Phoebe Bridgers headlines at Best Fit's Great Escape showcase 2018
Returning to Brighton’s Komedia for another year, The Line of Best Fit’s stage of hand-picked talent was one not to be missed.
Those that didn’t get down early missed out as the one-in-one-out queue was flush with eager fans. Those that did make it in witnessed Sportsman’s smooth Scandinavian stylings, Mavi Phoenix’s luminous pop party, Nilüfer Yanya’s pop-soul and a heart-melting set from Phoebe Bridgers - her first ever full band show in the UK. Bridgers and her band, all dressed in black and white, took the audience on a tour of ‘Stranger in the Alps’ with many songs reworked for stage (“Thanks for singing along to the slowcore version of that song”) and a solo cover or Tom Petty’s ‘It’ll All Work Out’.
