Nice As Fuck @ August Hall

Post Author: Greg Chow

Ten years after the surprise release of their self-titled debut, Nice As Fuck–The power trio supergroup of Jenny Lewis, Erika Spring, and Tennessee Thomas–is back and out of tour to celebrate their 10th anniversary. After kicking of their short run of shows in Pasadena, the trio headed north for a show at San Francisco’s August Hall on October 18th, playing “in the round” with a small stage set up in the middle of the floor, surrounded by the extremely enthusiastic crowd. Entering to the theme song of the 80s glam cartoon Jem, the trio’s short-but-sweet set saw them play the entirety of their Nice As Fuck LP (re-released after being long out of print), plus a medley of “Can I Kick It?” by Tribe Called Quest, “When Doves Cry” by Prince, and “Pink Frost” by The Chills. Then a brief dance party on stage, and the trio (plus opening DJ Alix Brown on bass guitar) danced off the stage to end the 40-minute set.
