There are some shows that just feel special from the moment you walk in and this past Monday, that was exactly the case when Brigitte Calls Me Baby returned to Café du Nord for a sold-out night in San Francisco.

What made the evening even more exciting was the opening set from New York’s rising band SKORTS. Fresh off the release of their album Incompletement, SKORTS delivered a set that instantly grabbed the crowd. Their performance had an infectious energy with charisma pouring off the stage, matched by a tight chemistry between the band members that made every song feel alive. They treated the audience to several tracks from the new record, each one landing with confidence and style. By the end of their set, it was clear the crowd was fully locked in.

By the time Brigitte Calls Me Baby took the stage, the venue was completely packed, buzzing with anticipation. And from the first note, they didn’t just meet expectations, they kicked them to the curb and elevated them. The band delivered a performance that felt absolutely massive, the kind of sound and presence you’d expect in a arena. Yet here they were, right in front of us, on the intimate stage of Café du Nord. It felt almost like a secret you weren’t supposed to be in on, a rare, electric moment where something huge unfolds in a small room.

The first time we saw Brigitte Calls Me Baby was when they opened for The Last Dinner Party back in 2023 at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. It was our first introduction to them and they absolutely blew us away. There was something undeniable about their performace, the kind that instantly makes you stop and take notice. They are truly on the rise and there is nothing stopping them.

It made Monday night even more special seeing them now headlining their sold out shows and bringing along an opening band like SKORTS, felt like a full circle moment. Just as they once stepped on a stage and won over a crowd as an opener, they’re now giving that same opprtunity to another rising band and that is a really cool thing to witness.

It was one of those nights that reminds you why live music hits so hard; connection, energy, and that undeniable feeling that you’re witnessing something special in real time.
