New York rock trio Hello Mary tell us about their hometown show and their new music. See our photos from Bowery Ballroom in NYC.
It’s been a big year for Hello Mary, who are in the middle of a long North American tour in support of“We’ve been touring really relentlessly,” Wave says. “I think by the end of this tour we’ll have played 95 shows this year.”Oppenheimer, who’s currently an undergrad at Bard College, does some homework backstage before the show.
Playing Bowery Ballroom was a big deal for the trio of native New Yorkers. “We’re very excited about it,” Wave says. “We’ve played there as an opener a couple times, but headlining it feels really crazy.” They’ve spent much of the year opening for bands including Silversun Pickups and American Football. Now, they’re at the top of the bill. “As an opening act, you know that whatever you do, it’ll probably be fine,” says Wave . “But for the headline shows, it’s like, ‘Oh shit.
The new album features an expanded instrumental palette, including more keyboards, vibraphone and percussion accents, and an upright bass on several songs. “There’s definitely a different mood on this album,” Wave says. “It’s darker and more subtle.”They open their set with “Float,” which is also the first song on. It’s one of several songs from this album that feature intricate finger-picking from Straight , dreamy harmonies from her and Wave, and a feral, thrashing ending.
“I think we’ve done encores before, but only when it’s like, genuinely, we were not planning that,” adds Oppenheimer .Afterward, everyone’s in a great mood. “I always feel amazing, regardless of the set,” Straight says. “Actually, if the set is bad, I’m like, ‘Fuck’ — but I’m glad I’m offstage. And if the set is good, I’m like, ‘Hell yes, let’s fucking celebrate.
