Wolf Alice formed around core members singer/guitarist Ellie Rowsell and guitarist Joff Oddie, eventually growing to include drummer Joey Amey and bassist Theo Ellis. Wolf Alice marries dreamy pop melodies to psychedelic sonic textures to create a complex yet catchy sound that is sure to fascinate audiences. At the band’s live shows singer Ellie Rowsell alternates between singsong verses and screamed choruses to brilliantly enact her impassioned lyrics.
With their cranked amplifiers and well-orchestrated blasts of feedback, the rest of the band matches every emotional twist and turn the singer conjures. While these aggressive elements are part of their calling card, they maintain a controlled vibe with composed loud-quiet dynamics and group harmonies that give songs like “Moaning Lisa Smile” a surprisingly sweet edge.
They never disappoint. This is my third time seeing Wolf Alice and every experience has been fantastic. Great set list, they don’t make the crowd wait, and they seem to be having a good time whenever they’re on stage. We had a bit of a lighter crowd in Indy this time, but they played like the place was packed. Great live band!Setlist for the show at Emo's Austin
Amazing as always. This band never fails to impress. They were even down their guitarist and the fill-in did a great job learning the stuff in a short amount of time. Venue was nice and cozy, easy to get right up front, which is where you want to be for Wolf Alice!
Wolf Alice is an eclectic band that always gives an excellent live performance. The gig was in the middle of nowhere and I don't think it was a capacity crowd. That did not change the effort they gave. I love the intimate venue but they can rock a larger arena as well.
Amazing as always! This band has become one of my favorites in the few years I’ve been enamored by them! They always put on such an amazing show and are such sweet people. They deserve all the success coming to them and more.
