Kim Petras at Avant Gardner (Brooklyn)

Last week was my birthday, and all personal drama from the week aside, I spent the evening of my actual birthday on a dance floor—which is literally all I wanted! I don’t usually write short blogs about my weekends out in Brooklyn, but the Kim Petras concert at Avant Gardner was just so much fun and I wanted to share a little bit from the night out.

Kim Petras was back in Brooklyn this month for her Clarity Tour. I don’t know her exact relationship with the borough, but I think she’s got some strong roots here, because her weekend of sold-out shows at the mega-venue were off the rails!

Her music has been described as a resurgence of bubblegum pop, though her character, and especially her latest album, definitely have darker edges to them. Her lyrics have a way of hitting you in a sweet way but full of force that just makes you want to jump up and down and DANCE. And that’s what I just wanted to do!
