Wichita showed up for Rae Sremmurd, and packed the house on a Sunday night, no less. The very diverse crowd reflected the broad appeal of this duo that is among the hottest raps groups out there right now. We arrived just in time for the duo to hit stage, and it was obvious the crowd was all ready oiled up and ready for the main draw.
The duo didn’t disappoint. They played all the songs we wanted to hear. Their energy fed the crowd’s energy. The crowd was into it, so much so that they even had us hugging each other.
“Put your arm around the shoulder of the person to your left, now to your right and sway”, they told us. And almost everyone did, appropriately to the song “Swang.” It was one of those concert moments you’ll always remember.
Then it was time for the mannequin challenge, since their song “Black Beatles” is forever tied to the challenge. “Ya’ll know what to do,” they said, and their camera men came down into the crowd. “Wichita is going to be famous for 24 hours,” and the duo promised to post the video on their Instagram. When we checked, the videos weren’t up, but friends say the duo delivered on their promise and Wichita was blasted to the world.
We loved every minute of this concert. This earns nothing but thumbs up.
I was lucky enough to see Trinia about a year ago when she was in Wichita at Club Bounce predecessor Pandora, so I knew what to expect and was excited about delivering. Made sure I didn’t eat too much at our gobble meal, so I wouldn’t do what we’re known for – getting full, happy and sleepy – and miss the show. I was feeling so peppy, I actually arrived early while there was still room to walk around. But it wasn’t long before the club was poppin’.
Her performance was to tracts, but that was okay, the crowd had her back. In fact, Trinia just turned the mic to us, and the crowd took charge, providing our most perfect Kelly Rowland impersonation. “Here we go, Here we go again,” another fine evening at Club Bounce.
