Petey’s performance at Moody Amphitheater on September 26, 2024, was a chaotic, heart-on-sleeve experience that felt like a wild therapy session set to music. Known for their deeply relatable lyrics and raw humor, Petey delivered a set that was equal parts cathartic and exhilarating, tapping into our shared anxieties with a blend of self-deprecating wit and sincerity. Petey’s ability to find fun in vulnerability is a big part of what makes his live shows so compelling—he’s just as likely to make you laugh as he is to give you something to reflect on. Songs like “Pitch a Fit!” and “We Go on Walks” showcased his knack for blending indie rock, punk, and a touch of electronic influence, creating an eclectic sound that felt at once nostalgic and fresh. His dynamic range was impressive too—one minute, he thrashed through an up-tempo banger, and the next, he slowed things down with introspective tracks like “Don’t Tell the Boys.” Petey’s live performance hit all the right notes for anyone looking for a mix of humor, heart, and a soundtrack to the modern existential crisis.
