I had the opportunity to attend opening night at Elsewhere in Brooklyn. Here’s the quick and dirty of it all: That f*king “bimbo” can sing.
Before Chrissy even hit the stage, the Girlie Pops (her fan club) were already singing her praises. Local drag performer ZZ Chic called her the “embodiment of queer joy and enthusiasm,” while Bronx native and rock fan, Miliany, said she feels “feminine, empowered,” like fans can finally be their “authentic selves.” Another fan, “Violet” (five shows deep), put it simply: Chrissy is “unstoppable.”
And I couldn’t agree more. From this show alone, I could tell that Lesbian Jesus was coming to take over the pop scene with her proud, pink, Passionfruit-flavored p*ssy power (Seriously, try saying that three times fast!)
Chrissy Chlapecka's concert was full of theatrical spectacle, space-movie–inspired narration, fabulous choreography, and bedazzled props. Oh, and live vocals, of course .
CHRISSY CHLAPECKA: THE HEAD BITCH
Chrissy Chlapecka's musical journey is marked by her commitment to exploring diverse themes of love and queer identity. Her 80s-inspired tracks on Girlie Pop: Encore remain my favorite era. Her seven-song EP, Christine (2025), has successfully attracted new and existing fans. The EP is grand, maximalist, and theatrical, with a clear and appreciated influence of Lady Gaga.
However, Chrissy isn’t just a carbon copy of Mother Monster and where others can’t hold a vocal candle to Gaga, Chrissy sets records like "Aria" on fire. The sapphic, synth-heavy symphony features three key changes at its peak. And with big vocals all over the EP, many questioned whether or not Miss Christine herself could bring her “self-titled” album to life.
She brought it to life and gave the girls life at the same time.
GIRL ON THE MOON: Concert Review
Opening Acts: Harsh Babe, Malea Kimberly, Luxx Noir London
Highlight:
Biggest vocal flex: “Aria” (those key changes? she lit them up)
Most Fun Moments: “Clam Casino” and “I'm So Hot” (One’s truly an underrated song and the other is the true O.G of Chrissy's catalogue)
Fave concept-to-stage translation: “Girl On the Moon” and “My Only Dream is to Be Love” (moon blocks + space narrator = commitment to the bit throughout the show)
Honorable Mention:
“One Who Gets To Cry” was pure “She came down in a bubble, Doug!” energy, complete with a pink princess gown and tiara.
The concert began dramatically with her opening song, "Brain," featuring cloaked dancers (Katya and Ally) and a "brain cap" reveal. Her striking costumes included a cherry-red bra and an anatomical heart chain embellished with bright red crystals. The stage design was equally imaginative, incorporating blocks painted to resemble the surface of the moon, which made the performances like “Girl On the Moon” feel that much more real. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t shout out Chrissy’s beautiful butch guitarist, Jude, for bringing the tracks to life!
Chrissy definitely possesses the "it factor." She can SING and effortlessly commands the stage, maintaining her on stage persona even when faced with minor issues related to props, and costumes. Such mishaps are common, after all, even major stars have dealt with more serious wardrobe and stage malfunctions (Beyoncé's “16 Carriages” Cadillac almost became a hearse in Houston and Madonna had her famous cape incident at the 2015 Brits).
Considering it was the very first night of the tour, the hiccups were minor, which speaks volumes about the high quality of Chrissy Chlapecka's performances.
Performing in clubs and touring all over the States is a huge undertaking for an independent artist, but working with a G-string budget has never been a problem for Chrissy! Now, that she's got a little more sparkle and support from sponsors like Arctic Fox (who is facilitating a Girl On The Moon Tour giveaway), the Pink Pop Princess can shine even brighter! She fills rooms with people and pop perfection. And if you ever get the opportunity to watch that “Bimbo” perform live you won't be disappointed.
Speaking of not being disappointed, check out Chrissy's newest release, Andromeda!

