Julien’s half smile, half snarl before joining in “always an angel, never a god” is everything, like she knows something amazing is about to happen that you don’t know yet but are about to find out. Whoever was in charge of picking the camera feeds needs a raise.

Hmm.. Looked like a ghoul to me. Did you see where her face changed shape further along in the song. I loved their music and this song, but the more I read about them, the more they seem demonic. This performance pretty much confirmed it for me. Then to see they wrote a song called Satanist...they sold their souls.

They all bring something a little different to the table, but IMO, Lucy has the best voice, Julien is the best lyricist (though Lucy isn't far behind) and the the best instrumentalist (not just guitar but anything she touches, but especially on guitar) and Phoebe, is the best arranger/compositionist (is compositionist even a word? probably not). I'm basing this actually on their solo work as it's impossible to separate the songs they sing together. But I'd like to say all of them are extremely talented across the board.

I got so teary watching this. Growing up in the 2000's there was so rarely this kind of mainstream representation of queer women joyfully, unabashedly railing on guitars, slamming drums, feeling all their feelings and having it be a superpower not a hinderance. Their performance was entirely for them, no hint of deference to the male gaze. Feels amazing to witness.

Those three are awesome, beautiful unaffected voices, just a killer song to play to. It took seven talented people on that stage to rock so hard. Who really killed on the SNL stage?

Just a superb performance and a very clever nod to The Beatles' first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show (Feb. 9, 1964). They're wearing the matching suits and Beatle boots, and SNL copied the stage set from that memorable Sunday night. Capitol Records used a photo of the band on the Sullivan show for the cover of their album, "Something New," released in July of 1964.
