There are nights when a room simply catches fire, and the show at TV Eye on a warm Friday in May was one of them. Chanel Beads arrived with a set list drawn almost entirely from their debut album Your Day Will Come, and the crowd — packed shoulder to shoulder beneath the low industrial ceiling — received every song like it had already been lived with for years.
Singer and multi-instrumentalist Maya Bon played the opening section solo, her voice threading through the club's PA with an intimacy that felt almost inappropriate for the size of the room. The band joined incrementally: first drums, sparse and deliberate, then bass, then layers of guitar and synth that built the sound into something enormous without ever seeming to rush.
