On Saturday 4/20, Brighton Music Hall hosted the one-two punch of World’s First Cinema and Taylor Acorn. The sold-out Boston stop was one of just a few east coast gigs on Taylor Acorn’s headlining Australia/US Good Enough Tour.
World’s First Cinema, joining the tour for the entire US run of shows, started strong and never let up. With a flourish of violin and swaggering use of the stage space, the band delivered on the promise of a certain theatricality suggested by their name. With the audience primed, Taylor Acorn followed through with her own set to match. Early into her performance she admitted to dealing with some health issues, but she battled through and delivered an impressively unrestrained showing with enthusiastic support from the crowd. She delighted at the sold-out venue, recalling her time opening a 4-band billing there merely 2 years prior. Taylor Acorn’s Boston fan base seems bound to continue growing, as she and her band will return in the fall in support of Dashboard Confessional.
