BRIGITTE CALLS ME BABY PLAYING ATLANTA’S VINYL AT CENTER STAGE ON 5/9
Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 4/6/26
They just wrapped a run in the UK supporting The Vaccines and will kick off their headline North American tour this week. They’ll be stopping in Atlanta, playing at Vinyl at Center Stage on May 9th
The Chicago band has had a pretty insane couple of years – they released their debut album in 2024 which led to performances on Kimmel, Kelly Clarkson and CBS, to touring with Morrissey, a Lollapalooza festival slot and more! The live show is spectacular, and that is the entire ethos of this new record – capturing the energy and grandeur of their show. The album was produced by Yves Rothman and Lawrence Rothman (Blondshell, Yves Tumor), and tracked after dialing the songs in on tour.
BRIGITTE CALLS ME BABY
SHARE FINAL SINGLE “I CAN TAKE THE SUN OUT OF THE SKY”
OFF SOPHOMORE ALBUM IRREVERSIBLEOUT FRIDAY ON ATO RECORDS
NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINE TOUR THIS APRIL
Ahead of their sophomore album release this Friday, Chicago-band Brigitte Calls Me Baby delivers the album’s buoyant single “I Can Take the Sun Out of the Sky.” An instant transmission of pure unfiltered feeling propelled by an infectious guitar melody, the song is immediately grabbing and impossible to shake. There’s an open-road feel to the track, but beneath it hums a touch of melancholic grandeur.
“It would be easy to overthink a song like “I Can Take the Sun out of the Sky”, but it was such a last minute addition to the record that we weren’t afforded the opportunity,” shares bassist Devin Wessels. “What resulted was a song and recording that relied solely on our collective instincts and highlights a different side to our sound that we’re excited to share.”
Centered on a boldly singular sound that feels both thrillingly new and immediately essential to the modern rock landscape, Irreversible artfully embraces flawed humanity through the distinct voice that Leavins first cultivated by writing songs as a 13-year-old kid in Port Arthur, Texas. “My whole inclination toward music came from being in this small town in Texas with nowhere to go and nothing to do, and wanting to be understood without having to say anything,” he says.
Produced by Yves Rothman and Lawrence Rothman (Blondshell, Yves Tumor), Irreversible marks the follow-up to their critically lauded 2024 debut The Future Is Our Way Out. Recorded live at Lawrence’s home studio, the 11-song LP reveals a band profoundly transformed by their countless hours on the road and instilled with a newfound fearlessness.
In the wake of their 2024 debut, the band spent the past couple of years touring extensively — including sold-out runs across the US, UK, and Europe alongside Morrissey, Muse, and Fontaines D.C., as well as television performances on Kimmel, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and CBS. That momentum now carries into this new era, as they prepare to bring Irreversible on the road this spring with a North American headline tour stopping in Chicago, Seattle, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Nashville, DC, NYC, and more.
The tour follows upcoming headline dates in the UK and a run supporting The Vaccines. See the full list of dates below — find tickets HERE.
