It’s long past the point of novelty; famously, musicians such as Alessia Cara and Justin Bieber got their start after posting their material on YouTube. What’s a little more unusual is the odd confluence of events that led to Inés Adam and Martina Nintzel playing sold-out club shows in New York City within months of knowing each other, after videos of the pair playing cover versions of New York early-2000s indie-revival powerhouses The Strokes became widely shared on social media.
Featuring an undeniable spark and youthful enthusiasm, the duo’s stripped-down versions of millennial anthems have an irresistible charm that makes them compelling and utterly shareable. And though they exhibit the musical and personal chemistry of a pair of friends who have known each other since childhood, they first met in January of 2021 after a mutual follower suggested they play a song together. The YouTube platform recommendation feature favored their homespun cover, and soon they officially adopted the moniker Pacifica.
