Grayscale Put On The Show Of The Summer In Myrtle Beach

If you know anything about us at The Honey POP, it’s that we love Grayscale. We couldn’t pass up seeing Grayscale and BOYS LIKE GIRLS together on the Lost In Wonderland Small Town USA Summer ‘24 Tour.  It would’ve been the ultimate concert FOMO. So, we packed our bags and flew across the country to see our faves, without any hesitation. 

It was pouring rain when we came to the venue but by the end of the night, it was “blue sun, perfect skies” (at 11:23 pm). While we could yap forever about the show, here are some of our favorite moments. 

‘Just Right’ 

Watching the lights go out and hearing the opening notes to this song as Grayscale takes the stage is one of our favorite moments. The anticipation and excitement felt palpable in that moment and we were ready to sing and dance our way through their entire set (as always). 

‘In Violet’ 

You might love it, you might hate it, you might complain about your knees every time it happens, but the jump during ‘In Violet’ is one of our favorite parts of a Grayscale set. For those who aren’t familiar, lead singer Collin Walsh has the crowd crouch down low and jump back up in unison as the music kicks in. Some crowds need a little more prompting than others, but seeing an entire room jumping and singing along to this track is so special. That held true in Myrtle Beach because it had been entirely too long since we had experienced an ‘In Violet’ jump. It’s already one of our favorite songs but the live experience makes us love it even more. 

‘Let Go’ 

They debuted this one at their 2023 holiday show and they’ve played it at The Night Shift Tour with Smallpools and Caroline Romano. Do we know all the lyrics because of rewatching our videos? Yes. Will we hear it at their upcoming tour with Marianas Trench? Most likely. Regardless, we need the studio version ASAP. 

‘Summer Clothes’ 

Are you tired of us yapping about this song and rubber ducks yet? Well too bad because this is one of our favorite songs of the summer and we won’t stop. This was our first time hearing ‘Summer Clothes’ live and it was so much fun. The song has great energy to begin with and that energy translated perfectly into a live performance. We really hope this becomes a setlist staple, tbh. Speaking of ‘Summer Clothes,’ will Collin Walsh ever return our rubber duck? Who knows.

‘Forever Yours’

Every Grayscale song is a singalong for us, but this one especially. It’s a classic setlist staple and also one of our many favorite songs from Adornment. While we listen to the studio version frequently, there’s just something incredibly special about hearing it live. And it’s even better when you can sway and sing along with your best friend. 

‘Not Afraid To Die’ 

Oh, the song that kicked off their new era. It’s been out for almost a year now, but trust us when we say we are nowhere near tired of ‘Not Afraid To Die.’ This song goes hard every time. Would we have crowd-surfed to this song if the venue allowed it? Absolutely. But there’s always next time.

‘Panama’ – Van Halen 

One of the many things we love about Grayscale shows is that they usually close with a cover. Some past covers being Third Eye Blind’s ‘Never Let You Go’ and Tal Bachman’s ‘She’s So High.’ This time they ended with a classic Van Halen song, ‘Panama’ and we love them for it. 

As always, Grayscale put on an incredible show. We are a little jealous we didn’t get to hear Collin sing ‘The Great Escape’ with BOYS LIKE GIRLS on the last night of tour but we’re so grateful we got to experience this run. Not only that, but we’re super excited for whatever new music they have in store for us! If these singles are any indication of what their next album is going to sound like then we know it’s going to be amazing (and we need it ASAP). But for now, we are counting down the days until we see them on tour with Marianas Trench! (Be sure to get your tickets, if you haven’t already!)
