People started lining up outside Rickshaw Stop hours before doors opened for Tom Misch's debut show in San Francisco Friday November 11th! Some of them even claimed to have paid over $100 for tickets on stub-hub because the Popscene Presents show to see the young rising star had sold-out so quick! Talk about one hot ticket!

The vibe that night was less new-wave/indie with DJ Aaron Axelsen spinning more trendy R&B than what's usually heard at Popscene. It segued nicely to the opener, Chris McClenney who announced his would be DJ set due to a sore-throat.

When the young Londoner went on around 11:00, he received his warm welcome to the small stage humbly; graciously thanking his kind and respectful San Francisco fans through a sincere smile. They un-intrusively jammed out indie-rock from his LP, Beat Tape 2 and his Reverie EP. Heavy with various strings, laying bass, guitar and violin chords with underlying new-soul beats. The frontman beamed in disbelief of the turn out and the reaction as the crowd cheered them on before and after each song. Cool and collected, the guys were concentrated as they played and fans gently sang along.
It had been a little bit since seeing a Popscence show as packed as it was for Tom Misch and it was notably profound to see a full house for such young, new talent!

Aaron Axelsen did what he does best once again! Packing people in to see the latest and greatest new artist before they break big, or in this case bigger, at Popscene!
