Rina Sawayama - Hold The Girl

I cannot for the life of me find pricing for the tickets for the Aus dates. Spare a thought for your broke fans please Ms Sawayama. The cost of living crisis got me good.

 

They’re $71 in Melbourne, so imagine it’s similar across the board.

 

Considering I spent AUD $140 for Billie’s concert… $71 doesn’t sound too bad honestly.

 

Hurricanes leaked in a very low quality

 

@gays just rip the bandaid off. A week and a half of processing the material as a whole will also probably be enough time for naysayers to be swayed in the same way that a lot of the initial skepticism over SAWAYAMA went away when hearing it as a whole.

Hurricanes is the lost Kelly Clarkson / The Veronicas track I always needed and a lot of the weaknesses of it in a live setting are gone in studio form.

The clip of Frankenstein also weirdly gives early P!ATD energy.

 

Serving vocals (as always) on Hurricanes.

 

Love the new stuff but this is too funny

 

The way only "This Hell" is like that lyrically. Her social media posts, however

 

Either Rina got her timezones mixed up when she announced the pre-sale date or the pre-sales have been pushed back another day because LiveNation is listing them as the 7th (tomorrow in Australia)... this is really annoying because I had the day off today and wouldn't have to contend with my work building's shitty reception to try and get a ticket.

 

yes queen slay etc

 

If you're looking to get tickets for her Aus shows you can get them on Moshtix now if you use rinapre as the promo code! $71 a pop. We love an economical queen.

Spoiler

I got tickets for the Sydney show and the last time I was at that venue I was seeing... 3OH!3....

 

The choreo is so good to this. As a piece, they really did this number justice. Also those boots are amazing.

I KNEW there was a reason to hold off buying it. I haven't purchased something so fast, she is stunning.

 

Oh she’s gonna drop covers with all the other images on them isn’t she. I noticed she posted a green variant we don’t have the other day.

 

I adore the single artwork for "Hold The Girl", so I had to snag this variant. Thanks for sharing the link!

 

15 minutes and the blue is out of stock.

 

I hate her.
