It was such a great feeling seeing CHVRCHES again. The night was filled was a new sense of excitement as we finally get the chance to hear the Screen Violence album live as well as their classic past. Lauren Mayberry made some of the best small talk jokes that we heard since the concert season started. With jokes hinting at how the pandemic ruin sayings/words “That’s sick, oh no you can’t say that.” Of course, she had to mention her height but we did our best to not show it in the photos. The LED panels narrated the night with a big emphasis on the song “How Not To Drown”. She did a quick change right after that into a leather dress for the rest of the show. If you get the chance, check out their latest show, tour dates provide alongside this.
Screen Violence was originally conceived as a name for the band. A decade later, and during a pandemic when the reality of screen violence has never been more pertinent, struggling to make the people you love feel more than the characters on a TV show, and experiencing a world of trauma as if it were another, CHVRCHES revived the term for their forthcoming album title. Narrating the theme of screen violence in three main forms - on-screen, by screens and through screens - the album touches on feelings of loneliness, disillusionment, fear, heartbreak, and regret. Screen Violence was recorded almost entirely remotely between Los Angeles and Glasgow where members Lauren Mayberry, Martin Doherty, and Iain Cook self-produced and mixed the album via video calls and audio sharing programs to create something that is unique and special but inherently CHVRCHES. The making of Screen Violence also marked a decade together for the band - a decade whose sound they have helped to create and define from their 2013 breakthrough The Bones of What You Believe and 2015’s Every Open Eye, to their most recent 2018’s Love is Dead.

Opener: Donna Missal
Donna was an interesting surprise to us, we really enjoyed the late nineties pop vibe we’re getting from her set. As one guy mentioned in the audience “She looks like the Fifth element girl”. Donna did give off Milla Jovovich's attitude. She played an unreleased song called butterfly which was eerily similar to Gansta from Kahani. It wasn’t until we heard sex is good that we recognized her from a TikTok trend a few months back.
