As the noise-rap-electro act Jane Remover shrieked and pleaded through a 90-minute marathon set at the Fonda on Thursday night, one very young couple dressed right out of a conservative\u2018s nightmare \u2014 gender-ambiguous, purple hair, facial piercings \u2014 tapped me on the shoulder. They politely asked if I could mind their newly bought vinyl for a bit as they thrashed in the heaving crowd. Of course, this unc obliged them.<\/p>\n
Anyone who laments that L.A. crowds don\u2019t dance should go to one of the last sets of Jane Remover\u2019s three-night stand at the Fonda this weekend. It had the most genuinely raucous pit I\u2019ve seen in 2026, made all the more feral for how sweet and earnest it was. After a hotly tipped Coachella set, this Live Exhibit tour affirmed that the subculture Jane Remover built may or may not have wider pop potential, but it\u2019s getting big enough to count for stardom in the fractured music world of today.<\/p>\n
Jane Remover is a trans polymath producer and singer-songwriter with influences across rave, shoegaze, trap and beyond. They\u2019ve built up a ferocious elaboration on the hyperpop of predecessors like Sophie, who similarly packed so many good ideas into songs they became talismanic to fans, a tonic to reinvent yourself (new Charli XCX opener Underscores is another fellow traveler).<\/p>\n
The music itself sounds like reverse-engineering the moment in the 2000s when metalcore kids discovered EDM. Only now it\u2019s Discord-disaffected youth ramping up hardstyle techno, autotuned girlypop ballads and rage-rap to an explosive fusion point. \u201cCensus Designated,\u201d Jane\u2019s brash and dramatic 2023 coming-out LP, tipped them as a force beyond the underground. But they soon eclipsed it with 2025\u2019s \u201cRevengeseekerz,\u201d a deliriously overheated mix of romantic yearning, internet score-settling and virtuosic production prowess.<\/p>\n
Backed by just a DJ (Dazedgxd, who opened the set) and a retina-scorching light rig up front, Jane acknowledged on Thursday that the stakes were getting much higher. They joked that they\u2019d played the El Rey like three times before this tour, and to judge by the wild-eyed passions out in the audience, the Fonda will probably be the smallest venue they\u2019ll play for some time. \u201cIt gets so cold this high up,\u201d Jane sang on \u201cTurn Up or Die.\u201d \u201cCan\u2019t go to hell but I can drop you off.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sentiments driving the music are ultramodern: self-aware, vicious and desperately vulnerable. The hilariously zesty \u201cAngels in Camo\u201d (home to the all-time banger of a line: \u201cJesus never had it with a freak b\u2014\u201d) wrapped up with a bloodletting plea that \u201cI can\u2019t let you b\u2014 win.\u201d Jane wields that word like the flaming sword on the \u201cRevengeseekerz\u201d album cover, with all the casual lustiness of Future but also the wrath of a reclaimed slur. <\/p>\n
On \u201cProfessional Vengeance,\u201d they grappled with the weird lures of celebrity and intimacy, where no one really knows anyone but desire still courses; \u201cExperimental Skin\u201d found them craving and fighting off God and nihilism and technology and addiction all at once.<\/p>\n
The tension in these tracks are the binding agent for Jane\u2019s fan base \u2014 the music is full of contradictions and incompatibilities smashing together that just feel like being young right now. Other than a quick affirmation that fans of all identities and backgrounds will always be welcome at their shows, they let the contorting, violent music speak for itself about the way queer fans are feeling about life under siege in the United States.<\/p>\n
If the set was a bit too long for the limited setup onstage, it was because Jane simply had that much music to let out \u2014 that caliber of emotion to unburden, that much want to acknowledge. It seemed like the set was closing with \u201cIn the Dark,\u201d an aching ballad from their Venturing side project, plainly declaring \u201cI still dream of us\u201d through a fog of effects. But instead they ramped it back up for one last cathartic blast to close, sending their faithful out onto Hollywood Boulevard, sweaty and filthy and fundamentally known.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
