Kimbra

Delmar Hall is a fantastic place to see an artist like Kimbra! Great views from any seat in the house. Great sound system and wait staff as well.

First night of the Primal Heart tour (album out in April) and it was great to "screen" Kimbra and her band live! Local faves Arc Iris are opening on tour; couldn't imagine a better choice!

Words cannot describe how good the Kimbra show was.

Kimbra, put on one of the best shows I have seen n years. Her band was very good. I love the CD, but hearing her live made me wish I could remaster the CD to pick up some the frequencies lost on the CD. The live performance was so much better than the recording. Kimbra's passion and enthusiasm through the entire show is infectious . The joy she emits can't help but make you smile. She is an amazing performer.

She ran the stage like a contorting marathoner, and her voice was pitch perfect the whole time. Want to see her again right now! The venue was gorgeous.

Kimbra was absolutely amazing. She had high energy and great stage presence. Her voice is incredible and she looks like she truly enjoys performing. I would love to see her again. The Stepkids were a great opening band. They were fun, entertaining, and interesting. The Fonda Theatre was a great venue as well!

The Stepkids opening the show was fantastic. Their performance alone was worth the price of the ticket! And then... Little Miss Kimbra came on and worked the hell out of the stage and her costume. I mean wow! I thought I loved her before, but seeing her live completely solidified it. Also I have to point out Kimbras guitarist, idk his name but he's the Latino guy that was killing it! I highly recommend this performance. (obviously)

Best show ive seen in a while!! Kimbra and The Stepkids were a AMAZING!!

I caught the opening act, The Stepkids and I thought they were a great warmup to Kimbra's set, so if you usually forgo the opening act (as I usually do) change it up just this once, they have a great jam band set up and the lightshow they use is super trippy with their funk/rock feel from the 60s/70s. That being said, Kimbra was amazing, her band was just as great as she was, they are a talented group altogether and gel very well together. The live versions of all her songs were even faster paced and more energetic than those recorded on the album, and made for a fun night and a lot of dancing, she is spectacular, and looped live for several numbers (Settle Down, Something in the Way You Are, Cameo Lover, Plain Gold Ring) and that was by far the highlight of my night, she is a master of her voice and the stage, and her grin and laugh is infectious. All in all I would definitely see her again if offered, the live experience offered her music a new and interesting dimension to her already layered musical talent. I would also recommend her to anyone that likes a fun, danceable and fast paced concert experience, Kimbra is on the rise and I am so excited to see her live again and hear new material.

I recently saw Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson all in a week, and honestly Kimbra blew all of them right out of the water. Literally speechless, very powerful and epic.

This by far was one of my favorite shows I've been to so far. Kimbra is absolutely incredible and so entertaining to watch. She is extremely talented and very unique, and I think she is at the top in music right now. The show overall was so fun and one of the most memorable shows ever! She did so great. This was my third or fourth show at the Fonda and I love it there as well.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SHOW WAS AWESOME, GLAD THEY STARTED ON TIME. SHE HAS A GREAT VOICE AND PUT ON A GOOD SHOW.

Amazing show. Band was incredibly tight! Kimbra sounded better than she does on record. There was so much energy and good vibes in the atmosphere! I will make it a point to see her again whenever I can.

Kimbra had such high energy throughout the show! What really pushed her over the edge for me was when she pulled out her inhaler and said "Who has asthma? It sucks doesn't it!"

This was the first time I left a show early out of disappointment. Kimbra came out on stage in a dress that looked like a preschool arts and craft project. It had shoulder pads made of a wig cut into two, a big skirt with green metallic leaves on them, and her hair was teased to make a fluffy helmet. I couldn't even look at her and had to focus on the beautiful tapestry behind her. The first two songs you couldn't hear her vocals because the band was too loud. Maybe I had too high of expectations, but she met them when performing Plain Gold Ring. But then it was back to jumping around the stage, making strange faces, and wasting her beautiful voice for a quirky gimmick. I left a few songs later. I wanted to hear my favorite song settle down, but I was afraid of what I would hear or see.

