Concert Review: Tender Are For The Living At Elsewhere
When it comes to a good, artistic dance show, you can’t beat Tender. They make you feel like you are dancing through the end of times: Harry Styles’ style. Their ability to be stylistically visionary and colorful while also being plain ol’ fun is what had their Elsewhere show packed and oddly feeling like the most Nuvo Brooklyn show.
Yes, Brooklyn has changed. (Please Read My Gentefied Review) A cascade of youth in colorful beanies and pencil tattoos dominate these streets, but one thing that will never change is that the people want to dance and how you move symbolizes what or how you want to escape. With tracks like, “Outside,” “6 In The Morning,” and new songs like, “Living” Tender played to people’s fantasies of an emotional Bladerunner 2049; one where Ryan Gosling is driving us through sand-dunes and sky-scrapers to escape a world that may progress but never better.
TENDER – Slow Love
Dressed in all white, it was hard not to feel like Tender was sermonic in their delivery of music like, a pack of angels ready to pass around water and give healing words to a people thirsting for it. To their fans, Tender spoke to them in a way that Alexandra Savior’s show recently taught me; you go to see the artist that makes you feel seen. That crowd was seeing Tender because, in some ways, the British group understood that getting physical is getting emotional. Every nod of the head and shimmy of the hip stems from a flutter of the heart or flick in the mind.
TENDER – 6 in the morning
Tender’s whirlwind arrangements, in terms of pacing and pulse, palpitated through stimulated hearts. Through humor, heart, and harmonies, it was as if they understood you move according to all speeds and sentiments. Hence, the power of a Tender show is that, like I always say, it lives up to its name. You can’t help but feel like this duo of Dan Cobb and James Cullen understands that people want a full experience when they see a concert. For More Information On Tender Click Here.
