When Daisy the Great took the stage at Brighton Music Hall in Boston, MA on Wednesday for the opening night of The Rubber Teeth Talk tour, the air felt reflective and charged. The band, fronted by Kelley Dugan and Mina Walker, brought their latest album, The Rubber Teeth Talk alive. For fans familiar with the soft folk-pop harmonies of their hit song "Record Player," this show celebrated the new directions the duo are exploring.
Fresh off releasing The Rubber Teeth Talk, they wasted no time inviting us into its dreamy world. Songs like "Dog" and "Bird Bones" shimmered with offbeat poetry, while Mina rocked the electric guitar and added a subtle taste that made the mellow moments shine. Kelley danced around with kinetic charm as if fully in her own little universe and immersed in the sound.
Hearing The Rubber Teeth Talk live felt like watching a painting come together in real time. The tracks had a magic touch to them: a mix of folk sweetness and theatrical flair. The new tracks might be gentler on record; however, they surely stretched their wings onstage.
Watching Mina and Kelley share a stage was exciting and their dynamic was infectious – they just flow so well together. What made the night so fun wasn't just the setlist: it was how at ease the duo seemed throughout the show, as well as the natural connection they have with their fans. For an opening night, they struck the perfect balance of polished and spontaneous, giving Boston a full-hearted show.
If you get the chance to see Daisy the Great on this tour, don't think twice. I, for certain, left the venue that night as a new fan.