I saw Kimbra open for Foster the People in May. She put on a great show and had the outfit and spunk to match. Incredibly talented and just such a unique artist.

Saw her open for Foster the People. Amazing singer, such a big voice for a little person. But after the show she refused to stop and talk to fans, sign autographs or take pictures. While Foster gladly did all the above. She wouldnt even acknowledge people. Just kept her head down and walked to her bus. I still like her music, just see her in a different light...

Kimbra is amazing!! She can put on a great show and I cannot wait to see her headline!

Kimbra put on a show I will never forget. She has such a positive presence on stage and really resonates happiness and talent throughout her whole performance!! Will see her again.

I didn't know the Stepkids before I went to the show, and they were very entertaining. Kimbra was her usual energetic, unique self even though she had a cold. I liked the venue too.

The show was Absolutely Fabulous .. The Psychedelic Light show projecting on the Step kids were amazing .. The were so unique you would never have expected them. I loved it. & Their colorful show gave perfect way for Miss Kimbra .. She was beautiful, very cute, and I loved her energy ..

Kimbra's got a great voice and a quirky stage presence (think Bjork) and a ferocious backing band. Even with a cold, she delighted the crowd.

wonderful live performance, super energetic and extremely passionate singer. loved watching her eyes and hands throughout the show

She is an amazingly talented singer, writer, all around artist. And she's absolutely adorable! Her band was excellent too; every song was a total work of art. I'm so glad I went to her show, so worth it!!

Kimbra was lively and fun! Her opening act, The Stepkids, was a pleasant surprise.

Kimbra. Rules. Great show, loved the lighting and the encore!!

I'll admit, I wasn't expecting much. Usually the acts that my sister drags me to are dull and uninspired, but to my great surprise Kimbra was neither. That woman has talent.

Kimbra is an amazing artist to see live. She sounds just as great as she does on the CD if not better. Def get tickets to see her if you are a die-hard fan (and even if you're not...she's great to watch!)

High energy, tight band, cool venue. Kimbra demands the crowds attention and puts on a great show! She is so talented. I love when I see a band and they're better LIVE than they are on the album.

One of best stage live performance! Awesome band!! Check it out!

I had seen Kimbra open for Gotye earlier this year, so I knew it would be a great show, but my every expectation was far surpassed. She gave such an incredible performance, and it was clear that the crowd loved her. I would pay for another one of her concerts in a heartbeat!

Stage presence was incredible and so energetic. Would love to see her in concert over and over again!

First off Webster Hall is a great venue to see a show. I had been intrigued by what I heard from Kimbra but can hardly call myself a fan. My girl is a Kiwi so I pay extra attention to acts coming out of New Zealand. Besides the curiosity factor and the price point the main draw for me was The Step Kids. These guys are amazing. They went to school locally and I've seen them prior to being signed. They're local heroes. All in all great performances from both bands. The Step Kids are known for their projection light show (they've been doing long before being signed), musicianship, and vocal harmonies. These guys make your head bounce with a heavily funk and soul influenced sound. Kimbra assembled a very capable band and put on a tight, exhilarating performance. Being a drummer myself I tend to be critical of other drummers. The one from her band was amazing. Kimbra herself is no slouch. Very energetic and fun to watch as she is to hear. Her excitement to be playing her first headlining show in NYC (sold out to boot) was palpable. Smiles and head bobbing abound. Go out and see this package while you can still see them in small venues. Well worth it!

