# Shimmering Brilliance: Lauren Mayberry’s Radiant Performance at Scoot Inn on 02/26/25

*By Daniel Benavides · March 5, 2025*

#### Review of Lauren Mayberry’s debut solo performance at the Scoot Inn on 02/26/25

Scottish singer-songwriter **[Lauren Mayberry](https://laurenmayberry.co.uk/)**, best known as the magnetic frontwoman of **[Chvrches](https://chvrch.es/)**, proved she is just as commanding on her own during her **solo debut performance in Austin, TX** on Thursday night. Taking the stage at the **Scoot Inn**, Lauren Mayberry delivered a spellbinding set, performing the entirety of her first solo album, *Vicious Creature*, to an intimate yet electrified crowd.

Backed by talented musicians **Heather Nation** on guitar and **Marian Li-Pino** on drums, Mayberry brought her infectious energy and emotional depth to the stage. Dressed in a flowing, ethereal outfit that shimmered under the stage lights, she seamlessly blended her signature synth-pop roots with raw, introspective storytelling.

One of the night’s most memorable moments came when Mayberry clutched a vintage telephone—one of the key props from her *Vicious Creature* era.

The setlist featured standouts like the hauntingly beautiful **“Shame”**, the powerful anthem **“Change Shapes”**, and the deeply personal **“Are You Awake?”**, each track met with an impassioned response from the crowd. Fans, many of whom have followed her journey from [Chvrches](https://altwire.net/chvrches-the-bones-of-what-you-believe/) to this bold new chapter, sang along, hanging on to every word.

Lauren Mayberry’s **solo debut album, Vicious Creature**, was officially released on **December 6, 2024, through EMI Records**, marking a significant evolution in her artistry. If her performance at Scoot Inn is any indication, she has carved out a space that is wholly her own—one where vulnerability meets power, and where she continues to redefine what it means to be an artist in constant transformation.
