Live Recap: COIN and Mazie at the Roxian Theatre
ANCHR ventured out to the Roxian Theatre in Pittsburgh to catch COIN’s Rainbow Dreamland tour with opener Mazie. The show was so high energy and so much fun that the floor of the Roxian was literally bouncing. Between the great music, huge energy and a packed house, Sunday in Pittsburgh took on a distinctly Saturday night vibe.
Starting with Mazie, who I can only describe as what would happen if Disney created a pop-punk princess, but in the best way! Her set, backed by two monitors playing the original animated Alice in Wonderland (which may be what triggered the Disney princess comparison?) behind her as she consistently danced, twirled and bounced on the stage. She literally danced right out of her shoes! Music that starts sweet, goes raw and back to pop princess again. Even Mazie was out of breath at times, as was the crowd who were immediately brought up in the raw energy and excitement of her set.
But that was just the start. Mazie certainly set the vibe, but it was up to COIN to keep it going…and they did. The Rainbow Dreamland tour started strong in Pittsburgh with “Into My Arms.” Front man Chase Lawrence sounded fantastic and got the crowd going, dancing, running and singing, taking up every inch of the stage that he could with an almost larger than life presence. From the flashing lights to the infectious dance beats, the show never slowed down. A strong set list ending with an encore featuring “Talk Too Much,” because really, what is a COIN show without their biggest hit (to date)?!