Kimbra was in excellent voice, and her band is tight and hugely talented. She plays to the entire crowd and is a fabulous presence of positive energy. Great playing all around, song selection a nice blend, including 'Withdrawal' (not on US album). She is a true talent to be reckoned with, hard working and obviously passionate about what she does. It's so refreshing to see a performer who doesn't pander. My only complaint? That the show wasn't 4 hours longer. Hee. Too bad the opening act was nothing more than snotty hipster Fairfield County white boy funk. Good players, but not doing anything I haven't seen before. Their songs lacked hooks and appeared to be nothing more than "guitar solo delivery systems". It didn't help that they walked through the crowd acting pretentious and twee as they passed out stickers.

Vocals were spot on and the energy was great. Awesome time...

Kimbra is such a cute and classy woman and you'd want to be her best friend after seeing her live. She rocks out and has loads of fun on stage, and gets you into the vibe as well. She holds her audience very well. She came back for an encore and 2 more songs. And she sings great live, just as good as her studio recordings. I absolutely loved this concert and would recommend anyone to go see her.

I absolutely love Kimbra. She shows so much energy and it's easy to tell that she really feels her music. The show was nothing less than awesome and I must say that The Stepkids were definitely amazing. I was blown away by the whole show, even though the crowd at times was louder than her. Since the crowd was louder than Kimbra at certain points, I totally didn't get the satisfaction I wanted from hearing her sing "Something In the Way You Are", but her performance was excellent. As I've said in the title of my post, Kimbra is dominating and I mean it.

She was soo cute and energetic!! She was eccentric and sounded soooo good live.

Many times I was just frozen, my mouth agape. Single greatest artist and performer I've seen in my life. She's unreal. She's inhuman.

This girl is incredible. So talented, such energy. One of the rare truly talented female artists currently out there. She can do it all; funk, jazz, soul, pop. Definitely see her if you get the opportunity. And I always have a great time at Webster Hall

This woman was amazing what incredible stage presence and energy. She took no breaks and kept the crowd wanting more and the energy high. Her voice is beautiful and powerful. The lighting throughout the show was perfect. I would definitely see her again.

She is an incredibly talented artist and performer. The Stepkids were amazing too. Beautiful and trippy performance.

Kimbra was absolutely amazing!! She was high-energy and fun, and I'm so glad I went to see her!! The music was a bit heavy on the speakers, making it a little hard to hear her voice sometimes, but it was still great. My only regret is that Kimbra didn't mellow out and do any a cappella singing. She's got such a beautiful and unique voice and I've seen videos where she is unaccompanied by anything but her own voice and still sounded great, so I was hoping to see that at the show as well. Even without that, it was definitely a show worth seeing. Her band was great too, and really seemed to enjoy being out there performing.

Considering that I was sitting on the back row of the balcony area, it would have been so much better if the drunk people standing behind me didn't spill their drink down my shirt. Overall, the show was entertaining, but not amazing.

Kimbra's alive, vivacious, colorful, playful, fun, animated and she sounded soooo good, powerful and great tonality!!! I also love the backdrop that she had on stage, and as always she has the most fun creative costume on stage : ) By Agnessimo

She is an amazing performer with a ton of energy which made it even more fun for the audience!! her outfits are so cute and her voice is beautiful.

I know a couple of her songs but seeing her live was a different story. She was awesome! She's such a good performer and her voice is amazing.

Seriously, go see Kimbra in concert. I can't wait until she drops another album and goes on tour again. She is full of energy, super talented, and truly feels the music.

Kimbra wore two costumes. A MuMu with Art Deco style print and a Chrome piece bodice and tutu. Her beautiful skin made the revealing Chrome dress captivating. He voice was overshadowed early in the set by the Base & Drums. I think the bass notes were from a keyboard, since I didn't see anyone playing a bass guitar at the time. The fixed that by the third song an I was loving it. Kimbra has terrific stage presence and is great with the crowd. Many songs were sung by the crowd as well and I think she enjoyed that. I sang along to Settle Down and Two Way Street.

