Grimes’ concert at the Hard Rock Cafe was a riot. She played most of the songs on Visions, and even if she only played eight songs over a set that lasted less than an hour, the energy was out of this world. She opened the set with Symphonia IX and the crowd got wilder as she progressed, singing Circumambient, Nightmusic, and Be A Body. When she performed Oblivion, everybody cheered and went crazy. By the time she closed with Phone Sex, I was already part of my friends’ mosh pit and dancing along with the crowd.
I’m glad to say that Grimes feels the same way about us. The day after her show, she tweeted “manila was out of this world i will absolutely come back to manila and i suggest to everybody else that they go to manila one day. ”
Grimes’ concert in Manila was brought to us by Kind Assault, the team that brought Stars, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, and Toro Y Moi. So when In Manila and you want to catch your favorite indie acts, there’s no other team to look for but Kind Assault!
