In addition to her cover of 'The Biggest Lie', Sophie Allison debuts a handful of new songs at the latest gig
Soccer Mommy welcomed guest Phoebe Bridgers to the stage Tuesday during her concert in Los Angeles, with the duo performing Elliott Smith's “The Biggest Lie.”
Taking the stage at the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Soccer Mommy (aka Sophie Allison) and the Bridgers first reminisced about their 2018 tour together before launching into their performance from Smith's 1995 self-titled LP.
Since the release of Soccer Mommy's third album Sometimes, forever in 2022, Allison was on a series of cover releases, which she collected for her 2023 EP Karaoke night; that five-track release featured covers of Sheryl Crow's “Soak Up the Sun” and Taylor Swift's “I'm Only Me When I'm With You” along with covers of songs by Pavement, Slowdive and REM
Allison is in the midst of a short four-date tour where – via shows in New York and Los Angeles – she debuted songs from an album likely destined for her next LP. These tracks include “M”, “Skin”, “Lost”, “Salt in Wound”, “Evergreen” and “Driver” (all debuted at the Queens, New York concert, where he also covered “I 'm” by Bruce Springsteen on Fire”), as well as live premieres of 'Abigail', 'Changes' and 'Thinking of You' at last night's concert in Los Angeles.
Soccer Mom's short tour continues on June 7th in Chicago and wraps up on June 9th in Nashville, after which she will embark on a European tour this summer.
