Shoegaze sensation Wisp played to a jam-packed room at Brooklyn Steel on May 3. Opening for British indie rock band Panchiko, the energy remained high throughout the Brooklyn venue on Friday night. This performance closed out a week of NYC headlining shows for Wisp, at Bowery Ballroom on April 29 and May 1, where Photographic Memory opened.
Currently based in Los Angeles, Wisp has quickly gained a large following, as the interest in shoegaze and the ethereal elements of the subgenre continue to rise. Wisp kicked off her US headlining tour in April 2024, with dates supporting Panchiko along the way. She had a busy April, with her debut EP Pandora also being released on April 5.
Throughout Wisp’s set, the room danced along with the strobe lights on stage. Her first single, “Your face,” was released last April. In a year’s time, she has gained a large fan base, and the crowd on Friday was evidence as that. With each song’s intro, the room erupted into screams of excitement and recognition.
The crowd remained captivated by the mixture of Wisp’s whispery voice and guitar riffs blended with the band’s heavy bass lines and drumbeats through the set. Wisp will be playing her next show on May 07 at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville supporting Panchiko. She will also be making more headlining tour stops through the end of May.
