Performance marked Bridgers’ first traditional concert in nearly two years

Phoebe Bridgers kicked off her tour in Chesterfield, Missouri on Friday, her first traditional concert in nearly two years.

After a 15-song set — in which she played her new album Punisher nearly straight through — she covered Bo Burnham’s “That Funny Feeling” for an encore. The video above begins with Bridgers at the second verse (“The surgeon generals’ pop-up shop, Robert Iger’s face”) as the crowd eventually sings along.

Bridgers joined Burnham at his live debut performance of the Inside track last month at Los Angeles’ Largo at the Coronet, but no videos of it surfaced. Burnham will release Inside (The Songs) physically on December 3rd, on CD and various colors of vinyl. The comedy was recently nominated for six Emmy awards.

Bridgers last traditional show prior to the pandemic was London’s Roundhouse on November 2nd, 2019. Her North American tour continues through the fall, making several stops with Muna as an opening act. The trek wraps up on October 26th at the Anthem in Washington, D.C.

Bridgers recently moved all indoor dates to outdoor venues, announcing new protocols that include requiring proof of vaccination upon entry. “Please wear a mask,” she said. “I love you. See you soon.”

Ken Carson has finally released Cartunez, the deluxe edition of Xperiment, and the project finds him making several bold moves. One of the biggest moments comes on “9 bitches,” his collaboration with ApolloRed1, where Carson appears to directly target Nine Vicious. The tension began after Nine Vicious criticized the Opium label and mentioned its cofounder, Opm Babi. Carson seemingly answers those remarks through the new track, firing back at the polarizing former YSL rapper. He calls out Nine Vicious by name and delivers several harsh lines aimed in his direction. Carson also brings people close to Nine Vicious into the conflict, making it obvious that he is ready for the situation to escalate if Nine decides to respond.
