Wet and Kilo Kish co-headlined The Regency Ballroom on March 26, 2019, with an opening set by Helena Deland, so naturally, by the shows end San Francisco was wet.<\/p>\n
It had really rained.<\/p>\n
Back in 2015 when Wet was named the most promising group in music by The Fader, California was in a drought.<\/p>\n
Whether the Brooklyn-based indie duo makes it rain remains unknown, it is of wide concern that the conscious choice to continue to sleep on Wet is still being made.<\/p>\n
Billboard\u2019s Chart History has the band logged with a single entry for their 2016 debut, \u201cDon\u2019t You,\u201d peaking at #76 on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
Pitchfork\u2019s review of a 4.0 did not help, making it easier to miss the way the strings at the end of \u201cLove Is Not Enough,\u201d the best song to end any album in 2018, are scratched and blurred to perfection.<\/p>\n
Last year, on the release night of \u201cStill Run\u201d the realization of the New Moon in Cancer came to me as the perfection on the last track faded out and it began to rain. It was the middle of July.<\/p>\n
Although it was only the first listen through the droplets fell with such a clarity.<\/p>\n
\u201cStill Run\u201d was my answer and it was so clear all the truths in the arrangements and lyrics needed to be taken in via live show.<\/p>\n
The way Kelly Zutrau croons her demands for liberation in lovelorn fashion over upbeat tempos with the added bass guitar and steel pedals \u2014 Wet has never sounded better.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s because Zutrau did that<\/em>. She stopped sparing the bands\u2019 feelings and began taking credit for her work.<\/p>\n In an ultimatum to Marty Sulkow and Joe Valle, the other two members of the band, Zutrau would take over creative direction. The result left Zutrau and Valle to remain and craft the band\u2019s current sound not forgetting to blend signature Wet into the set.<\/p>\n Zutrau made sure to tell the room how the most well-known Wet song was written before Wet was even Wet.<\/p>\n \u201cWe get so much feedback about this song all the time, and I love knowing how it has helped so many of you out,\u201d she says before giving a tearjerker performance of \u201cDon\u2019t Wanna Be Your Girl.\u201d<\/p>\n Wet knew to open their set with \u201c11 Hours,\u201d wrecking the crowd immediately. The same immediacy returned after DWBYG as \u201cSoftens\u201d thoughtfully followed up serving as the tissue needed to dry the tears.<\/p>\n Zutrau acknowledged the playful energy in the ballroom calling the crowd \u201cthe loudest of the tour,\u201d and spoke of \u201changing out for 20 minutes near the merch booth if anybody wants signatures or to say hi after.\u201d<\/p>\n But not before Zutrau came back out alone and sat with her steel lap guitar to give the crowd the encore that was asked for.<\/p>\n She began with title track Still Run, Trust No Man and All The Ways with the band joining her back on stage for Weak and then ending the show at the first minute mark of You\u2019re The Best.<\/p>\n Valle and Zutrau really are the best and the experience of their show allowed for the audience to feel through color, stage lighting and instrumentation not to mention all the added personal touches.<\/p>\n Wet has the ideal music for all times.
