Wednesday, September 11, 2024, will be remembered as a night of explosive energy and electrifying performances as Joey Valence & Brae brought their highly anticipated NO HANDS tour to the Bronze Peacock in Houston. The show, a dynamic celebration of music and bravado, left the crowd on fire.
The evening kicked off with a powerhouse set from Godly the Ruler, whose commanding presence set the tone for the night. Leading the audience in a chant of “BLOOD, SWEAT, TEARS!” Godly’s performance was as energetic as it was captivating. Their infectious beats and bold charisma turned the Bronze Peacock into a mosh pit of excitement. This was the perfect warm-up for the headlining act, setting a high bar and amplifying the crowd’s anticipation for what was to come.
Joey Valence & Brae soon took the stage, and the atmosphere shifted into high gear. The duo opened with a shortened version of their track “THE BADDEST,” setting the tone with their trademark blend of bravado and nerdy references. From there, they launched into a thrilling setlist that kept the energy high, blending their unique sound, which has been compared to the Beastie Boys, with modern twists. Tracks like “BUSSIT,” “Hooligang,” and “Startafight” had the audience jumping, while “NO HANDS,” the title track from their latest album, showed their evolving range within hip-hop.
One of the standout moments of the night was their performance of “PACKAPUNCH.” The crowd went wild as the beats hit hard, blending nostalgic sounds with Joey Valence’s squawking bray and Brae’s authoritative tone. The duo’s chemistry was on full display, their contrasting vocal styles complementing each other perfectly.
The surprises didn’t stop there. In a fun twist, Joey Valence & Brae covered “365” by Charli XCX, adding their signature flavor to the pop hit. This unexpected moment had fans singing along before the duo launched into their track “GUMDROP,” another highlight of the night.
As the show neared its climax, Joey Valence & Brae returned to “THE BADDEST,” this time delivering the full version to roaring applause. The duo closed out the main set with “OMNITRIX,” a track that nods to their penchant for nerdy references, delighting fans who had followed their rise to viral stardom.
But the night wasn’t over yet. The crowd chanted for an encore, and the duo returned to the stage for a high-octane performance of their breakout hit “Punk Tactics,” bringing the night to a triumphant close. The Bronze Peacock pulsed with energy as the final beats rang out, a fitting end to an unforgettable night of music.
