Diandra Reviews It All

Missio’s mission is to get you lit; plain and simple. Their debut album, Loner ,plays to the notion that if you feel like your life is on self-destruct then…… go out with a bang. Everyone knows that moment when giving up on efforts and giving into hopelessness leads to a spiral of hard partying. For some, such a case lasts a day and for others a lifetime, but for a Rough Trade NYC audience; it was a night.
MISSIO – Middle Fingers

As a neon sign blared with the name MISSIO, the crowd cheered as if someone had lit an “Open” sign to fun. Missio’s duo, Matthew Brue and David Butler, bull-dozed the stage as like they were already partying in the back, and we had simply joined the already blazing festivities. It truly felt as like we, the crowd, were late for the “awesome”, as they bursted with an energy that needed no emotional kick-start. Both jumped on stands and pedestals and continuously prompted the crowd “Are you Ready?!”. A tone of one-upmanship had been set between Missio and the audience over who get wilder than the other, which, such a challenge, should be expected with songs such as, “ I Do What I Want”, “Everybody Get High”, and “DWI”/ Obviously, Missio won the challenge, but the crowd tried. To Brue, his music is about giving into darkness and achieving a semblance of light though “champagne fame” and getting “Twisted”. Yet, Missio’s is also based on years of addiction, of which he pointed out in sincerity. Now, like many artists, he releases his “inner demons” and penchant for partying every night like it is his last night through music that says, “Sometimes, you need to go crazy”. It may sound weird or wrong to condone such behavior because, unfortunately, we live in a world that tears the idea of “letting loose” between proactive and prudence. Hence, Missio’s grand message is, basically, “F The World”, let the “wildest” you have its moment.
MISSIO – Everybody Gets High (Acoustic)

I have to say Missio’s show was one of the funnest I have ever been to. Their music is strictly about having a CRAZY good time, and True and Butler are a match made in Heaven. First, their harmonies and vocal stylings were exactly as on record, which left it to their personality and sick basslines to distinguish why you, the viewer, should go see their concert. Frankly, they successfully distinguished themselves as concert to see, again, when you are ready to go CRAZY. For More Information On Missio Click Here.
