Origami Angel | Atlanta, GA
Making a grand entrance, Origami Angel, Pool Kids, and Insignificant Other took The Masquerade in Atlanta by storm on Saturday, November 12th. Around 8PM, Insignificant Other took the stage. The indie-pop band from Birmingham, Alabama had everyone in the crowd dancing. The lead singer brought their cute outfit to the party, jumping and dancing along with the crowd. Although their synth ended up having a problem halfway through the set, no one could tell the difference since the energy of the crowd was there in abundance instead.
Pool Kids were next and undoubtedly delivered. They started the night strong with “Conscious Uncoupling”, which was well received by the crowd. Christine Goodwyne, the lead vocalist/guitarist for the band, made sure everyone was active by asking them to crowdsurf, which led to some chaos. Security had to make their way to the photo pit due to the crowd becoming a sea of crowd surfers. As their set came to a close, everyone was getting ready for what was to come next.
When Origami Angel walked on stage, the crowd went ballistic. Opening with “24 Hr Drive-Thru” made the crowd erupt into chaos; the crowd echoed every word. Vocalist/guitarist Ryland Heagy could not be caught standing still. Smiles were caught on everyone’s faces, especially Ryland’s. Drummer Pat Doherty put on a fantastic show, filling ears with remarkable percussion.
Certain songs brought the crowd to a whole new level. “Tom Holland Oates”, “Footloose Cannonball Brothers”, and “Self-Destruct” were ones that had the entire room screaming. Towards the end of the set, Ryland made sure to comment “I’m being honest, I think this is the best fucking show all tour,” causing the crowd to erupt into applause and cheers. For their first headlining tour, Origami Angel delivered.
