The Neighborhood Rocks House of Blues

[News]

To kick off the spookiest month of the year, The Neighbourhood provides Boston with eerie and haunting sounds.

IDK, the Neighbourhood’s opener, performed a set of five songs. The rapper walked onto the stage in an all black outfit and a mask. He tried engaging the crowd by attempting to choreograph mosh pit within the right side. The organized chaos of failed, yet the energy remained at a decent level during his set.

IDK has over 625,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. He has collaborated with artists Joey Bada$$, Denzel Curry, Swizz Beatz and Russ. The up and coming rapper exudes aggression and edge. IDK’s most played song, “No Wave (feat. Denzel Curry)”, is a nitty gritty bop.

The Neighbourhood’s latest EP—Ever Changing—features IDK on their track “Beautiful Oblivion.” The sound is reminiscent of 90s hip hop, paired with some modern psychedelic. Overall, the track is trippy, yet the band and their featured artist did not perform the song at the concert!

Rutherford crowdsurfing

Although the Neighbourhood was not able to cover all of the tunes off their latest work, they covered an extremely wide range of their portfolio. Their set opened with an ode to their first album: I Love You. Hits from the early 2010s like “Afraid,” “Alleyways,” and “Female Robbery” rocked the crowd with a wave of fan nostalgia.

Jesse Rutherford, the band’s frontman, had a chain microphone that dangled from the ceiling of the stage. He proceeded to swing with it in between his vocal performance. During Zach Abels’s guitar solo on their track “warm,” the lead singer lost himself on stage. He made loops in mid-air with the mic and spontaneously front-flipped into the audience. Rutherford body surfed over his fans for the length of the guitar solo and made it back to the stage right before it was time to perform their last song, “Stuck With Me.”

The Neighbourhood did not return to the stage to perform an encore. The audience had already gotten more than they paid for.

The band will be kicking off their European tour in London in late January.
