The band’s massive live show uses no LEDs, goes all-in on visuals, and feels “like a punch in the face.”
During boygenius’ performance of “Bite The Hand” at their recently sold-out Madison Square Garden show, the stage cameras that had been diligently following the three musicians on stage suddenly swung away and pointed their lens at the audience. In black and white, a sea of ecstatic, tear-stained faces filled the arena’s jumbo screen. Some were crying, all were singing — screaming — every word in unison looking equal parts shocked, surprised, and beaming with joy.
Boygenius’ “the tour,” which is one show away from wrapping its 2023 schedule, has become a certified sensation due to moments like “Bite The Hand” and more that continue to highlight the trio’s unmatched dynamic as friends and acclaimed musicians.
A massive part of the boygenius’ “the tour” show is built around live documentary-like footage. The show begins off-stage, a single camcorder looking on as the boys perform “Without You Without Them” a capella in the wings of the venue. When they finally run on the stage, it’s against a backdrop of themselves magnified tenfold on the screen, their three digital likenesses overlapping, interacting, and melding into one another.
“That idea came about because generally when you listen to it, Julien sings the verse, then she sings the chorus, then Lucy sings the next verse, and then Julien and Lucy sing the chorus together, and then Phoebe sings the next verse, and then Phoebe, Lucy and Julien all sing the chorus together. So you've got that element of each time they sing a verse, they're adding one, adding one, adding one,” Bronski says about that specific effect.
