Ohio band, Walk The Moon, is currently on tour promoting their latest album,
simply titled Walk The Moon.
Accompanying them onstage were bands Smallpools and The Mowgli's.
Indie pop band, Smallpools, hasn't been around very long, forming earlier this year, but they are already making big waves. The band opened with one of their singles, Mason Jar, before going on to play other songs off their latest EP such as Not Story Time and Over and Over.
Then, lead singer, Sean Scanlon announced that the band will be working on recording a new album after touring. They followed with two brand new songs, American Love and You've Got The Music In You. The band ended with their current hit, Dreaming, which was, without doubt, the highlight of the show. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of Smallpools in the near future.
Next up were The Mowgli's, an indie rock/folk band from southern California. Going into the show, I had no idea what to expect. Simply put, I was blown away. From their first song, Waiting For The Dawn, to Hi, Hey There, Hello the entire band brought unusual amount of positive energy, the kind of energy that would make someone like myself yearn to get on stage to dance beside them.
Dave Appelbaum, keyboardist and vocalist, was invited out of his corner of the stage to play guitar for the song Carry Your Will, which gave everyone just enough time to catch their breath. The atmosphere had changed, but not for long as the band finished the night off with songs The Great Divide followed by crowd-favorite San Francisco.
The Mowgli's are “the kind of band you see live and it makes you want to go and listen to all their music.” I will definitely be keeping an eye out for any nearby shows in the future.
Walk The Moon: “dance-rock” group from Ohio that most of the audience, sporting painted faces and official t-shirts, had been eagerly anticipating to take the stage. I had seen Walk The Moon earlier this year on my trip to Bonnaroo, and, although vastly different audience and venue sizes, I was not disappointed a second time around. The sounds of girls screaming quickly faded when the band began to play their first song of the night, Next In Line.
After playing a few more from their self-titled debut, Walk The Moon immediately followed with a first-time performance of the song Sidekick, and later introduced the audience to Boyfriend. For the song I Can Lift A Car, everyone in the crowd was asked to raise their arms and “push” into the sky, though instructions were likely unnecessary as so many already knew what to do. After exhausting much of their arsenal, the band went on to play their well-known single Anna Sun.
The vocals were drowned out during the chorus (“Oh Anna Sun!”) by the audience. For the encore, lead singer, Nicholas Petricca, busted out a keytar to play Jenny, another favorite amongst fans. A brand new album is set to begin recording upon completion of the tour, which is taking place today, October 31st at the Barrymore Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin.