On April 19th, Webster Hall was filled with “FLO Lifers” eagerly awaiting the UK girl group FLO who are currently embarking on their “FLO Live” tour. Formed 2019, FLO consists of Jorja Douglas, Renee Downer, & Stella Quaresma. The group’s style distinctly derives from R&B and Hip-Hop from the 1990’s and early 2000s. For a more in-depth analysis FLO’s sound and trajectory watch here (https://youtu.be/i18hpBoW4EU)/ <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/i18hpBoW4EU" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Before FLO took the stage, Samaria, an Oakland R&B singer, opened the show. Samaria started with a simple backdrop featuring her name, keys, and drums. The audience seemed familiar with her music and if they were not, they were supportive and living in the moment. Samaria interacted with the audience well and related to them on the basis of terrible ex's and a journey through a toxic relationship. Samaria’s songs had interesting cadences, but what was missing for us was backing vocals on the track to delineate verses from choruses. After doing some research we found that the “Out of the Way” singer has a sound also inspired by 00s R&B, with a some tracks tracks full of fun guitar licks and drum patterns reminiscent of Timbaland, but none of those instruments were present in her performance. Her backline consisted of a keyboardist and a drummer. Although Samaria sounded good, at times the keyboard’s volume was overpowering. She worked the stage, nonetheless and good job. 7.5 out of 10 ! ()SCORE

Next up was the much-anticipated FLO, and the girls opened with "Not My Job." They were all dressed in black with cute cutouts, and their outfits were shimmery (I love sparkle!) which was a welcome change from their wardrobe at the MOBO awards. Their faces were beat (we love a “natural glam”),
their vocals were tight, and their choreography was utilized well to highlight grooves. The chemistry between the girls was undeniable, and their vocal blend was seamless— absolutely chill-inducing. Jorja's thick vocal tone took the songs to a soulful place, and Stella's airy delivery allowed her to float at the top of the group's harmonies. Renee's smooth, warm alto voice added a coolness to their sound and gained a lot more stability in live singing. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention FLO’s band! The band consisted of some past schoolmates, which added another layer of charm to the whole set!
The absolute highlight of the show was "Losing You” In this live arrangement, the girls emoted and connected with the audience on a deeper level. Chris loved harmonized adlibs, brand new bridge and extra outdo including a guitar solo. As a special treat, FLO performed a cover of Jamelia's version of "Superstar" by Christine Militon. Even though a majority of the NYC crowd had no clue who Jamelia was and didn't know the song, the girls did teach the chorus before singing the song, so some fans were able to follow along. Chris and I certainly knew the song and even received compliments on synchronized impromptu choreography.
Speaking of choreo…
The girls' choreography was something we were curious to see, and they did not disappoint. They danced well, and they were given grooves as opposed to sharp movements that really complemented each member's personal style. In terms of technique, they aren’t K-pop idols so we weren’t expecting crazy formations and “point dances,” but you can tell they put in the work to provide another layer of entrainment to the experience. There was even some chair-ography for their performance of "Change," a new track about a lover's inability to "do the work" necessary to improve the condition of the relationship.
The girls did perform their latest single, "Fly Girl" ft Missy Elliot, and although Missy Elliot was present in the audience, she did not join the performance.

Fans (the FLO Lifers) were absolutely living their best lives! They knew all the words to FLO’s songs—the BGV's and the ad-libs. It was a room full of genuine love and screams! FLO closed the night with their debut single, "Cardboard Box," and this performance featured a heavenly bridge section.
Overall, the show was good, and for this to be the group's first headlining tour, we were impressed with the girls’ improvement from performances like the MOBO Awards, where nerves played a noticeable factor. FLO is worth the hype for sure, and we cannot wait to see the new era of girl groups being led by FLO. For their NYC debut, we rate them a 9 out of 10! FLO Lifers left Webster Hall with unforgettable memories and high expectations for FLO's future performances.
