RECAP: Japanese Breakfast at Thalia Hall

Last week, Japanese Breakfast began their two-part residency at Thalia Hall, playing two sold out shows at the Pilsen venue on September 15th and 16th. The shows took place during Japanese Breakfast’s tour in support of the 2021 album Jubilee.

The setlist heavily focused on songs from the new album, but we also got to hear Michelle Zauner and her bandmates expand upon their sound in reimagined favorites like “Everybody Wants To Love You” and “Road Head.” An elaborate backdrop of multi-colored light discs added an additional layer to the show’s production, yet it never overpowered the authentic roots of the performance.

If you missed out on the first run of shows, Japanese Breakfast will be back at Thalia Hall on October 11th and 12th. Check out photos of the September 16th show below, and snag your own copy of Jubilee here.
