The Bravery

I always wanted to see the bravery for the longest time and man!! they were incredible!! They played their new songs from their upcoming album "stir the blood", and lots of old songs as well. The opening act was great, and the venue was cool so I had a great time. If you're looking for a good show, this is definetly the band you have to see!!!!

I loved the entire show!! The Bravery is an awesome band, ever song was awesome and they played older stuff/middle stuff/ new stuff!! The band the Living Things was the band fell in LOVE with...awesome energy! Need to go get their CDs...and The Dustys were rad too!

The Bravery is a must see live. Not to mention the other great opening band The Dustys and The Crash Kings!!! Awesome!

Show was terrible. After the second song my friend says "The band sounds great but doesn't the singer sound...different?" And I said, "Yes, he sounds absolutely terrible, hasn't hit one note this evening that even resembles their records." And then he came out and admitted that he had the swine flu and was sick. I totally appreciate the guy working when he's sick like that, but seriously, I want a refund! What a waste of my money to see an instrumental version of The Bravery plays the hits! Very Very very disappointing show, we sat the whole time robbed of any enthusiasm we might have had for the show. Oh well, win some you lose some!

It was another memorable Bravery concert. I have seen them 3 times now and each time it is amazing! Only problem was some drunk fool causing a problem in the crowd. I swear he did not know anyone but was trying to pick a fight with 2 different people randomly. The bouncers and security DID NOTHING. I would train the bouncers to actually protect people from drunken idiots because that's there job. Other than that, I have no complaints because the concert rocked!

Even though The Bravery often comes up on my Pandora station it turns out this isn't my cup of tea. The best part of the evening was the first act, The Dustys. I really couldn't reconcile the look of The Living Things and their sound. The Bravery actually put on a fairly good show, but the massive amounts of douche-nozzle fans ruined the atmosphere and I left early.

Thought the show was very good. Have seen them before in same venue and was a little disappointed then. Anxious to hear more of there new music, but was a good mix of new and old stuff!

The Bravery were great, as always. The two opening bands were also very good.

This was my first time seeing "The Bravery." The show was at a small theatre in Belmont/Chicago. The crowd turn-out was unimpressive. The vocals on the opening bands were turned down, so it was hard to hear the lyrics. But I must say we enjoyed them. Then the Bravery took the stage and sang mostly hits (not complaining) and a few new songs that they have yet to release. People were singing along and dancing. But nothing I havent seen before.

This was a great show to be at. We got to be very close to the stage and were able to see everything. The Bravery played almost all of my favorite songs by them and every song they played was absolutely awesome. I was also happy they played an equal mix of songs from all three albums (even if one isn't out yet), and I'm glad I could hear lots of old and new songs. The sound was great, Sam Endicott sang great, and the show started out strong from the start with an energetic Unconditional to start. Living Things and The Dustys were also pretty good as opening acts. I was actually kind of happy about Living Things as they are a band I had heard of and knew a song or two of theirs as well. Great show all around. 5/5

Great show, on time, excellent playlist, loved the mix of old and new. Also enjoyed the introduction to Living Things.

The bravery played about 1/3 new songs from their upcoming album due to release in November. I had never heard Living Things before, but their lead guitarist was killing it! I immediately bought their albums the next morning.

I love The Bravery! They played my favorite older songs, but they also played songs off of their new album, coming out in November, and Denver was the first to hear! AMAZING!

The show was great. The Ogden is a nice little venue. You can hit the bar without missing a minute of the show. The opening bands were pretty good. The Bravery were the most impressive, of course. Their lighting and sound was better, but I am sure that they probably have more money to spend. But they also just had better energy. It was a good show overall, and the Bravery impressed as per usual. They even played some new songs some of which for the first time.

I went to Las Vegas for the sole purpose of attending the Bravery Concert poolside at the HArd Rock Hotel and Casino, and I was not let down. The band played for about 40 minutes, we had a front row view, and tickets were affordable. A must see!

I've followed The Bravery since their first album and I was really looking forward to see them live. All I can say is that they were better than I expected. I know it was a short show but they only have two albums out. The new songs from their upcoming album were also amazing and I can't wait for it to come out. Overall The Bravery is just awesome!

