Concert Review: Cat Clyde Has Got Me In My Feelings
Cat Clyde is a total mood. Only she could rock shades at night and not look like a complete jerk. For all that her songs may sing to being another woman finding herself, on the Rough Trade stage, she was completely found and felt like a combination of Pats: Pat Benatar and Patti Smith.
What I like about Cat Clyde is that she makes confidence look like cockiness but is anything but. The thing about arrogant people is that they rely on their bodies and material things to look like they have it together while entering into full-on Twitter meltdowns at 4 in the morning while on the toilet. #youknowwhoIamtalkingabout Such human Cheetos are not beloved in Brooklyn, and Cat Clyde represented some of the reasons why. BK is a young celebration of diversity; a hub for struggling artists that totally do not get insulted if you say, “Oh, you and you feelings!” with burnt voice.
Her ability to represent the softness and roughness of being an artiste totally vibed with her BK crowd. She creative, folkish, and tough; showing in song and humor that our sensitivities might be our strengths. I always say that life is a journey and that who you are today could change in a second, of which Cat Clyde embraces that chaos and smooths into the melodies of songs such as, “So Cold,” “Anymore,” and “Hunter’s Trance.” She treats her songs like a rock n’ roll Western, of which she is John Wayne, of course without all his racism and sexism, (read up about him. She is strolling through the town to break hearts, heal them, and have her own go through the process. The result is a show that, inadvertently, promotes acceptance.
I think everyone has anger issues. Maybe, not punch a wall or try to become a dictator level of anger issues, but we all have a little chip on our shoulder that we try to act is as light and crisp as a tortilla. You may find my imagery eccentric, but, if there is one thin Cat Clyde’s smooth vocality embraces, it is pictures. She treat a lyric like a canvas, and uses images of nature to symbolize human growth. By the end of the show, people, definitely, grew to see there is not life without highs or lows. It is all a journey that you might as well have a song to carry you through it. For More Information On Cat Clyde Click Here.