Wow. Just wow. I barely have words to describe how incredible Kimbra's performance was. Her band was on point, and every note that exited her mouth was pitch perfect. The show was energetic and captivating, and incredibly emotional. Her live show is even better than her recordings, and I was left speechless by the end. Definitely recommend

Kimbra is an entertainer in every sense of the word. She brings incredible force to her performance, and her voice is extremely strong and accurate. Kimbra commands the audience's attention from start to finish, and has so much fun with it. One of the best shows I've ever seen!

Both artists were amazing and the venue was cool! Kimbra sounds better live than recorded and performed two extra songs for us after she finished her set.. The Stepkids were a great opening act and their music is very very very good!

First off I have to say I love, love, love and adore her. I have finally admitted that I have a crush on Kimbra. I'm sure I must be one of thousands but oh well in my head its only me and no one else can adore her like I do. So needless to say it was with great anticipation that I was eagerly awaiting this show. I think live she is amazing and I love her energy and emotion throughout. She is so damn musical with her voice words cannot describe. Truly she uses her voice like an instrument and I wish we could have heard more. As others mentioned there were issues with the sound mix - I thought it was horrible in the middle of the club which should have been the sweet spot. I wish I brought my plugs with me however I know its not her fault. Also think an accapella song or two would have been amazing. She did interact with the audience quite a bit but sometimes felt like they were rushing the set. My hunch is they have to be off stage by a predetermined HOB time. As usual for HOB, the club was packed. It felt oversold to me as it was nearly impossible to move freely from anywhere in the club. And then add to this a new safety isle added on the dance floor that effectively removed about 20% of the standing area and massive crowding ensued which wasnt a good mix for enjoyment of the show. Needless to say that HOB is my least favorite venue in San Diego. My friends always joke that HOB is the McDonalds of nightclubs so their job is to get you in and get your money and get you out as quickly as possible. No comment on the opening act Step Kids - sorry I was stuck in traffic trying to find a decent parking space. I stayed after for a minute to check out the merchandise booth. I was sad to see there were no Kimbra singles or any vinyl being offered. Step Kids did stay and they were talking to and signing for everyone. I wish Kimbra would consider doing that as well. Overall I really loved seeing her live however would have much preferred a different venue with better sound. I would give her 4 stars for her performance and the club 2 stars being generous so I am scoring 3 stars for this show. For the next tour I will probably travel to another city rather than attend another HOB show.

It's hard not to be entranced by Kimbra's voice. She is definitely a talented young performer who is only going to get better and she puts on a great show. Must see whenever she comes to town

My expectations were surpassed. Kimbra put on an entertatining live show, with great sound.

Kimbra is amazing and didn t disappoint. First show, would see her again.

Kimbra's heart filled every crevice of Delmar Hall.

One of the best shows that I ve seen in a while. She s an incredible singer and artist!!!!

Kimbra and her opener Aysia BerLynn were phenomenal! It was a great show in a beautiful venue!

It was at an intimate venue. Kimbra had great stage presence and the shoe was awesome.

I hadn't been to a concert in almost two decades and this was well worth my time, it was absolutely fantastic, I enjoyed every minute of it, Kimbra really has a wonderful voice and sound.

Kimbra always puts on an amazing show. The Madrid is a great venue too

Kimbra is a great singer. The band and sound people behind her were terrible last Saturday night. They drowned out her voice, filled the music with stupid electronic noises and had the drum kit miked as if it were in a stadium. We left after 6 songs as it didn't get better. Lots of others around us left also. Very disappointing and sad to see such a great artist being ruined. Luckily the opening act Micky Ecko was superb backed by outstanding musicians who had the sound just right. What a fabulous singer he is and the drummer backing him had fabulous dynamics. The contrast between his superb show and the awful one by Kimbra only showed how bad her people were.

Kimbra is such an amazing performer! In such a small venue, the concert felt very intimate and all inclusive. The opener had a cool vibe but was a little stiff. Would definitely see her again.

