Neoni is a wonderful group to see. I just came from their concert in St. Louis and definitely need to sleep, but I really want to say that seeing them in person was incredible.
For one, the opener Marielle Kraft was very personable. Loved her the second she started singing. So proud of her for finding happiness and being a safe space for others. She was a wonderful opener ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜
The two boys who I can’t find names for (please tell me them if they’re official members, I feel SO bad for not knowing) were funny while basically testing things. We had a fucking Universal sound recall while testing the drums. It made sitting there and getting way too tipsy and knowing it was a bad idea fun while I waited for the main event.
When it came to Neoni themselves, the sisters were kind and sweet. At random moments, audience members close to the stage would be given the chance to let the girls take their phones and basically add to their recordings, letting their faces be seen and adding an angle from her pov. I myself never had the courage to come close and was close to the back of the bar since I didn’t want to push through the crowd, but they were so sweet and kind. I may not have known a few of the songs (I had no idea Champion was theirs), but it was a blast! I never met them personally, but they were great to watch onstage. I made a friend at the concert as well, and FINALLY found another Tangled fan in the wild.
Dark Pop may be their genre, but their attitude is incredible. Fully aware this is so different from what I usually post, but I have to talk about it. I’ve been dreading knowing if my work would schedule me this week, but I’m so glad they got the memo and I got to see these girls who clearly loved performing as much as I loved seeing them. Thank you for such a wonderful night, Neoni. I’ll never forget it <3
