Phoebe Bridgers boygenius reunite for sound check
The magic of a reunion often happens in the quiet spaces, and Phoebe Bridgers proved that with her boygenius bandmates, the sound check was pure, stripped-back magic. Bridgers recently shared an intimate performance at New York’s Cherry Lane Theatre, bringing the emotional weight of their shared history into a powerful acoustic session.
The set was a celebration of shared artistry, featuring an acoustic rendition of “On Video,” a brand new original song penned by Bridgers for the A24 film PRIMETIME. This performance wasn’t just a concert; it felt like an extended conversation, weaving the narrative of their shared creative world with raw, unfiltered vocals.
Joining Bridgers and her bandmates Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus, the trio tackled a compelling three-song set. Alongside the newly released “On Video,” they also performed “Haunted” and “Lost Boys,” demonstrating the deep, interconnected sonic tapestry that defines boygenius.
This special session was part of the ongoing Sound Check at Cherry Lane Theatre series, a collaborative project brought to life by A24, A24 Music, and the Cherry Lane Theatre. The series has already set a high bar, joining previous intimate performances from artists like Tame Impala and Blood Orange, all available on A24’s YouTube channel.
Bridgers’ involvement in the film world is equally compelling. She made her acting debut in PRIMETIME, directed by Lance Oppenheim. Her original track, “On Video,” plays over the film’s end credits, providing a poignant sonic extension to Ari Balouzian’s noir-inspired score and further embedding the music into the movie’s atmosphere.
The film itself, starring Robert Pattinson as To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen, is currently rolling out into U.S. theaters, with international releases scheduled soon. This cinematic momentum fuels Bridgers’ career as she navigates her latest projects.
While balancing creative pursuits, Bridgers is currently embarking on a phone-free arena tour in support of her latest album, Lost Weekend. This tour keeps the focus firmly on her music while she continues to explore new creative avenues.
The artistic energy is only growing. Bridgers is already positioned as a major cultural force, announced as a potential headliner for the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona in 2027, underscoring her place at the forefront of contemporary music.
