.girlpool’s final NYC show felt like old friends hanging out.
For the first 30 minutes of Girlpool’s show at Elsewhere on Thursday night, the last show they will play as Girlpool in New York City, Avery Tucker and Harmony Tividad couldn’t hear each other onstage.
“Just so you know, we can’t hear each other onstage,” Harmony eventually explained to a crowd that hung onto her every word, whether she was talking about recently seeing Lea Michele inWhile Elsewhere, a multi-warehouse space in Brooklyn’s Bushwick neighborhood, is said to be a less than ideal venue for performers, I couldn’t help but wonder why they didn’t just fix the sound.
One of the things that makes seeing Girlpool live so special is that they turn up the feelings knob: Their screams are more guttural, their notes are held for longer, and Avery especially loves to play a guitar so hard they knock it out of tune. “Alright Harmy,” Avery said. “You can hear me now. It’s you and me. Just us,” prompting an audible “aww” from the audience.They whisper things to each other, they press their foreheads together, guitars nearly kissing, they tell stories about going to parties at the Chainsmokers house, or the Coca-Cola factory. At Thursday’s show, Avery had a rant about the kids meals at Quiznos. “It’s like a podcast,” my plus-one whispered to me. “They love to gab,” I told her.
