The auditorium was dark, and as we heard a voice (Sebastian) shout out, ‘everyone let’s make some noise’, a spot light went on centre stage, and he was standing with his microphone in the air ready to jump up and down as they launched right into Is Anyone Up? They had the audience on their side right away, as their incredible energy was a wonderful encouragement to get everyone dancing along to their music. The venue wasn’t particularly busy, so they shouted out for us to create a divide in the middle of the audience, and then run towards each other, which was super fun.
They played a great selection of songs from We Are The Mess, their new album, and a few also from Bury Me In Vegas. I was astounded by the sheer energy that they were bringing to the performance, jumping and dancing around the stage almost non stop, and Sebastian and Kevin maintained spot on vocals, whilst the others played solid instrumentals.
When they played their metal/rock cover of Katy Perry’s California Gurls, they had everyone singing along, and shouted ‘one, two, three’, and had us all jump and dance along.
