Since boygenius took home a few Grammy Awards this February, Phoebe Bridgers has had some down time. This week, she joined Conor Oberst onstage at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles for a couple of songs, reuniting as the duo the two performed as throughout 2019, Better Oblivion Community Center.
There have been a few instances of Bridgers and Oberst getting the band back together since moving on from the project, but the most recent was a virtual performance in 2020 for the Save Our Stages project, making this the first time they’ve performed together in four years.
All taking place during the encore of Oberst’s show, the two brought out Better Oblivion Community Center track “My City” in addition to a duet version of Bright Eyes classic “Lua.” They then closed out the night with “Double Life,” a cut off Oberst’s 2014 solo album.
Right now, Oberst is in the midst of an aptly named Los Angeles residency, “Conor Oberst and Friends,” which will head to New York’s Bowery Ballroom in April to welcome more special guests to the stage (get tickets here). Meanwhile, Phoebe Bridgers contributed to the soundtrack for the buzzy upcoming A24 film, I Saw the TV Glow.
