Pittsburgh lad Montell Fish landed in Melbourne on Friday for the VIC stint of his AUS/NZ Intercession Before Charlotte tour. From the jump, Fish’s performance oozed with raw emotion and vulnerability – the bloke was decked out in moody strobes and a mask, nodding to his alter-ego dj gummy bear, under which he drops tracks too. Throughout the gig, Fish’s pipes were nothing short of ace, each tune packed with powerful yet breathtaking falsetto.
Standout moments were “I Know I Failed You” and “Destroy Me Just for You,” leaving the crowd absolutely stoked. The vibe was electric, with punters cheering and singing along, clearly mesmerised by Fish’s talent and stage presence. The whole night was an absolute ripper, showcasing why Fish is such a standout artist in today’s music scene.
