The queer femme rock trio has had quite the year since their last visit to the Capital Region. They’ve opened for Spoon Benders, released four music videos, and brought back cassettes? Razor Braids released six singles, five of which ended up on their sophomore album ‘Big Wave.’ They are a talented group of musicians who bring a unique vibe and visual to indie rock.

Though they were the headliner, in typical No Fun fashion, they did not close out the show. They were the second of 3 acts to take the stage. Razor Braids dawned their signature all red outfits for this show. They played a 45 minute set to a modest crowd of about 50 young adults. There was great chemistry displayed on stage between the band members.

Notable moments was in an anecdote before playing “JR” lead vocalist and bassist, Hollye Bynum, said the song was about “a s***ty dude” she once dated. A person in the crowd then yelled out “we are all someone’s s***ty dude,” which brought about great laughter among the crowd. Before the end of their set, the members of Razor Braids celebrated the birthday of their drummer Brian.
