SPILL TAB BRINGS HER DEBUT ALBUM ‘ANGIE’ TO BOSTON
BRIGHTON MUSIC HALL — BOSTON, MA
On Tuesday night, Spill Tab brought her debut album ANGIE to Boston’s Brighton Music Hall, turning a September evening into something unforgettable. The fans showed up ready to give it everything. Some told me they’d been following her since she opened for Wallows at Roadrunner back in 2022, and you could feel that loyalty in the way they sang and danced through the set.
She wasted no time setting the tone with a powerhouse opener: “Grade A”. The song’s jagged beat and fiery energy lit up the room immediately, with Spill Tab herself dancing and moving across the stage, feeding the crowd as much energy as she received back. It was the kind of start that got everyone moving, proving this show was going to be anything but low-key.
Spill Tab’s music occupies a fascinating space between bedroom pop, alt-pop, and experimental electronic. She has lived in Paris and Los Angeles, and her sound reflects this multicultural background. Her songs often blend dreamy, lo-fi textures, jazzy inflections, and eclectic energy, moving effortlessly between soft ballads and upbeat tracks. There’s something entrancing about hearing her slip into French, her voice delicate but cutting, carrying both intimacy and longing. Even for those in the room who didn’t understand every word, the emotion was clear. It was a reminder of how Spill Tab’s music crosses boundaries, offering connection through feeling as much as through language. The genre-blurring quality of her music gives each live show a sense of unpredictability — one moment intimate and hushed, like during her hit “Cotton Candy”, the next moment raucous and visceral.
Watching Spill Tab on stage is as much about presence as it is about the music. She has an effortless charisma, moving with sharp bursts of energy one moment and pulling back into quiet focus the next. Her dancing felt unpolished in the best way—natural, playful, and in sync with the restless pulse of her songs. That looseness gave the night an edge, as though anything could happen at any time. It’s the kind of unpredictability that keeps fans hooked, reminding everyone that Spill Tab’s shows are as much about feeling the moment as they are about hearing the songs.
But intimacy quickly gave way to chaos. Toward the end of the set, Spill Tab urged the crowd to “move your bodies” as she launched into “De Guerre” and “Pistolwhip”. That was the breaking point — fans started jumping, dancing, and thrashing around, and the energy shot through the roof. It felt like the kind of release only live music can provide.
Walking out into the Boston night, fans left smiling, a little sweaty, and already waiting for the next time Spill Tab comes back. Tuesday night proved what’s been true since ANGIE dropped: spill tab’s energy is unmatched, and her connection with fans makes every show worth showing up for.
