Austin got a double dose of feel-good vibes on November 6, 2024, when Lovelytheband and MOD SUN rolled into Emo’s as part of the Here’s Your Flowers Tour. The night was a whirlwind of high energy, catchy anthems, and heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics, leaving the packed crowd smiling, singing, and dancing all the way through.
MOD SUN: The Ultimate Energy Booster
Kicking off the night, MOD SUN took the stage, and the mood shifted to full throttle. Known for his genre-blending style that mixes pop-punk, hip-hop, and emo vibes, MOD SUN brought the fire, pumping up the crowd with tracks like “Hotel Lights” and “I Remember Way Too Much.” His presence was magnetic—bounding across the stage with infectious enthusiasm and jumping into the crowd at every opportunity. The crowd went wild as soon as he started performing “Flames” and “Same Way,” and it was clear that his unapologetic energy was exactly what everyone needed.
The vibe was equal parts rock show and party, with MOD SUN connecting with his fans on a personal level. Between songs, he was candid, talking about his journey and the importance of staying true to yourself. At one point, he even paused to dedicate “Rich Kids Ruin Everything” to anyone who’s ever been told they don’t belong, giving the room a massive sense of unity and empowerment.
MOD SUN’s set was the kind of performance that made you feel like you were part of something bigger than just a concert. It was chaotic in the best way—complete with crowd surfing, spontaneous moments, and a nonstop barrage of feel-good anthems. By the time the crowd belted out “Karma” together, it was clear: the energy was at an all-time high.
What made this show especially fun was the seamless transition between the two artists. Lovelytheband brought the introspective vibes, and MOD SUN turned it up to 11 with his electric energy. Together, they created the perfect contrast—offering a night that could swing from anthemic singalongs to crowd-pumping highs in the blink of an eye. It was the ultimate emotional rollercoaster: one minute you’re swaying to a dreamy ballad, the next, you’re fist-pumping to a hyped-up anthem.
Lovelytheband: Sunshine and Sadness in Equal Measure
After a brief interlude, Lovelytheband brought their signature blend of indie pop and feel-good melancholy to the stage. The California trio—led by frontman Mitchy Collins—came out with their classic charm, lighting up the venue with hits like “These Are My Friends” and “Make You Feel Pretty.”
It didn’t take long for the crowd to get fully on board with the band’s vibe. Their sound is effortlessly catchy, with upbeat rhythms and infectious hooks that mask the more introspective, sometimes bittersweet lyrics. Collins’ smooth vocals had a way of cutting through the room, whether he was singing about love, friendship, or self-doubt. It was that perfect mix of joyful tunes with just a hint of melancholy—kind of like your favorite song you can’t help but dance to, even though it tugs at your heart.
“Coachella” was a standout moment, with the entire crowd singing along to every word. Lovelytheband’s live show is the kind of set where it’s impossible not to get caught up in the energy. The vibe was laid-back yet emotionally charged—like a big group hug with a few catchy beats thrown in for good measure.
The vibe in Emo’s was like a big, euphoric catharsis. People were singing at the top of their lungs, dancing like no one was watching, and just living in the moment. Lovelytheband and MOD SUN aren’t just musicians—they’re mood-makers, and they know how to make you feel something.
The Here’s Your Flowers Tour was an unforgettable combination of indie-pop sweetness and raw, unfiltered energy. Lovelytheband and MOD SUN brought their A-game, delivering a show that was emotionally charged, unapologetically fun, and full of surprises. Emo’s felt like one big celebration—of music, of life, and of finding your people.
