Dallas, TX - Last Sunday marked one of the coldest nights Dallas has seen so far this year, but inside Club Dada, LAUNDRY DAY brought the heat with a performance bursting with excitement and energy. The Deep Ellum venue was packed to the brim for the fourth-to-last stop on the band’s “The Time of Your Life Tour” — launched to accompany their latest release, Earworm. The four-member ensemble made living up to the tour’s title look easy. Despite only being in their early 20s, LAUNDRY DAY has been releasing music since 2018, back when they first met as freshmen in high school. Since then, they’ve released six albums, gone viral on TikTok, and collaborated with artists such as Clairo, Neon Trees, and Malcolm Todd. As they’ve grown, so has their sound; however, they still maintain a youthful energy evident in their quirky lyricism and amusing onstage antics.

WHATMORE, a music collective from New York City, opened the night. The five members — Cisco Swank, Yoshi T, Jackson August, $eb (Cebu), and Elijah Judah — share a background similar to the headliners. Meeting in high school, the quintet formed strong relationships, with their common passion for music elevating them to their current status. The group’s genre-blending sound incorporated elements of hip-hop, indie rock, and alt R&B to create addictive beats. The audience, clearly already big fans of WHATMORE, matched word-for-word the lyrics to rap-heavy tracks such as “chicken shop date,” “jackie chan,” and “eastside w my dogs.”

After a quick stage turnaround and the band’s instruments rolling out, a wave of anticipation rippled through the crowd. By 9 p.m., LAUNDRY DAY launched into their opening track, “R U READY.” The choice couldn’t have been more fitting, as vocalist Jude Ciulla-Lipkin’s call of “Are you ready? / Ready for the time of your life?” echoed throughout the room. Fans shouted the lyrics back as if asking the band the same question, and in that moment, the mood became a shared message of encouragement between the band and the audience for the night ahead.

A lack of a barrier between the stage and the audience created numerous opportunities for fan interaction. Vocalist and drummer Sawyer Nunes expressed the group’s fondness towards Dallas, noting that their first show outside of NYC happened to be just two buildings down.

During “ALIEN,” Ciulla-Lipkin and bassist Henry Pearl happily received a pair of alien sunglasses to match the theme, and those who had waited outside the venue long before the group arrived were rewarded for their dedication with the chance to select the surprise song, “Did You Sleep Last Night?”

The night was filled with catchy hooks and musical dexterity as the band transitioned between pop-rock, boyband-esque tracks, and stripped acoustic arrangements. Nunes was a notable standout, moving seamlessly between drums, piano, and guitar while contributing lead vocals. Pearl and his name twin, guitarist Henry Weingartner, kept the crowd lively with headbanging riffs and playful exchanges.

By the time the concert had run its course, no one in the room showed any signs of tiring. Eager chants for an encore prompted the members to return to the stage once again. The setlist concluded with “SEE YOU IN ANOTHER LIFE” and a snippet of Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes’ “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life,” proving that this was a concert crafted with intention from start to finish. LAUNDRY DAY had dedicated itself to delivering a performance that would ensure fans could experience “the time of their lives.” They created a warm atmosphere, allowing for close connection and pure enjoyment, where outside problems disappeared at the door. With a balance of artistry and youthful, unfiltered fun, the night felt effortlessly enjoyable, leaving fans with a memory sure to last.
