My mom is an immigrant, so she had no idea about SATs, ACTs, or college prep. ![]() She went all in, choosing to opt out of college: “I did it without anyone knowing. “ I quickly realized it’s really hard to get into this industry and make yourself known.” “I did it because I wanted to act,” she says. Even then, she saw it merely as a means to an end. The store often used its employees as models, and Ferreira (who at the time went by Barbara) was tapped for a shoot. “, I used to be really insecure and I only wore really specific outfits that would cover my body.” “I threw out all my clothes and started wearing clothes that were more formfitting,” says Ferreira. “I was the kind of girl in eighth grade who was coming in with an electric-blue smoky eye and fake lashes and everyone’s like, ‘Who the fuck is that?’” At 16, she got a job at American Apparel, a brand known for its body-hugging leggings and tanks. Born in New York City’s East Harlem, she spent her early years in Queens before moving to New Jersey. Out of character, Ferreira is also no stranger to transformation. ![]() As her confidence skyrockets, Kat overhauls her style, ditching polo shirts and jeans for mesh tops and bondage-inspired harnesses. The new songs shared tonight – including new album highlight, ‘Love From The Other Side’ – are as good as anything the Chicago-born rockers have ever penned and are greeted by the crowd with the same rabid acclaim as anything from their back catalogue.Ferreira plays Kat Hernandez, who flips the script after footage of her losing her virginity gets posted online: She reclaims her sexuality by becoming a camgirl who videochats with clients - some of whom pay her to degrade them - while in various states of undress. To say that it’s Fall Out Boy at their very best would be little more than lazy journalism – but it would, unfortunately, also be accurate. Sure, you have the aforementioned ‘Tnks Fr The Mmrs’, ‘Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down’, ‘Dance Dance’, and ‘Centuries’ – but who are we to forget about ‘My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark’, ‘Una Thurman’, and ‘Grand Theft Autumn / Where Is Your Boy’?īut that’s not to diminish, of course, the sheer excellence of the cuts they share from So Much (for) Stardust. Oh, and to top it all off, they’re playing a setlist that’s packed full of deep cuts, fan favourites, and just a few of the bonafide rock classics that bear their name.Īnd that’s about as good as it gets, really, isn’t it?Īfter all, it’s easy to forget how many stone-cold bangers Patrick Stump and co. As part of the promotional run for their (excellent) new album So Much (for) Stardust, Fall Out Boy are playing an intimate show at London’s 1200-capacity Heaven. You’d be forgiven for thinking that this is a scene from a mid-Noughties Warped Tour reunion or, perhaps, a documentary about the ‘good old days’ of American emo-rock.īut alas, dear reader, it’s not 2005. ‘Tnks Fr Th Mmrs’, ‘Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down’, ‘Dance Dance’, and ‘Centuries’ are duly aired, before the band departs in a flurry of waves, smiles, and promises to ‘see us again soon’. Later, they’ll blast through a selection of hits so omnipresent, you’d think they were piped into maternity wards up and down the land. Patrick Stump is wearing a baseball cap, Pete Wentz is looking dashing, and a thousand die-hard fans are screaming every word back into the faces of these American emo heroes. They’re rolling through their rollicking new single, ‘Heartbreak Feels So Good’, which is an angst-ridden anthem with lyrics highlighting the fact that ‘ could cry a little, cry a lot / cry later or cry now / know it’s heartbreak’. It’s a nippy Thursday night and Fall Out Boy are blasting the roof off of a Central London basement bar. ![]()
