With her green electric guitar in hand, King Princess took the stage of the Wiltern on Saturday night to a full minute of clapping and hollering from a crowd of diehard fans. Ready to rock the last night of the United States leg of her “Girl Violence” tour, the Thornton School of Music dropout stood in front of a graffiti-covered wall with the names of every city she played in during the tour.

Looking like a rockstar in black leather pants and a patchwork tank top, she later selected a random crowd member to come up on stage and write “LA” in the center of the backdrop, before grabbing the spray paint can herself and chucking it off stage dramatically. What the “Girl Violence” album itself may have lacked in lyrical complexity and melodic simplicity, the live show made up for in the amped-up performance.

Princess opened with “Cherry,” the title track off the October follow-up EP to “Girl Violence,” putting on the same unnecessary rasp present in the recorded version. However, it had a much more compelling effect live, sounding less strained and more purposeful.

It was somewhat difficult to make out the lyrics Princess was singing in “The Bend,” though that may not have been her fault. The opener, spill tab, was also difficult to understand, denoting a problem with the venue’s audio setup. Even so, the spotlight on Princess during the final refrain and the delicate high notes she pulled out made the lyrics superfluous.

She transitioned into “Girls,” with simple lyrics that don’t become any more complex live, but when sung with more feeling and visible attitude, are a significantly more entertaining listen.

During “Covers,” one of the best songs on the album lyrically, she put her guitar down and got down on her knees, playing for the fans in the front row. She demonstrated true showmanship, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats despite them clearly knowing the songs well.

Princess’s backing band was also incredibly engaging, and rather than fading into the background, they gave true performances themselves; the dynamics between the performers seemed as though they had been working together for decades, and that Princess was merely the frontwoman of the group, rather than a solo artist.

Even more impressive, in the middle of the show, Princess explained how the band had to learn all three of her albums because she likes to switch up the setlist and play whatever she feels compelled to in the moment, creating a unique show for the audience at each tour stop.

Then, she brought out a comically large die with some names of her songs on it, rolled it, and ultimately decided to ignore the die’s decision, playing “Prophet” from her debut album “Cheap Queen.”

Princess seemed like she was having the time of her life throughout the show, but what made it more enjoyable was how she encouraged the crowd to have fun with her. Before playing “Homegirl,” she adamantly urged everyone to find a partner to slow dance with; the audience followed her instructions in their own way, swaying together.

Princess proved herself more than just a frontwoman while performing “RIP KP,” shredding on her guitar and further showcasing her rock star mystique and musical expertise.

With that, the show came to its apparent conclusion, Princess quickly got offstage. But a stage hand immediately came out to tune a guitar, which ruined the illusion that there wouldn’t be an encore. Princess’s drummer shortly came back to the stage and hyped the crowd back up before Princess herself returned.

“I wrote this song in a fucking USC dorm,” she said before playing her first-ever song, “1950,” and eliciting a few loud and proud screams from across the audience.

She ended with “Ohio,” asking the audience the age-old question that haunts many a failed relationship: “Is it me or is it you?” She maintained full commitment to the rock star vibe, even kicking over the mic stand and smashing her guitar against the bass drum, knocking the entire kit over with it.

King Princess brought her inexhaustible energy and passion for entertaining to the Wiltern, leaving it all on the stage.
