Sunday (1994) is a talented trio consisting of vocalist Paige Turner, guitarist Lee Newell, and drummer Puma. Their music has been described as dreamy, nostalgic, and whimsical alt-pop. Despite being formed only a year ago, Sunday (1994) has quickly gained popularity and recently kicked off their debut tour in San Francisco, promoting their self-titled LP ‘Sunday (1994)’ at the intimate Rickshaw Stop venue. As a fan of live music, I particularly enjoy shows at the Rickshaw Stop because of its small and personal atmosphere. It was the perfect setting to experience Sunday (1994) for the first time. The anticipation for the show was evident as fans lined up early to secure their spot and the wait was worth it.
All three performers delivered an outstanding performance, making it one of the best shows I have seen this year. Sunday (1994) brought a contagious energy to the stage, igniting the already excited crowd. Lead singer Paige Turner engaged with the audience throughout the show, encouraging them to sing along to their songs and sing they did. The band also treated the audience to a few new, unreleased songs. Lee Newell’s guitar skills were electrifying and a joy to watch up close. It was clear that the band was firing on all cylinders on the first day of their tour, and I felt lucky to have witnessed it.
Alisa Xayalith is a New Zealand musician, best known as the lead vocalist, guitarist, and keyboard player for the indie electronic band The Naked and Famous. She has recently embarked on a solo career and her debut album ‘Slow Crush’ was released in April. Alisa’s vocals are delicate and soothing, perfectly complementing her catchy indie dreamy pop hooks.
Her performance on Thursday night was a significant milestone for her, as it was her first time performing live as a solo artist. Alisa delivered a subtle and intimate performance that I thoroughly enjoyed. She concluded her set with her latest hit single ‘Kiss Me Like You’re So In Love’, which I was eagerly anticipating.
Khatumu is a music artist based in Los Angeles, California. Freshly graduated from Yale University, Khatumu creates electrified, alternative folk music. Her lyrics often delve into the complexities of relationships, the pain of heartbreak, and explores themes of leaving behind comfort and finding meaning on her own terms. Kicking off the night was Khatumu, performing solo with her acoustic guitar. Though it was just Khatumu on the stage, her voice and sound fill the room. She gave a very good performance and treating the audience to a funny joke to break the ice and get things rolling.
