Hiding from the rain and getting cosy at Babushka was the place to be on Friday night as Melbourne’s Banoffee performed the W.A leg of her I’m Not Sorry tour. The intimate gig began with Perth local support act Kopano whose glitchy pop tunes set the mood for what was to come.
Banoffee came on stage with little fuss, her aesthetic blending laid back yet detailed 80’s and 90’s futuristic styles- a reflection of her music it would appear. After a few minor technical issues, Banoffee got the crowd shaking and swaying to her melodic RnB laced tracks. She effortlessly utilised the synths and blended beats while singing smooth melodies. Songs Ninja and With Her brought dreamy electro pop into the bar whilst Let’s Go To The Beach provoked dancey fun with a more upbeat tempo. What Banoffee’s performance lacked in length it made up for in substance, oozing cool and pulling the audience into the atmospheric production. Like a ninja Martha snuck off stage and chatted to some of her fans. With her humble nature I’m sure everyone in the room wanted to be her best friend!
