AUSTIN, TX- It’s always a pleasure to witness an artist’s creative evolution over time. During SXSW, I had the opportunity to see Liz Nistico, a Los Angeles-based artist who formerly fronted the indie pop band HolyChild, now pursuing a solo project called Revenge Wife. The band disbanded in 2020 following the release of their second studio album, The Theatrical Death of Julie Delicious (2019), with Nistico citing a desire to work on solo projects.

Revenge Wife expands upon the pop sonics that HolyChild created, incorporating heavier tones into the mix. Nistico’s songwriting also feels more personal and serious in terms of themes explored. In her 2021 EP “Background Songs For Your Boring Life,” the track “Manifest” is a contemplative dance cut that delves into the idea of taking control of one’s narrative, wrapped in a high-energy dance track.

At The Belmont, Revenge Wife entertained the crowd with a fun performance that highlighted Revenge Wife’s repertoire and fearless stage presence. What impressed me the most was how she seamlessly choreographed the performance with local dancers, making it appear as if they had been touring the choreography for months. Nistico’s artistic growth and development are evident, and Revenge Wife is a testament to her continued creativity and artistry.
