The Devil Wears Prada @ The Deluxe in Indianapolis on November 7th, 2013 — It’s 11:00 p.m.; my head is ringing; I’m disoriented and beat up; and I’m pretty sure most of the sweat that I’m covered in isn’t mine. So how did I get here? Let’s take a few moments to explain.
...a rock-driven act, full of catchy hooks that any audience could love... Those around me do... judging their dance moves.
Tied To Tigers
The second round of the annual Battle of Birdy’s resumes, and taking a few days off last week, I’m anxious to get back into it. As impressive as the first round always is, the next one takes it to the next level, compete with that “big show” feel.
...it stays dark for more than half of the song, with only a few stage lights and the glow of several thousand phones to light the way while Marcus Mumford continues to serenade the crowd.
Lovers' Eyes
Mumford & Sons @ Klipsch Music Center in Indianapolis — The British are coming, and for the people of Indiana, we wouldn’t have it any other way. On this Labor Day, Mumford and Sons came to Klipsch Music Center as part of their latest U.S. tour. Of course, they didn’t come here alone. They also brought along the likes of The Vaccines and Bear’s Den.
WARMfest @ Broad Ripple Park in Indianapolis — Okay, so Day 1 was a literal wash, and despite my disappointment, it was ultimately their call to make, and in the end, I believe they did make the right one. Now it’s a new day, the slate is clean, and I’m determined to make this WARMfest experience something to remember (for better, not for worse).
WARMfest @ Broad Ripple Park in Indianapolis — For the first time ever, Indianapolis played host to the White River Arts and Music Festival – or “WARMfest,” where artists on both the local and national levels would congregate to Broad Ripple Park for a celebration of all things, well, art and music.
...Yes clearly knows who their audience is, and those who grew up with them are clearly loving every second of it.
Yes @ The Murat Theatre in Indianapolis — The theatre itself is also starting to fill out, with many already seated and the rest trying to find their seats before the show begins. Before too long, the lights go out, and we’re treated to a brief video package set to an excerpt from Stravinsky’s “Firebird Suite” that highlight the three albums that we would all hear this evening. The band greets the crowd, and we’re underway.