The Bravery is one of my favorite bands. I really enjoy them. The show was good, but there was no opener which I thought was odd and then the band came out a bit late from the 8:00 PM start time and they played a short set. Maybe 10 songs. I understand that they only have two albums with a third on the way, but it was still unexpected. I wish that they would have gotten them an opener or something.

I saw The Bravery in Irvine (they opened for Incubus) and they were so AWSOME!!! They sounded so GREAT!!! I am going to see them as much as I can! I definitely recommend to see them live! LOVE EM!!!!!!!! BIG FAN!!!!!!!

The BRavery was the opening act for Green Day. The bravery was total crap, just noise. the lead singer was trying to be cool but failed miserably. dont see them. I would have rather watched a blank wall and hear an irritating noise for a month then see them again.

I'd missed The Bravery the past few times they came through EssEff, so I was stoked to get decent seats this time around. Show started pretty late, so we were decently liquored up by the time they took the stage. Vox was dead-on, guitars/drums were perfect, sound was terrific at Warfield, but we were dead center stage, so you would expect it. My only quibbles were the setlist wasn't maintaining the energy of the crowd, and we seemed to drift between dreamy synth rythyms into brief debauchery and back a bit too fequently, with no real buildup-like a roller coaster. The singer, while looking quite involved in the performance, rarely smiled or showed us any personality...but his perfomance was better than 'faxed in'. He obviously prefers to let the music and lyrics do his talking, but I do have the albums for that...I was interested in seeing the people behind the music, to develop a closer relationship with the music, and found the concert would not achieve this for me. I can recommend going for a decent performance of great songs by a great band, but the actual concert was not particularly spectacular...so one was enough.

This was the worst concert of the year. I've been to over six concerts this year and they all have lived up to my standards, but The Bravery was awful live. The lead singer was drunk and knocking the microphone. I think he did not make any effort whatsoever to please the audience; he was just bumbling around stage drunk. Also, the video to the song "hate fuck" was in poor taste. The Bravery needs to get it together!

I don't know why people pay money to see a show and then find it too much trouble to applaud the band / cheer / scream / or let the band know they are enjoying the performance. The Bravery came on at a late hour (about 11pm) following two opening bands (which started at 9pm) and put on a fairly energetic performance to a way less than capacity audience. A lot of people on the floor at the Warfield but the upstairs was pretty empty. Surprising that a band as good as The Bravery cannot attract more people. Possibly when their next album drops on December 1st, there will be more interest in the band. In any event, the band put on a good show, showcasing old and new songs. I had a good time at the show. Not saying it was a "great" show but certainly fun to be there.

Great, high energy show from The Bravery. They sounded great, did all of their best songs and a bunch from their new CD. Nice level of conversation with the audience, good stage presence. Just all around fun show!

It was the second time that I saw the Bravery. The first time I saw them was at the Fillmore beginning of 2009. I like their new album, so they were good, but the singer has a little bit of an attitude, which is fine for a sec, but becomes annoying after a while... The Warfield is clearly not my favourite venue... The Fillmore and the Fox theater are 10000 times better... The sound was bad, so loud that it was saturated.... I am not expecting to have the CD quality, but such a bad quality is not acceptable. and I know the Warfield can do better than that...

Basically the main band AND the opening acts were all really good. You could get a free vip pass if you preordered the album for only ten dollars, and then I got to meet the bravery! That was really cool too. They were really nice interesting people! Basically it was perfect.

I've been listening tot he band since I was 11, while I still lived in the Philippines. The warfield was a really good place to have the concert. I weasled my way to the front and center of the floor. I wish they stayed for autographs our went down the stage to talk to some of the fans. I was disappointed at that since I've wanted to see them since they came out. Next time should be the charm, but the show was AMAZING.

Seen the Bravery 4 times in the last two years and they deliver every time. Wish the new album had been out prior to this show. The Warfield is an outstanding venue to see a show.

Very high energy, in spite of a mediocre crowd. Loved the new stuff, but I wish they had played more from The Sun and the Moon. Some of the songs were just a revelation to see live.

