jennylee @ Stereo, Glasgow, 7 Dec

“I’m really nervous!” protests Jenny lee Lindberg, mid set. In theory, sure, she has every reason to be; her brand new record – and first solo release without her Warpaint band members – is just days away from release (it drops on 11 Dec), and the set at Glasgow’s Stereo marks only the third occasion that right on! has ever been played live. But if she's genuinely feeling butterflies, you’d never know it from the performance here tonight.

With the hood up on her right on!-branded merch hoody, Lindberg claims the spotlight with total ease. Cutting a forceful figure center stage – and without her signature bass in hand – she directs her brand new band through her music with precision, assertively calling for a restart in the face of accidental feedback.

In fact, her coolly confident, commanding vibes – honestly, no trace of nerves – turns a record that’s a definite slow-burner into a set-list of instant, approachable hits. Single Never, alongside abrasive, confrontational tracks like White Devil and Offerings, fully fills the room with Lindberg’s newly new wave, goth-tinged vision, inciting eager enthusiasm from an unfamiliar but thoroughly supportive audience.

Wrapping up by strapping on her bass, Lindberg introduces an “old song that some of you might know” – which turns out to be CC, from Warpaint’s most recent album. It’s obvious that everyone knows it. Written about her husband Chris Cunningham, it’s a fitting finale to a set of Lindberg’s most personal material to date, adding context and hinting at directions as yet untaken. Ridiculously capable and completely convincing, jennylee’s excitement and pride in these “warm-up” shows is infectious – when she returns, you know there’ll be fireworks.
