ACL 2024: DeathbyRomy

Sunday at 12:10pm. 5 bands on at this time. Local singer Chief Cleopatra is playing the big stage near Barton Springs. We saw her at Antone's. I remember liking her sound. Also playing is gospel group The Levites on the Tito's stage. I think they play that slot every year.

Per Wikipedia:

Romy Flores (born 19 December 1999), known professionally as DeathbyRomy, is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began performing music professionally at age 15. Since her debut LP Monsters came out in 2018, Flores has released three studio albums, with the most recent one being 2022's Entropy. She is most known for her 2019 single "Problems", amassing over 60 million streams on Spotify following its success on the video-hosting service TikTok.

She is compared to Zola Jesus. She's going for the goth crowd.

"I Don't Believe in Anything" fits right into that theme.

"Torture" is a little different. More dub/techno. It highlights her voice a little better.

This was her big hit.
