Their Troubadour show was a much more intimate affair and much more electric than their show at much larger Fonda Theater the night before.
The energy in the sold-out, 400 capacity venue certainly heated the packed house and was something the band wasn't used to. "We're not used to people dancing," lead singer Lauren Mayberry says to the audience. "We're from Britian."
With only a handful of songs, Chvrches consisting of Mayberry, Martin Doherty and Iain Cook, played every song in their arsenal including new songs that's sure to please the hardcore fanbase like the beat/key-centric "Gun" and my favorite, "Night Sky" a tension heavy tune that builds into Mayberry trading vocals like a fighter in the ring.
