Sunday night at Delmar Hall, Mitski, an artist who self-describes as “music for people who weren’t invited to the party,” sold out Delmar Hall. Opening was 22-year-old indie pop/indie rock artist Melina Duterte, known as Jay Som. NBC News said that the Los Angeles–based artist is “helping indie rock find a diverse voice,” and what started out as a mellow and dreamy show eventually got turned up a notch to a stronger, driving rock. By the time Jay Som played “The Bus Song,” the crowd had come alive.

Mitski, real name Mitski Miyawaki, is one performer who is primed for a bigger stage. And indeed, since the breakout success of her album Puberty 2—named one of the best of 2016 by Rolling Stone, TIME, Pitchfork, The Guardian, Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times, NPR, and SPIN—Mitski has been touring nonstop, most recently opening for Lorde. Catchy, enveloping, dynamic, mesmerizing, she commanded the younger crowd so deftly that at times you felt as if you were the only person in the audience. Songs included “Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart,” “Nobody,” and “Happy.”
