Dream Wife

I got to see Dream Wife for the first time yesterday, and I can honestly say they were one of the absolute best live bands I have ever seen/heard. Just getting to scream and sing along as much as you want to powerful and angry music is the best feeling in the world. Dream Wife is also a very special feeling, as a woman I felt very safe at the show, especially since Rakel Mjöll kept praising all us women, all us Bad Bitches, and channeling Kathleen Hanna's "girls to the front" movement. Absolutely outstanding. The energy the three of them bring to the stage makes it impossible to stop smiling throughout the gig. Alice's amaZING guitar riffs leaving not one second boring.

The venue was quite odd, it was at a bar which has steps/ledges towards the stage, so the audience at the front has to sit down infront of the stage. Which I can assure you was a pretty surreal experience. There were also bar tables on top of the ledges right in front of the stage, and Rakel, Alice and Bella did not let that go to waste, climbing on top of them, practically standing and leaning over me. Amazing use of the unfamiliar space.

After the last song Rakel stated that they would be standing by the merch-booth and told us to come say hi since they wanted to get to know us. They were all really kind and happy to sign stuff. And when I showed them my leather jacket that i had painted their logo onto the back of, they all screamed and gave me hugs. Which was awesome, we took a photograph together as well (which is on their instagram page!) and basically it was a night I will never forget. Amazing music, amazing atmosphere, amazing people. You will not regret going to a Dream Wife show!!!

Dream wife at Concorde2 in Brighton 30th October 2018.
What a fantastic evening which started with a local two piece called Arxx which rocked the room with a great short set.
Queen Zee then hit the stage and performed a good set which warmed up the audience even more.
The venue was sold out and it was packed as Dream wife run onto the stage. With the talented Pavs and Bella creating the beat and Punk rock rhythm for Alice to create some of the most unforgettable riffs and edgy tunes. You can just see how much she loves playing that guitar, and I am not sure there is a better female guitarist around. Believe me when i say this band are talented and with the too long awaited first album being released in 2018, 2019 will be another massive year for them.
Rakel is the ultimate front person and engages with the audience throughout the set. You just cannot take your eyes away from the stage. Blasting out the fantastic "Somebody" with it's superb message to the hits of "FUU" "Fire" and "Love without reason". The audience rocked and all became bad bitches by the end of the set. The band returned for an encore playing " Hey! Heartbreaker" which is my favourite song.
Buy the album and enjoy it but make sure you see them live as it is something you will never forget. At the end of the evening while buying some Merch, Rekal kindly shook my hand. It was also good to see them at the side of the crowd watching the support bands before their own set. Respect. I liked this band but now love them since I have seen them live. Long live you bad bitches!

I am a mature concert goer...with a young mind. Dream Wife were absolutely phenomenal at Stereo...totally engaged with the fans...above and beyond. The lead singer is über charismatic and a great singer. The two guitarists are so cool and add an energy I have only seen or felt at concerts I went to in the 80’s...one of them has a young Hazel O’Conner look...and rocks it. They were so good to their young fans (who were ecstatic). The music is so fresh and different...I have to say that this was an absolutely fantastic gig...At my age I have seen over 200 bands...many who are regarded as’Icons’...Have to say that this gig is in my top 5. Please go and see this band. They are a tonic when a lot of music is basically boring and scared to be different. Dream Wife are so not scared to be different...and they have talent in abundance...I rest my reviewing case...

Absolutely Awesome : if you like your band to play Pop with a Punky edge this is the band to go and see. They may not have been going for long and have a limited Catalog but so far every song is a winner. They really seem to be enjoying what they are doing which helps you to enjoy the show.

The whole evening bounced along with pace and energy. The guitar riffs are still ringing through my head, the bass lines flowing back and forth held together with driving percussion. All in support of staccato singing. Superb.

Favorite band at SXSW this year. Saw them twice, at BBC venue and Maggie Mae bar.

I go to lots of concerts every year, highly, highly recommend their music and live show.

Buzzing after yet another great show from the band. Definitely becoming more slick as each show goes by. they really know how to work the crowd and get everyone jumping.

It was a really awesome time! great energy and the band sounded so true to their recordings! it is worth a see. The venue was historic and had a great vibe!
