Lucy Dacus Brings New Music to Radio City Music Hall Sing-Along on Thursday Night

Lucy Dacus – Radio City Music Hall – April 24, 2025

“It’s still cool.” That was Lucy Dacus assuring the Thursday night packed-house audience that even though she had thrilled an equally enthusiastic audience at the legendary Radio City Music Hall the night before, she was still fully appreciating the moment to its fullest. As she delivered a powerhouse set filled with songs from her just-released Forever Is a Feeling album and plenty of older favorites, she also reminded her fans that it’s still cool to sing soul-baring songs from your heart, to find big ideas in the small details, to find power in the quiet moments, and, of course, still cool to rock out on the big stage every once in a while.

The set opened with “Hot and Heavy,” Dacus singing, “Being back here makes me hot in the face” and then, as her band hit their stride, gesturing to the backdrop that fell to reveal an elaborate stage design giving the feel of the inside of a salon with digital paintings on the wall and lush furnishings. On newer songs like “Ankles” and “Limerence,” the band felt almost orchestral with velvety swaths of violin matching the standard guitar and bass. The mix of older stuff like “VBS” and a gorgeous two-violin take on the first “Nonbeliever” of the tour contrasted Dacus’s doubt-filled looking at the past with the more hopeful lovelorn newer material like “Best Guess” with the chorus of “My best guess at the future.”

Midway through the set, a plush couch was brought out for Dacus to play stripped-down versions of “I Don’t Want to Be Funny Anymore” and “Bullseye,” on which she was joined by opener jasmine.4.t. What’s cooler than singing on a chaise longue under a digital night sky? The three-song encore built to a climax with fan-favorite “Night Shift,” which slow-burned to a rocking full-band explosion. Yes, it’s the way almost all Lucy Dacus shows end, but with the audience triumphantly singing along at the top of their lungs, there is little doubt that it’s still very, very cool. —A.

Magdalena Bay Blast Terminal 5 into Space

Magdalena Bay – Terminal 5 – April 23, 2025

Magdalena Bay, at least for their latest tour, have built themselves within a unique aesthetic world, think World Wide Web 1.0, one of GeoCities and GeoPets. This all harkens back to a time when the Internet was more fantastical and fun, a little less fascist, a place to escape to and not one from which to escape. Magdalena Bay’s other reoccurring themes of their set on Wednesday night at Terminal 5 included fire, mirrors, time, eyeballs, CD-ROMs and an antique chair that Mica Tenenbaum would return to between songs in moments of feigned exhaustion.

“Welcome to Magdalena Bay and the Imaginal Mystery Tour,” said Tenenbaum, heartily introducing her band and the night. As our funky forefathers have foretold, it’s best to lock everyone into a groove before blasting them into space, something this band has mastered. The Terminal 5 crowd boarded for space before they knew it, with the song “Killing Time” putting some rhythm bone-deep before hitting with g-force. The song eventually morphed in tandem with the visuals into something a little more haunting, with the vibe shifting to The Wizard of Oz at its most terrifying moments.

“Image” rides a similar dynamic, an incredibly hooky bass and rhythm meeting Tenenbaum’s vocals. She takes a similar approach to her onstage presence, floating about in a flowing jumpsuit like a space ballerina, fluttering her way to the top of a platform above the crowd, then back down and spinning amidst the band.

Magdalena Bay are such an interesting grab bag of influences — beyond pop — that has won them some broad-based acclaim since the release of 2024’s Imaginal Disk. “That’s My Floor” harkens back to a time when female-fronted pop songs felt rock and roll by default to match the larger zeitgeist of the times. “Top Dog” pulled out some visuals from a similar period, complete with doggy-inspired clip art you might toss into a PowerPoint presentation in the year 2000.

“Cry for Me” might be the band’s ultimate flex, and it was easily one of their most moving songs of the night. It features a groove worth putting up against the best of them, think all those songs you aren’t surprised to hear the late Quincy Jones had a hand in producing. There was also the crowd favorite and TikTok hit “Killshot,” which dipped into a slowed-down version that’s revived the 2019 song into a modern-day hit. This is a band with a knack for bending time, as much as it feels like their best times are still ahead of them. The show ended with the catchy and self-referential “The Ballad of Matt & Mica” before returning for an encore performance of “The Beginning.” Time may be a flat circle but it's certainly fun when it goes around and around. —Dan Rickershauser | @D4nRicks
