It is always fire to watch.Ī NAN show would never be complete without WebsterX stage-diving after drenching the first few rows of audience members with his water bottle. He took off his shirt and owned the stage, from arching into a backward back bend, to grinding the air, to pumping his chest like some sort of tribal warrior-he was animated. His mantras in the songs “Bango” and “Amen” literally drove the crowd into frenzy. When Lorde Fred33 came out though, things got real. His new song, “Taps for Likes,” had everybody in the crowd holding up their cellphones to light up North Ave into some sort of narcissistic astral collective. Lex’s charm and confidence always stirs up the stage and his song “Puppy Love” was surely one that you could move to.

Siren was up next, her mystic voice being unshackled in two songs, including her new single “Queen Medusa,” which sells catchy bone-chilling lyrics and her potent soul buzzing vocal pitches.įollowing was Lex Allen and Lorde Fred33. WebsterX, who has become a household entity of Milwaukee, ignited the set with his new song “Doomsday.” Everybody at the show reverberated in a poetic unison to his lyrics, “We’re all doomed, we’re all doomed/ But It’s not doomsday.” It was the perfect song to get the crowd stoked for the rest of the show. NAN piano beat producer Q the Sun walked out on stage to amp up the sea of people readily waiting for the show, leading the crowd in the chant, “Everybody say NAN-NA-NA-NA-NAN.” Hopefully you were able to catch NAN’s headlining show at Summer Solstice on the East stage which began with an opening performance from Milwaukee hip-hop artist Klassik, and popped off around 9:30pm. If you haven’t heard of the Milwaukee-based music group New Age Narcissism (otherwise known as NAN) either: a) you have been living under a rock, or b) you just haven’t had a chance to experience, and become addicted to, their ferociously energetic live shows. Walking into an already enormous crowd during NAN’s sound check at North Avenue’s Summer Solstice music festival pretty much forewarned me for the silliness that was going to ensue.
