On April 12, 2025, the Moroccan Lounge lit up with an unforgettable night of comedy, high-energy movement, and music that’s bound to live in your head rent-free. Senses headlined the evening, with powerful support from Negative 25 and Mvssie. Each artist brought their own distinct stage presence, captivating the crowd in their own way. It was clear the fans loved every minute—every performance was met with energy, excitement, and genuine appreciation.
Mvssie’s drummer hit the stage first, hyping up the crowd before Mvssie herself came running onto the stage with a big smile on her face. Her setlist that night included songs such as “Therapy,” “Cold,” “Bite Me,” “Self Sabotage,” “Downfall,” “I Swear It’s Not the End,” “Stay,” and “Wonderland.” She even performed a cover of “That’s What You Get” by Paramore, during which the entire crowd sang along, and she passed the mic to fans in the audience. Mvssie moved with confidence and interacted with the crowd throughout her set. Her energy and music are reminiscent of Maggie Lindemann, so if you love Maggie’s music, you’ll definitely love Mvssie.
Her performance of “Stay” was emotionally captivating, while her drummer gave his all to every song—you could tell he was having a blast on stage. There was even a memorable moment of Mvssie interacting with the drummer during her performance of “Wonderland,” with the lights perfectly matching the music. If you’ve ever felt like you were going insane, you’d connect deeply with “Wonderland.” Her music is truly for all the fighters out there who keep getting up no matter what.
Negative 25 showed their appreciation for their fans as soon as they hit the stage. Fans at the front even gave small plushies to the band, creating a wholesome moment. The band expressed their gratitude, talking about how much they appreciated the kindness of their fans and hearing their stories while on tour. Brett and Bradley both sang and played guitar, commanding the stage with strong presence. They ripped on guitar and weren’t afraid to show off with cool tricks.
Their setlist included songs like “Are We Having Fun Yet?,” a brief cover of “Teenage Dirtbag,” “Sad Boy Summer,” “So What I Lied,” and a cover of “Shake It” by Metro Station. During “Are We Having Fun Yet?,” Brett jumped into the crowd, further energizing the audience.
Negative 25 had top-tier crowd control, getting the audience to put their hands in the air, sing along, and even crack their knuckles in unison. Their humor was infectious, capable of making even someone having the worst day laugh. Despite their self-deprecating jokes about “sucking,” the truth is the complete opposite. One girl in the audience looked like her whole year was made just by seeing them perform. Their energy was contagious, and it clearly transferred to the crowd. At one point, bubbles floated through the venue, adding to the fun atmosphere. Everything about Negative 25 screamed that they’re destined for big things, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see them headlining their own tour soon.
Finally, it was time for the headliner of the night, Senses, to take over—and they did so with a bang. Lead singer Madison Taylor moved on stage with such charisma that you couldn’t take your eyes off her. She exuded rockstar energy, often performing with her hair in her face but always making it look effortlessly cool. Throughout the set, she and her bandmates interacted on stage, including a moment where she grabbed a drumstick and joined the drummer.
Senses’ setlist included songs like “Diamonds on Your Dagger,” “Gonna Make Sure,” “Every Little Thing,” “See You Go,” “The Comedown,” “When It Rains,” “Maybe,” “Stabilizer,” “Me Against Me,” “Novocain,” “Nosebleeds,” their cover of “Good Luck Babe,” “No Fun,” “Playing Dead,” “Sleepwalking,” and “Better Than This.” At one point, Madison played acoustic guitar with an energy rarely seen in acoustic performances.
There were moments when the audience turned off their lights, creating a sense of connection that felt almost magical. The crowd came alive during their performance of “Good Luck Babe,” and by the end of the set, it felt like the entire room was sweating from dancing. Even the sad songs made you want to move.
One standout moment was when Madison kicked her foot in the air with a smile on her face, embodying the joy and energy of the night. She also brought humor into her song introductions, such as for “No Fun.” The drummer played a strong role in every song, and Madison’s spark and passion were evident throughout the performance.
The last time I saw Senses, they were an opener, but even then, they felt like a headliner. Now, they scream world tour energy. It’s hard to believe this is their first headlining tour. Their songs are beautifully written, with lyrics that stick in your head. “Nosebleeds” is a reminder to never let anyone bring you down, while “Me Against Me” is incredibly relatable for anyone going through tough times. They left the audience hooked and wanting more.
The night ended in a flash, but it was a show that will remain a fond memory. Senses, Negative 25, and Mvssie are artists you don’t want to miss. Their songs are relatable and connect deeply with their fans. Frankly, every artist deserved an encore, and I can’t wait to see what they do next.
