seen at the dive bar on 4th: the neon hex frontwoman is currently taking her own mic apart with a butter knife.

stumbled into that dingy pub off the main strip tonight and realized why she has that 'volatile' rep. the place was dead quiet, then she walks in, ignores the bar, sits at the corner table, and just starts systematically dismantling a vintage microphone with a dull butter knife she brought from home. she hasn't looked up in two hours. just staring at the wires like it’s a bomb she’s trying to diffuse. is this a soundcheck, a mental breakdown, or just a Tuesday for her?

is that ? she looks way smaller than she does on stage when she's not terrorizing the crowd.

Reply to spotted_central: definitely her. the bangs don't lie.

i thought she was supposed to be the one smashing things, not fixing them? this feels way too calm to be legit.

Reply to london_vibe_check: maybe she's not fixing it. maybe she's checking for a bug.

if that's a classic shure sm58 she's gutting, that's a waste of a good mic. why not just smash it like a normal rockstar?

seen this before. she gets like this when the gig goes too smoothly and she can't find a reason to flip out.

wait, is the mic actually broken or is she just bored?

it's the absolute lack of eye contact for me. she looks like she's in another dimension.

poor marcus must be crying somewhere if she’s left her post-show duties to go play engineer in a dive bar.

honestly? that’s just how she preps. heard she gets weirdly quiet when she’s trying to figure something out she can't yell at.
