STRFKR put on an incredible performance during their first night of their 2024 US Tour. The Indie-Electronic band kicked off their tour at The Observatory in Santa Ana with special guests Ruth Radelet and Happy Sad Face putting on a truly cosmic show.

Although the band members stay close to their musical space stations on stage, the atmosphere they create make it an exciting show that puts fans into a different universe. The presence of dancers adds another amazing element to the performance. Sometimes draped in flowy galactic hoods and robes and other times wearing astronaut suits and playing percussion. Lights were moody and colorful with out-of-this-world trippy visuals. Mid set, drummer Keil Corcoran, came to front of stage and took over lead singer Joshua Hodge’s keyboard, and serenaded the crowd. Towards the end of the set, one of the astronaut dancers crowd-surfed through the venue impressively while doing the splits.

STRFKR has led the Indie-Electronic genre since their first self-titled album released in 2008. They’ve since racked up a large discography. Their most recent release, Parallel Realms, came out March 1, 2024 and includes danceable interspace tracks that fans have been positively receptive of. Throughout the performance, the band debuted six songs from their new release including “Holding On”, “Under Water/In Air”, “Feelings”, “Leaving” “Lot of Nice Things” and “Chizzlers”. They excitingly made it known during the set that it was the first time playing these songs. All songs during the set were original, but one: “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper. Fans erupted in excitement to hear their take on this classic.

STRFKR continues their tour across the US. Catch them in a city near you!
