Emmy the Great @ Baby’s All Right, 2/16/2014

Emmy the Great released her new pop-oriented EP, S, earlier this year and began her short US tour in support of it in Brooklyn at Baby’s All Right last night (2/16). Unfortunately, technical difficulties caused them to have a late start (they went on after 11:30) and they were forced to cut the set short too. Emmy wrote on Twitter:

I’m so sorry for the lateness people in brooklyn. The venue had a horrible sound experience and had to delay everything, then we found out the equipment we rented was broken, so the poor tech who replaced the venue guy had to fashion us new equipment with wire. And that last bit happened as we walked on stage. If you had to leave I’m sorry 🙁 🙁 We’re all so sad to have let people down.

She then later tweeted, “We had to do a super short set. Sorry again.” Hopefully things go over better when her tour returns to NYC on Thursday (2/19) at Mercury Lounge (tix).

Last night’s show was opened by Aimee deBeer and Stranger Cat, the electronic pop project of Cat Martino, who included a cover of Sia’s “Chandelier” in her set. More pictures of all three artists from last night, below…
