Jessie Murph at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver
On September 22, Jessie Murph brought her Worldwide Hysteria Tour to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, and the night was anything but quiet. Rising from behind a giant round podium dressed in a yellow two-piece with a flowing cape, Murph set the tone instantly. With male dancers flanking her and a tight live band backing her, she launched into a fierce opening trio of “Gucci Mane,” “1965,” and “Touch Me Like a Gangster,” all from her breakout 2025 album Sex Hysteria.
The crowd did more than just sing along, they screamed every lyric back at her. The devotion on display seemed to fuel Murph, who flashed wide grins between verses and leaned into her mix of swagger and vulnerability. Her stage presence carries the same contradictions as her music: sweet on the surface, raw and unfiltered at the core.
The night also held a special surprise: it happened to be Murph’s 21st birthday. Midway through the set, her crew rolled out a cake and led the audience in a massive singalong of “Happy Birthday,” a moment that had Murph laughing and tearing up before jumping back into the performance. It was a reminder that while her songs often explore heavy emotions, she’s still at the start of a career with milestones ahead.
At only 21, Murph has already carved out a space where hip hop cadence, country twang, and bluesy grit collide. Sex Hysteria dives into messy, intoxicating love, and hearing those words echoed by hundreds of fans was striking.
Murph’s rise has been fast, from TikTok covers in 2021 to charting singles like “Always Been You,” “Pray,” and most recently “Blue Strips.” With sold-out shows and record-setting crowds already under her belt, it’s hard not to imagine her leaping from theatres to arenas on her next run. In Vancouver, she proved she’s ready for it.

The Dreggs close off “Heading Home Tour” in Perth!
Australian duo – The Dreggs – brought their Heading Home Tour to a close with a sold-out show at Metropolis Fremantle in Perth. It was a night full of good vibes, big smiles and plenty of energy, with the crowd giving the band a warm welcome from the very beginning.
The evening kicked off with two support acts, Ella Jones and Betty Taylor Band. Both delivered great sets, bringing plenty of energy to the room and getting the crowd ready for the main event.
When The Dreggs finally took the stage, the atmosphere only got better. The duo moved effortlessly between upbeat tracks like “Stay the Night” and “We Don’t Talk,” and more melancholic moments that gave the show a different, more intimate feel.
There was something special about the whole night. From the first songs to the final moments, the smiles on stage seemed to match those in the crowd. A sold-out venue, great support acts and a band clearly enjoying every second of it – a pretty perfect way for The Dreggs to wrap up their Heading Home Tour!

Olivia O’Brien Brings ‘The Pixie Tour’ to Pacific Electric in Los Angeles
While many people would likely agree with Garfield about hating Mondays, fans at Pacific Electric on Monday, November 2nd, probably disagreed. Eager fans of both Sophie Cates and Olivia O’Brien filled the room. Dressed in fairy wings and princess crowns, the night was guaranteed to be whimsical.
As the clock struck 8:00 pm, the lights began to dim. The crowd screamed as Sophie Cates took the stage. Singing songs from previous albums and from her upcoming album, this would be the first time that Sophie had been on stage in a couple of years. After releasing her debut album, Yikes! in 2019, Cates was later signed to RCA Records. Since then, she has released multiple EPs and her second studio album, “SUPERNOVA.” Sophie joined Olivia O’Brien on her North American tour for her new album, Pixie.
As we waited for Olivia to take the stage, some fans passed around little slips of purple paper. As each member of the crowd received a slip, a message was passed along: “When Icarus comes on, place this piece of paper in front of your camera light.” The sense of community among the fans felt surreal. To most, the purple cardstock creates a cool lighting effect, but to the fans, it creates an emotional atmosphere.
Soon after everyone received their slip of purple paper, Olivia was ready to take the stage. Dressed in her album’s theme, she wore a beautiful slip dress and her iconic pixie wings. O’Brien’s sophomore album, Pixie, is a 15-track record that explores projection and fantasy while confronting the manipulative patterns of past relationships. With questions about self-worth and identity, Olivia acknowledges her past relationship dynamics and struggles with letting go. Pixie also highlights the sense of betrayal and emotional abuse that come from toxic dynamics.
While Pixie may have been written about past relationship struggles and learning to navigate life as a girl in her mid-twenties, Olivia also drew inspiration from her childhood innocence. Stories like Percy Jackson sparked the fascination and curiosity that brought back a piece of childlike wonder.
