On a calm & peaceful Sunday night recently, I had the pleasure of heading out to Brooklyn for an intimate house show at Space Jam Studio in Brooklyn to catch a solo set from Shadow Monster’s Gillian Leigh Visco.
The mood & vibe among everyone was just perfect as Gillian masterfully played a 7 song set that left us all feeling every lyric & sound internally. First up was Love Gun which definitely served as a perfect catalyst of what was to come including a fantastic cover of Elliott Smith’s Between The Bars. I really enjoyed some of the newer songs especially Eyes In My Sleep which I can already tell will become a long term favorite.
Let me just tell you, I absolutely LOVED how Punching Bag sounded. Yes, we all know it is my favorite song of 2018 and one of my all time favorites overall. However I have to note how deep & emotional this rendition of it was on this night. The beautiful sound of her voice with those poignant lyrics made it something I’ll never forget.
