Kim Petras @ The Brooklyn Mirage, NYC, 9 Oct 2023

Following a Grammy win earlier in the year, Kim Petras is on the road with her Feed the Beast Tour! Despite her being German-born and Los Angeles-based, the Brooklyn concert was a bit of a homecoming for her. “I’ve been thinking of how much I owe to gay clubs - especially gay clubs in Brooklyn,” Petras told Billboard earlier this year when she was honored as the 2023 Women in Music Chartbreaker. “That’s where my career started and where people wanted me to perform. It’s where I performed the sh-t out of my songs on bars and tables and anything. I feel like I owe my career to Brooklyn and the Bushwick gays. I’m so grateful, I will never forget that. It’s my favorite place.”
The fact that Petras went from singing on Bushwick tables to selling out a 4500-capacity venue just a mile and a half from one of those local queer spaces wasn’t lost on her. “You sold out this show! I’m so grateful,” Petras told the NYC crowd, an LGBTQ-heavy audience dressed (or undressed) to the nines. “I remember dancing on a bar in Bushwick and Amanda Lepore was there and all of a sudden people started listening to my music.”
