Live Review: Badflower – House of Blues, Orlando – September 7, 2024
It’s 9:00PM and it’s show time. Josh leads the band out to the stage and kicks off the show with “Teacher Has a Gun”. The lights are dim and flooding the stage with a green glow and yellow stage lights moving through the smoke. Second song up is “Don’t Hate Me”. The stage lighting has turned purple with red red flood lights from along the back of the drum riser. Josh nearly goes into a split as the band plays “Fukboi”. The setlist for this tour could not have been a better selection of songs. The sound was spot on with each one as they played.
During Stalker, Josh walks onto the stage and points into the audience and asks to wear a hat that he sees. They toss the hat on stage and Josh pulls off his beanie and wears their hat. He jumps off the stage and sits on top of the barricade. He hands a gentleman his mic to hold for him while he plays his guitar and sings. The then makes his way through the crowd of people and hands his mic to another audience member. Now going into a lengthy drum and bass bit, Josh has disappeared and reappears upstairs making his way around the balcony.
“Family” appears to be the last song of the night when the lights go off and the band leaves the stage. Moments later, an intro plays and the lights flash. The band returns to the stage with a three song encore. Ending the night with “Detroit”, “30”, and “Girlfriend”.
