Claire Rosinkranz encapsulated what can only be described as “weird-cool girl pop” as she took the stage at The Crocodile on Monday night. Donning a boho Stevie Nicks style dress, she spun onstage, sometimes shamelessly clumsy, singing with a sarcastic yet heartfelt tone. Spoken interludes were delivered over the loudspeaker during transitions between parts of Rosinkranz’s set. She opened up about her struggles with chronic illness over the past few years. This allowed her to take breaks from the upbeat viral tracks, such as “Don’t Miss Me” and “Backyard Boy” and sit down to sing songs like “Funeral” with live guitar accompaniment. She led chants throughout the night and handed out photos. Her keyboard playing quieted the energy for a couple songs until the beat picked up in each one. A large line formed at the end of her act as she announced a meet and greet by her merch table.

Opener Stevie Bill had a similar sound but was a 180 from Rosinkranz in clothing style, wearing a baby tee with a corset layered on top. Originally from Amsterdam, Bill spoke in a charming accent and sang with a likewise voice. She sang mostly upbeat songs. The highlight of her set was a cover of the Prince song “Purple Rain”, which recently went viral following an inclusion in the latest season of the TV show Stranger Things. The audience erupted in cheers as she sang the first few lines. Bill wished the crowd a happy pride month. She too followed her set with a meet and greet.
