Royal and the Serpent at the Roxy: It’s been almost exactly a year since we saw Royal and the Serpent effectively lay waste to the Troubadour with one of the most exciting sets that we saw in 2022. She’s back in Hollywood with her Serpents in tow, and we bet that it’ll be even better this time.

“Throughout it all, Royal looked to be having the time of her life, switching from demanding that we promise not to drink and drive, to nervous ticks, in a blink,” we wrote last year. “She’s a glorious performer, brimming with star power. Her lyrics are eminently human — one minute she’s open and vulnerable, the next she’s angry and fighting.

We spoke to Royal in June of this year, and she told us that, “I just have so much music and I was originally really wanting to put an album out, but I was feeling like I had too much and I wanted to give people more. I didn’t want to make it this really big build-up to just one explosion. I wanted to give people little mini stories to build the whole world. So we’re doing two songs at a time because I think that I personally prefer that. I think it’s nice to give people a little bit more backstory and content. It makes it a lot more fun.”

Carlie Hanson and Baby Fisher also perform.

Royal and the Serpent at the Roxy: The event takes place at 8 p.m. on Saturday, November 18 at the Roxy Theatre.
