COIN & Mazie @ Mercury Ballroom - Louisville, KY
On December 4th, Nashville pop-rock band COIN and LA bedroom-pop artist Mazie brought a fun night of music to Mercury Ballroom in Louisville, KY. Having formed in 2012, COIN has developed a loyal following of fans, as evidenced by the sold out crowd this evening! The floor was packed from front to back and from side to side, as well as the balcony area, with a sea of excited fans, bursting with a fun and infectious energy for the evening ahead. Starting the night out was pop artist Mazie, who released her debut single “no friends” in 2020, which exploded online and earned her widespread acclaim and following of fans. She is like a bundle of light and fun-hearted energy on stage, laughing, smiling, and bouncing across the stage as though there is no other place she would rather be. She exudes such a fun energy that it was hard not to feel happy and joyous in her presence, and as she sang her songs, many in the crowd sang along, and those who did not know the words still danced and jumped up and down, enjoying her songs and energy. Chatting with the crowd between songs, whether it was talking about the song meaning, introducing her band, or asking the crowd “Are you a jumping kind of crowd? I guess I’ll have to see for myself”, she no doubt made plenty of new fans this evening and had the crowd ready for COIN!
As COIN came out on stage, the entire crowd exploded into a sea of cheering, screaming, and clapping. Singer Chase Lawrence is a bundle of energy on stage, and had the crowd singing and dancing along from the first lyric sung. With a kaleidoscope of colorful lights throughout the set, to screens at the back of the stage with different colorful scenes and images, their stage production was amazing. With a setlist that included tracks such as “Dreamland Sequence”, “Into My Arms”, “Growing Pains”, “Babe Ruth”, “Crash My Car”, and their brand new single “Chapstick”, the crowd was singing along to every song at the top of their lungs, with a few sing-alongs led by Lawrence throughout the set. Early in the set, Lawrence grabbed a bouquet of yellow flowers from a fan at the barricade, holding the flowers often throughout the night. Towards the end of their set, Lawrence thanked the crowd for making them feel special and told the crowd that the band was in the midst of writing and recording new music for next year! Leaving the stage briefly at the “end” of their set, they came back out saying “You’re still here!”! They ended the set with “Sagittarius Superstar” and “Talk Too Much”, capping off what was an incredible fun evening that left the euphoric energy of the evening lingering long after the music had stopped!
