News: Sirius Seriously Awesome

I was lucky enough to attend the album release party Tuesday night in NYC at Spotlight, and it was AMAZING!!!! The venue was a large, 3-story night club filled with industry and press … and the lucky 100 fans who were able to get the coveted wristbands. We fans were allowed to sit in a small seated area on the floor immediately in front of Tori, while the press and others were made to sit back behind us at the raised bar and above us in the balconies. Both the piano and the Rhodes were on the small stage with Tori, and she opened with a teaser of “Bouncing Off Clouds — singing only a few lines repeatedly — and progressed into “Velvet Revolution,” followed by “Beauty Of Speed,” “Roosterspur Bridge,” “Almost Rosey,” and a chilling version of “Father’s Son.” Tori’s team has really mastered the reverb and vocal treatment during this song and it is haunting when played simultaneously on the Rhodes and Bösendorfer — GORGEOUS! It was one of the best solo performances I’ve seen Tori do.
