Catfish & The Bottlemen | Milwaukee, WI

Indie rock band Catfish and the Bottlemen are currently on their fall U.S. tour accompanied by July Talk. Due to traffic, I missed all but the last song of the opening band’s set; I can only assume they were a big hit based on the crowd’s energy afterward. Fortunately, I made it in time to see Catfish. They opened up with their hit single “Longshot” off their 2019 album The Balance. This was my first time seeing the Welsh four-piece live and I was downright in awe. They continued with songs from their entire discography, including: “Cocoon,” “2all,” “7,” and many more! This band has an astonishing stage presence. Along with their pure musical talent, the stage setup showed another artistic dimension the band brought forth. They brought their lighting and displayed different features with it throughout their set. It’s safe to say that everyone in attendance was inevitably captured by their etherealness.
