Live Shots: Empress Of extended her electropop reign at The Chapel’s Portola Fest afterparty

'For Your Consideration': a producer-performer-label boss in her prime, amping up SF crowds.

No one can say that Empress Of fans went hungry on her pass through the Bay in late September. First, she delivered a crushing daytime set at a Portola Fest that went hard, even sans crowd-level wifi. Then, the electropop doyenne popped up at The Chapel for a nocturnal show with support from LA producer Casey MQ—and all that after she played Vegas just the night before. For Your Consideration (as in the title of her fourth album, which she executive-produced released on her own label Major Arcana): a driven Californian performer with a clear-eyed view of musical futures and the industry’s present horizons. Her pounding nighttime presentation got the audience’s hips working hard—but not as hard as Empress Of.
