Really lovely BIG band. They had a big sound, with instruments like trumpets, mandolins, flutes, saxophones. On one song they all dropped down on the beat in sync with the lights flickering. The main lady singer had such a powerful and pretty voice. The guy singer made me laugh because his voice was very monotonous (but pretty! It reminded me of The National's singer). 8/10 loved it! I prefer their live stuff to their album.9/10
So British. :) oh so british, they said "thank yuh verah muchh" after each song. They had some really catchy songs, I'd only heard one before. Great energy. It made me laugh when they played out their last note into a 5 minute riff and I didn't know if I should be clapping or not!I really loved the guitar riff on Tyrants, groovy man.7/10 going to listen to more of their music
THE BEST. SOOOO much fun. They had amazing amounts of energy; they bantered with the crowd and had the mosh pit blow up balloons and push them back to the hill. Kim was crazy, she was dancing on top of her drum a lot and beating on it at the same time. She smiled the whole time. At one point she "crowd-walked" instead of surfed and danced it out. Matt was the sweetest guy, and he explained how much he loved doing this, it was his dream. And he called out R-Kelley (who?) for not playing at his concert b/c he wouldn't have gotten money. So they played "ignition" by him. 10/10 definitely my favorite, the crowd was so into it. They kept the energy going for the ENTIRE show it was amazing. Their music is super happy & dance-y & unique I'm going to listen to it more.
Started out with "The Circle of Life" which was surprising and a blast, I had the best time dancing to these guys. It was nice knowing a lot of the lyrics, too. My favorite was "different colors" that had the nicest vibes ever. SO MUCH FUN!9/10
Honestly not my favorite (even though they were the main event)but by that point we'd been there for about 5 hours, it was 9:00 and I was exhausted. The lights for this show were frickin' amazing. They were different for each song and matched them perfectly. It was very loud and if I wasn't so tired I think it would've been amazing. Their sound is very unique and the singer's main voice sounds exactly like it does in the studio versions. On our way out they played "Taro" which is my all-time favorite ever. That was so cool.7/10
