[Event] ARTMS courageous the ‘chilly’ for his or her Moonshot Tour in San Francisco – Asian Junkie

Throughout Haseul’s solo elements within the 2024 ARTMS Moonshot World Tour, she talked about how surprisingly chilly San Francisco was. The gang checked out her in confusion, together with myself, as a result of all of us thought it was really hotter than standard. She was greatly surprised by the viewers response as nicely, saying that she solely packed quick sleeved clothes.

This was a cute second that caught out to me, just because I used to be in San Francisco on a enterprise journey, and the final time I used to be within the space was 2021. It was chilly again then, so I did the alternative factor Haseul did, and packed lengthy sleeve garments, solely to only sweat by them as a result of metropolis’s hotter climate that week. Nonetheless, ARTMS managed to maintain the gang cool with a mixture of somber and thrilling songs.

The group opened with “Beginning,” choosing a extra dramatic begin than one thing explosive. The tone continued with “The Hitchhiker’s Information to the Galaxy” and “Misery.” All through the set, the ladies have been enveloped in darkish and purple colours from the display screen behind them, flashing clips of clocks, area, and stars. It actually helped immerse the viewers with the spacey vibe and matched the ladies’ jet black apparel. The present acquired a bit extra intense with “Flower Rhythm” after which cooled down a bit with the eccentric “Butterfly Impact.”

After the primary 5 songs, the group began doing their solos and sub-units. Haseul sang her digital singles, the jazzy “Plastic Sweet” and “Let Me In”, and it was between these two songs was when she spoke about San Francisco’s climate. Following her got here Heejin who opened with a canopy of Avril Lavigne’s “Girlfriend,” rocking a guitar as nicely. She additionally sang her personal digital single, “Algorithm”, and total introduced a way more upbeat type of vitality than what the live performance had to this point.

Then, Kim Lip, Choerry, and Jinsoul of Odd Eye Circle carried the vitality from Heejin’s performances with “Je Ne Sais Quoi” and “Air Drive One.”

After these two songs, ARTMS shaped again collectively to carry out a canopy of Taylor Swift’s “Merciless Summer time,” in addition to just a few songs from their days as LOONA, together with as “Fashionable” and “Satellite tv for pc.”

ARTMS then closed the present with their very own songs, reminiscent of “Sweet Crush,” “Unf/Air,” “Air,” and “Sparkle.” In fact, the group needed to finish on their hottest track, “Digital Angel.”

Actually, the one criticism I had of this present was that ARTMS got here out for an encore, however solely carried out a canopy of “So What.” The women really got here out with cute informal outfits, full with white skirts and black t-shirts, however all that effort for only one track? I suppose I can’t actually complain as a result of the remainder of the present main as much as it was strong.

For a smaller group, ARTMS is lucky to have LOONA songs to fall again on in case they wanted to pad out the setlist a bit, however the solo and sub-unit teams have been additionally fairly pleasant as nicely. I by no means acquired the prospect to go see a present when LOONA was nonetheless collectively, however I’m glad I used to be capable of see them as ARTMS.
