Kill Hannah @ Masquerade (Hell). Fri., Aug. 1.
Androgynous-voiced frontman Mat Devine kicked off Chicago quintet Kill Hannah’s set with “Boys and Girls.” Devine commanded the stage, sprinkling sugary-goth tunes with odd orders — including a sporting-event-worthy wave. The appreciative crowd, which ranged in age from teens to an unlikely 40-plus set, happily obliged his requests. After an almost two year absence, fans enjoyed standout tracks including “Kennedy” and “Lips Like Morphine.” The light box and laser-fused stage spectacle entertained — even during yet-to-be-released track “Acid Rain” — as the fog-filled hotbox erupted into a dancehall.
