McKenzi Iazzetta of Trophy Wife

Trophy Wife were live in New York with their first album, Get Ugly, at Mercury Lounge on Saturday, May 11.

With their debut album, this charismatic indie band from Brooklyn immediately captured the audience’s attention. They have a sound that draws its roots from grunge infuse with a touch of modernity, that leaves no room for distractions.

Led by McKenzie Iazzetta, the band took the stage around 8:30 p.m. As she struck the first chord on her metallic light blue guitar, the crowd went wild. Trophy Wife’s energy was contagious, radiating a powerful presence. The audience couldn’t stay still, caught up in the raw and electric moment.

The powerful show ended with a performance within the performance. The singer, stepping away from the microphone, claimed the stage as her own, collapsing to the ground during the final notes of “Leech,” the last song. A moment of pure passion.

At the end of the show, the audience moved toward the band, hoping for a hug or even just a smile. The four musicians, still at the beginning of their journey, made their way to the merch stand to connect with fans and share the emotions of the night with as many people as possible.

The band’s chemistry was evident throughout the night. Each member brought their unique energy to the stage, creating a dynamic performance that felt both personal and powerful. The crowd responded in kind, singing along to every song and fueling the band’s passion. For Trophy Wife, this was just the beginning of a journey that promises to deliver more memorable moments.
