Live Shots: K.Flay’s return knocked out the Independent

The local favorite matched the pugilistic rock tone of her new album "Mono" with a power-packed performance.

Bay Area favorite K.Flay has come a long way from her star-making indie hip-hop sound in the 2000s—latest album Mono confronts her 2022 diagnosis of labyrinthitis and subsequent total deafness in her right ear, and takes a harder, rockier, more direct turn than her earlier work. For two sold out nights at the Independent, she put her all into a power-packed performance, boxing gloves included.