An amazing artist who walks her own path, and delivers a show filled with great songs, energetic, spirited performances and a supremely talented, tight band. Kimbra was fabulous on her last tour in the US, but this show surpasses it--every song was delivered with grit and energy and spectacular musicianship. That she is not a household name is a crime, in my opinion. Then again, she is not a I-V-vi-IV pop princess--her songs are far more sophisticated, challenging and exciting than the standard fare, and her live performances deliver a fun, powerful knock-out punch. Highly--HIGHLY recommended!

Brighton Music Hall was Not the venue you would expect Kimbra would book. There is NO seating! The sound system was so loud the bass was giving my heart a cardio workout with every beat of the bass drum. I am not kidding. Completely drowned out Kimbra's AMAZING VOCALS.!!

The opener Empress Of was awesome...Kimbra was ehhh...her voice is phenomenal...stage presence was OK but her 2nd album's material is average at best...the few songs she played off her 1st album were the highlights of the night...Settle Down sounded even better live...I guess this is just personal preference about the music...she was a good performer otherwise..I wouldn't go see her again...the tickets were free to begin with so not really complaining

This venue was the perfect place to see someone like Kimbra perform. The sound was just right, I'm on the shorter side but I had a great view of her, nice and close view, drinks were available on both levels of the venue. Kimbra was loads of fun, she's got a great spirit and knows how to keep the crowd alive!

Wow! Really fun. Really talented. Her talent and personality really came through.

This event was incredible. Such a beautiful voice and fun range of songs from her two albums. Also the venue was intimate and clean, great for a night of dancing and singing along.

What happens when you blend together human percussion, a glorious use of vocabulary, original mesmerizing beats, and a vessel all in which to perform it all? Well, ladies and gentlemen you are presented with Kimbra. The audience erupted when she ran down the stairs onto the Royale stage\u2014an entrance I will not soon forget. This girl isn't just a powerhouse singer; her music is meticulously thought out, beautifully phrased, incredibly relatable, to put it simply\u2014 it s art. They don t make them like this anymore. Only once in a blue moon do you have an artist give as much as Kimbra does on stage. Thank the stars she came to the U.S. as a headliner. The show was clean, music was well balanced, the band was playing like their life depended on it, and of course miss Kimbra gave a performance nothing short of a superstar. Brava, Miss Kimbra! Did I mention she s drop dead gorgeous\u2026? MT

I had a great time at the show. Kimbra is great live and you can tell she really gets into it. The opening act The Stepkids were cool and seem like nice guys but I'm not a huge fan of their music. The venue itself was a decent size and got crowed pretty quickly. Overall I had a good time and I'd see a show there again. I would definitely see Kimbra live again because she really was amazing.

she is the best artist I have seen live... and she sounds just like the cds!

Kimbra puts on an amazingly fun and entertaining show! She has such a great personality and presence on stage, and I am so glad I got to see the last night of her US tour.

Kimbra was fantastic! Especially since this was the last show on her tour, it astounded me the amount of energy she still had for the whole show. She was adorable as always, and her costume brought another whole element to her performance, it was so flashy! The Stepkids, the opening act, wasn't so great, and I felt people who were on acid might have enjoyed it better, they were rather strange, but not the worst I've ever heard either. I wouldn't go see them separately anyway.

I absolutely loved Kimbra's energry , she played a great set !! Became an even bigger fan seeing her live (she's one of the few singers that actually can sing live - in high heels, I might add). She kept her energy up all the way through ! Webster Hall was pretty packed that night but I can't blame NYC for wanting to see this amazing woman! thumbs up all around for Kimbra ! xo

Kimbra was fantastic...from the energy she delivered in "Two Way Street" to the phenomenal collaboration with The Stepkids during her encore performance of "Call Me"...I was more than pleased. I traveled all the way from Houston, TX to see her in Toronto and brought three others with me who I've recently turned into Kimbra-heads... It was most memorable!

Great show overall. The Step Brothers rocked as the opening act. Kimbra was unforgettable! I would see her again.
