![]() That unlabored alchemy continues with what has been inevitably dubbed The Tour, as going without a leader continues to put them on the leader board. On their first full-length album, the just-released “The Record,” Boygenius somehow managed to find the ideal balance and blend of voices, personalities and musical sensibilities, probably without anybody even busting any calculators out. Long story short, for what’s to come on the road this summer: They are strong enough to be Your Band. The FOMO was strong on this one, as a waiting Boygenius Nation ate up all the sloppy seconds they could get from video bites on the web as the show proceeded - and, in fact, you did miss out if you weren’t one of the 1,750 inside, although, not to worry, this is going to be a repeatable phenomenon. ![]() Playing each and every song from the two records they have out, including “The Record,” added up to a just-about-right 75 minutes that just like a main course and apertifs and dessert wine besides. (This was true and not true: There was a 12-song benefit in San Francisco at a sub-400-seater last year… and hey, what about that cheeky busking at the Austin airport terminal during SXSW arrivals? But we know what they mean.) That question was answered pretty satisfactorily - OK, let’s say pretty magnificently - with Boygenius’ concert Wednesday night at the Fox Pomona Theatre in California’s Riverside County, which they proudly and not-very-nervously declared was their first concert since 2018.
