Jane Remover finds magic in the brazen. Since crashing onto the scene in 2021 with “homeswitcher”—an instant hit on SoundCloud—Jane has remained a flashcube for a futuristic, unhinged style of genre cross-pollination that seemingly evolves by the minute and resists any categorization. Given their penchant for musical shapeshifting, it’s not unreasonable then, as you walk into the venue they’re playing at, to wonder what version of Jane you’ll be getting that night.

Forget your pre-set hypeman; nothing riles up a crowd quite like a man taking a loud commercial vacuum up and down a stage carpet. Such were the moments before half•alive graced the stage—preceded only by an appearance from the muppet creatures from Persona’s cover art— for a performance that is just as much bubbly as it is pensive, exploring what it means to be human as they do on much of their new album, .

Opening track ‘Tears in My Pocket’, with its distorted, techno-pop, middle-of-dance-floor vibe, certainly calls for a full-throttle show, and she’s selling it. Taking the stage by storm after a 60-second countdown screen that glared saucy remakes of religious SALVATION billboards and flashes of “Friday’s” most ridiculous lyrics, Rebecca Black is going all out— she’s shuffling left, wiggling right, spinning round-and-round on a wheeled platform— and she has the glistening beats to back her up.

Flore Laurentienne is a timeless work of art. The Montreal-based string quartet, helmed by Mathieu David Gagnon, is all about finding beauty in the simple.

Held almost yearly in Brooklyn by NYC nightlife tour de force Ladyfag, this iteration was her biggest soiree yet—three stages full of both underground artists and seasoned pop royalty, a commingling of cultural mainstays and folks you’d find playing an irresistible warehouse party.

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."Healthy ice cream? We can't blame you for giving the category the side-eye. After all, can low-cal varieties really taste as good as the full-fat kind? Can their texture even come close? Despite lingering skepticism, there are a ton of low-cal ice cream competitors out there and it's hard to know which ones are worth stashing in your freezer—and which ones should be chucked straight in the trash.
