Touring in support of their fourth full-length, 2021’s Screen Violence, Scottish synth-pop heavyweights CHVRCHES stopped by Seattle’s Paramount Theatre, along with opener (and Tiktok darling) Cafuné, for a set that fully delivered on their brand of dark delight. The setlist leaned heavily on new music, which is some of their best, and saved some older hits for a three-song encore. If there’s anything to expect at a CHVRCHES show, it’s a super clean set that will get you head banging and dancing and and yelling along with lead vocalist Lauren Mayberry as she rages against these dark times. A few songs in, she self-deprecated as to how all their songs are sad. Yet, they’re still peppy, with the kind of power that feels high enough to carry everyone over.

As live music has returned to stages in the past few months, new challenges have come with it as artists strive to stay safe and healthy on the road. Shortly before the CHVRCHES concert at the Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom on November 19th, band member Iain Cook tested positive for COVID-19. Despite this unfortunate circumstance, CHVRCHES' touring technician, Dave Simpson, filled in for the night and the show went on.
Opening act, Donna Missal, delivered a soulful and powerful performance that built up anticipation for CHVRCHES' set.
CHVRCHES opened their set with a song from their new album Screen Violence called "He Said She Said" and continued with older songs such as "Forever" and "Leave A Trace". Throughout their performance, CHVRCHES delivered high-energy but also vulnerability with their newer songs such as "Good Girls" and "Final Girl".
CHVRCHES captivated a nearly sold out crowd that night and I am sure fans would agree that Chicago cannot wait to have them back.
