TURNOVER TURN THE GREEK INTO A DREAMSCAPE CELEBRATING A DECADE OF PERIPHERAL VISION

On a warm Friday night tucked into the trees of Griffith Park, Turnover brought their brand of hazy, heart-on-sleeve indie rock to the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles—and for a few fleeting hours, everything slowed down. Performing to a sold-out crowd, the Virginia Beach band celebrated the 10th anniversary of Peripheral Vision by playing the album front to back, giving fans a deeply emotional night they won’t soon forget.
Opening sets from Horse Jumper of Love and Balance and Composure perfectly set the mood—melancholic, spacious, and slightly surreal. As dusk turned to night, Turnover emerged without flash or pretense, easing into the unmistakable chords of “Cutting My Fingers Off.” From there, it fully immersed into Peripheral Vision's dreamlike world. Tracks like “New Scream,” “Humming,” and “I Would Hate You If I Could” were poured out like diary entries from a more vulnerable time, and each lyric was echoed back by an audience that was visibly moved.
The band’s performance was stripped down in the best way—no flashy visuals, just softly colored lighting and the unmistakable aura of a group locked in total musical synchronicity. Vocalist Austin Getz kept things low-key, letting the music speak for itself, and it did—loudly, emotionally, and with purpose. Despite the album’s age, it felt just as resonant, maybe even more so, now that time and distance have allowed its themes of disconnection and self-exploration to settle deeper.
Turnover closed the night with an encore that pulled from their later work, including crowd favorites “Super Natural” and “Most of the Time.” These newer tracks served as a reminder that the band hasn’t stood still—they’ve evolved, experimented, and pushed their sound in new directions, all while maintaining the emotional pulse that first drew fans in.
By the time the final notes echoed into the trees above the Greek, it was clear: this wasn’t just a concert. It was a full-circle moment. A meditation on growth, memory, and the strange comfort of songs that have stuck with us for a decade. Turnover didn’t just play Peripheral Vision—they re-lived it, re-framed it, and in doing so, reminded us why it meant so much in the first place.
