Superstar Rock artiste, Phoebe Bridgers held audience spellbound with her breathtaking musical performance on last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live. The super dexterous indie guitarist/singer treated teeming viewers to a live renditions of “Kyoto” and “I Know the End”. Both songs appeared on Bridgers’ Grammy-nominated ‘Punisher’ studio album (“Kyoto” is also in the running for “Best Rock Song”).
Fitted in their trademark skeleton outfits, Bridgers and her band grooved their way through the opening performance of “Kyoto” to kick off her SNL debut. The music charged forward thanks to the added help from a small horns section which came alive during the chorus lines to add some color alongside the slightly-distorted guitars.
For her second performance of the night with “I Know the End”, Bridgers returned to the stage having swapped out her skeleton-inspired outfit for a black dress covered in pearls to match the song’s more gently, melancholy-sounding intro.
Bridgers and her band played their way through the indie ballad while the music continued its gradual crescendo to reach its way to a satisfying, garage rock climax, with Phoebe Bridgers even going so far as to lay waste to her guitar by the song’s end.
