Listen to Japanese Breakfast cover Dolly Parton, play most of ‘Jubilee’ in their final night at Union Transfer
Philly-rooted indie rock faves Japanese Breakfast set a hometown record last night when they headlined their fifth consecutive sold-out show at Union Transfer.
The show, broadcast live on WXPN, featured some similarities as the shows we saw earlier in the week — notably, the band played eight out of ten songs from their celebrated new album Jubilee. It also featured a couple notable differences — frontperson Michelle Zauner spent more time at her Rhodes, particularly for a late-set cover of “Here You Come Again” by Dolly Parton, and there was a massive balloon drop during the main set finale of “Everybody Wants To Love You.”
Listen to the entire performance and check out the setlist (and video of the balloon drop care of bassist Deven Craige) below; pick up Jubilee in a variety of formats here.
