2 months ago, I listened to Frost Children’s newest project SISTER after a recommendation (more like a constant nag, but I trust her taste) from a friend back home. After the closing track, 2LØVE, played, I saw an ad for their Philadelphia stop of the SISTER tour, remarkably called the SISTOUR. I impulsively bought tickets then and there for a whopping 15 dollars. My heart yearned to hear them live after just one listen. I asked my EDM-loving friend Cas to go with me a week before the show, and on Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025, we landed at Brooklyn Bowl Philadelphia after two SEPTA rides. Frost Children consists of Angel and Lulu Prost, an electro-pop/EDM brother-sister duo from St Louis. SISTER was their sixth project, but they have described it to be not only their favorite out of the six, but the best. This was reflected in the setlist, as every single song from the project was on it.
Not one person in the crowd was dressed “normal” under societal expectations, and this instantly made me feel safe. Everyone just looked so unbelievably cool. I swear, only a handful of people were rocking their natural hair color. I was wearing a bedazzled crop top and my dark baggy jeans with stars embedded in them, and even though this isn’t something I’d wear to class, I still felt underdressed compared to how effortlessly captivating the people surrounding me were. It was so easy to make conversation with them, and I couldn’t be more excited to mosh my living brains out.
Before the siblings took the stage at 9pm on the dot, the “S” logo seen on the SISTER album cover was brought on the stage in a giant, neon blue sign. You know, like that S we would all draw on the desks at school made out of straight lines? The one that our parents would also draw? Timeless. Angel flounced on the teensy stage carrying a gold flag on her shoulders that was twice her size, complementing her plaid-decorated schoolgirl outfit. Lulu was rocking no shirt and some black slacks, as his real outfit was his 2009-cut bright blue hair. Without even saying hi to Philly, they immediately got into it with the opening track on the album, Position Famous. The back-and-forth beat, along with the lyrics resembling a chanting sound leading up to a beat drop, was the perfect song they could have started the concert with. Everyone in the audience knew every word and synched up to jump on beat. I already started to sweat after the first song, so I knew I was going to get an exhilarating workout by the end of the show.
The track I was most excited to hear live and dance to, however, was Falling, my personal favorite on the track. The crowd instantly yelled with excitement the moment the first note played. To me, Falling seems like the song that would play in the background as my life flashes before my eyes as I’m about to die. While that seems dramatic, I feel like any Frost Children fan would agree with me on that. It just has that indescribable feeling to it, ya know? It was so electrifying to mosh and dance to this song while screaming our hearts out to every word. There was even an emotional aspect to it—I had chills down my spine for the majority of the song. By the time they finished their SIX song encore, I never felt more sweaty in my life. I was throwing my body around like a ragdoll and screaming at the top of my lungs, which is the norm for a show of this nature. Thank heavens for my setting powder because it’s a miracle my makeup stayed mostly intact even though I literally felt sweat in my eyes.
