If you haven’t witnessed UPSAHL live, now is the perfect time. This female act is about to be major, and if her recorded music is not already any indication of that, then her live performance is absolute proof. And we couldn’t have thought of anyone better to open Max Frost’s show at The Riot Room on Monday, March 11th.

Rolling through . And during “All My Friends Are Rich”, you could tell the entire crowd was identifying with the lyrics in some way or another. (Hi. Yes. “Now where in the hell is my money?”) In fact, we were thrilled to see her perform any of the tracks off of her new Hindsight 20/20 EP, as it is such a vulnerable and theatrical work of art. Lucky us, UPSAHL’s vocals are just as raspy and enticing in real life as they are recorded, so her entire performance felt as though we were inside the EP itself. Not to mention, “Drugs” gave us all the confidence.

We walked away from that set to the bar like the badasses we had always dreamt of being, and we owe it all to an evening of fun with UPSAHL.

Keep up with the artist here.

It’s been a few days since UPSAHL released her music video for “Drugs”, but we figured today was the perfect day to chat about it. As she assures us she’s “not tryin’ to make a friend or fall in love,” we’re giggling at the quirky nature of the song, while simultaneously moving to the smooth instrumentals. The Arizona native possesses a soulfulness to her vocals that is enviable, and we would be lying if we told you this wasn’t going on our new party playlist. Plus the video is shot so beautifully, it makes us feel like going back to our youth and partying more than we allowed ourselves to before.
