Warpaint

Warpaint are an incredible band, and they put on a very impressive live performance. You can tell that they spend a lot of time jamming and improving songs they have already written, which makes for an exciting show. You never know what to expect from each song, they spice it up differently every time. They all seem very relaxed and into it. Jenny, Emily, and Theresa all have a special (yet very awkward) dance they do while they play; it's very charming. Stella is mind blowing... She carries the band. The best part of the performance is the jam they usually do at the end of the set. They have such a powerful connection as musicians. Its magical-funky-psychedelic. One criticism I would have is that Theresa Wayman seems to put her guitar down way too much for all the tracks from the latest album. Her voice is a little pitchy, so I would have preferred to hear her on lead guitar and have Emily sing, like they did for more of their older tracks. Emily's voice is really on point (I'm pretty sure Jenny Lee's mic wasn't even on...). I also found it strange that Wayman was in a spotlight for the whole performance. She was wearing a bellyshirt, and it didn't have the same vibe as any of the live performances from a few years ago that I had watched online. Kinda strange.
