The New Jersey-founded, Brooklyn-based band celebrated their third album and the penultimate show of the first leg of their tour with friends and family in the crowd.

The sold-out event featured two supporting bands prior to Phoneboy: Double Standard and INOHA. First up was the five-piece Double Standard, who made their Boston debut to a large crowd that steadily grew as attendees steamed in from the rainy weather outside. INOHA, the indie rock group hailing from San Antonio, were second on the billing but drew a headliner’s level of enthusiasm from the audience. They delivered an exciting set that had the crowd jumping, and it became apparent that a sizable number were already fans.

The audience at Brighton Music Hall was loud during the opening performances, but it was near deafening when Phoneboy made their presence known. The headliners joked about the way it always seems to rain whenever they play Boston, but spirits were hardly dampened. The resounding enthusiasm from fans in the all-ages crowd was persistent, as Phoneboy blazed through a 20-song setlist that included almost all of their recently-released Heartbreak Designer and an even mix of songs from their first and second albums. They ended their encore with a cover of Lit’s “My Own Worst Enemy,” a throwback almost certainly older than most of the audience that was nevertheless a crowd-pleaser. With that fun, indulgent conclusion, Phoneboy triumphantly hopped off stage to thunderous applause and a rockstar send-off.
