![]() The audience, in turn, hollered back every lyric and romped around the venue it was apparent that the message behind Gish’s music was just as important to them as the music itself. Gish was not overpowered by big guitars or drums rather, she controlled every instrumental aspect on stage with her loop pedals and poured her heart out to her fans. Personally speaking, I find Gish’s lyrical content to be the most compelling part of her music, and her setup perfectly served this aspect of her music. Gish exceeded in varying the dynamics of her songs, getting quieter during the verses to create more intimacy between her and the crowd and then ramping up her volume during the chorus to create an explosion of sound throughout the space. ![]() While Gish’s instrumental setup was fairly minimal-just her, some guitar pedals and loops, and a drum track-her stage presence captivated the room. “I love to tune instruments, I like really do,” she said in a valley-girl accident while re-adjusting her capo. Gish took breaks between to directly express this sentiment by thanking the audience for coming out and by cracking jokes in between songs. Once Gish began to play, her eagerness to be performing in front of the audience-and their reciprocal excitement to be seeing her live-became apparent. The 22-year-old initially stepped on to the stage to set up her guitar pedals, seeming a little taken aback by the sudden whoops that erupted from the audience as she did so. Since Another Michael crowded the stage with four band members, two synthesizers, and several guitars, the sole presence of Sidney Gish on stage was slightly jarring.
