The Scene Stealer: mehro
I’ll be honest: I walked in ready for the headliners, but I walked out a massive fan of mehro. By the end of their set, I had “you’re so pretty” stuck in my head and it didn't leave for the rest of the summer. Right before half•alive went on, I actually ran into their drummer on my way to the bathroom and got to congratulate him on the performance.
half•alive: In Motion
Being a fan since 2018, I was really excited to see half•alive perform at The Fillmore. I had listened to their new album, Persona, that came out that fall before. I was a big fan of the track "Sophie's House" and found myself jumping up and down, singing the lyrics with the rest of the crowd, when they finally played it. I’ll admit I didn’t know every word to every song, which felt a little embarrassing at first, especially being surrounded by people who clearly did. But at the same time, it was kind of comforting. There’s something about being in a room where everyone else is so locked in, singing every line without hesitation. It really pulled me into the performance.
I’ve watched their music videos for years, so I knew what to expect visually, but seeing it in person was completely different. Their choreography isn’t just something added on, it’s integral to their sound and performance. It’s precise but still feels natural, and it gives the song a unique structure. The entire set felt like it was constantly moving, even in the quieter moments which made everything flow and feel cohesive from start to finish.
It was a great concert, and I would definitely see half-alive again especially for the choreography but if I’m being honest, I’m still thinking about mehro. and hoping to see them on tour soon.