I'd have to say that this concert was not the absolute best concert I've ever been to, but that might not be fair, because I've been to a *lot* of concerts. This concert, however, was by far the highest-energy show I've ever seen. Even the opening bands were very entertaining. Although I would not have sought out their music, nor did I feel like it was in the same genre as The Bravery, they were very high-energy and by the end of their set, I was definitely not thinking "Jeez, I wish these guys would leave already..." like I normally do with most opening bands. The Bravery themselves were great. They played all their best songs, and even though they are a pretty high-energy synth-pop group, they surprised me with how much liveliness they brought to their music. The venue was very intimate, and we ate at the House of Blues beforehand, so we got to get in early to be right next to the stage for a great concert experience!

The sick sounds of the keyboard opened up the 1st set. The backdrop with black n white "soft porn" during their new song "Hate F*(k" was very suitable and had interesting graphics throughout the night that intertwined the music with the imagery. I'm familiar with The Bravery's sound but not song names and they played a lot of familiar sounds as well as fantastic new songs.

Great show. The bravery are great live! My only complaint is the short set. They only played for a hour.

From the start the Bravery was an energetic, fun group with their own style. Awesome vocals and very entertaining. I would recommend it to everyone. I truly enjoy it, Dan the Man

I was so excited to finally see The Bravery, but i didn't expect to enjoy the other two band who performed before The Bravery: The dustys & The living things. I really enjoyed the show: the lights, general performance & Sam's voice :)

they rocked last night and i had a great time. They have such a unique sound and some really good songs i would definatley recommend checking them out.

really good show. The bravery put a super cool show. Very very hyped crowd

I didn't get a chance to see The Dustys, I arrived too late. The Living Things were ok, I haven't heard much of their stuff. The Bravery played a mix of their past songs and a few from their upcoming album. I have the earlier albums and enjoy their music, but the show seemed flat. I see several concerts a month (more than 4) so I have to say of the acts I've seen in the past 30 days ( She Wants Revenge, Echo and the Bunnymen, Gossip, Snow Patrol, The Heavy, Darker My Love, Manchester Orchestra, Brand New and Pearl Jam) this was the lowest ranking. I just expected more from this band at this venue. It has been a great month of shows, in a different month it might have seemed stronger. Like I said, it may have just been me.

The show was amazing! The dustys and Living things were really good as well, and seeing the Bravery come in at the last band was mind blowing as I waited to see my favorite band finally play!

Such an awesome show. They play amazingly live and have a huge amount of energy! Cannot wait till they come around again!! Loved itt

From start to finish, the show was awesome! The Bravery Killed it!!!

I was hella cool. yes. i said hella. i wished it would have never ended.

This was a great concert. The Live things were great the lead singer is very Mick Jagger and the Bravery were great as usual they put on a fantastic show

The band is good and was the perfect venue. An honest mistake was an awesome performance. However, their set was only 1 hour long even with the encore. Many people felt the same way after the show was over. They need to play all their hits and didn't play enough from the Sun and Moon.

We were looking forward to the show, but they were so much better than we even expected. Sound was awesome and big! Love, love, love. We met them after and all of the band was super talkative and great with our group of teenagers. We'll definitely see them again. I love this venue too. HOB was great and sound is awesome..

I have waited a few years to see this band in concert. If you didn't go you missed one hell of a show! Interactive with the audience. High energy! Would definately see them again next time around. All the band members were friendly and outgoing at the signing party. Loved the idea of selling CD's with VIP passes in order to attend it. The Bravery is definately a MUST SEE.

What an amazing show! I've seen them every time they come into the Dallas area. Haven't missed one yet!!!!

They put on such a good show. This is the third time i have seen them and never a disappointment. They have changed the bands looks; however the energy is still cool.

These guys are the best..........by far one of the best bands to see in concert~!!!!!!!!!

I wasn't really familiar with the band before the concert. My 12 year old daughter is a huge fan so I took her to the show wich she thought was amazing. After hearig about half the set I was pleasantly suprised with the song writing and musicianship

They put on a fantastic show! Great energy! They played all there great hits from the earlier cd's and a few new ones. Me and my girl rocked it out!

There show was so good; i rocked out so hard. They mixed a little bit of old stuff and some new stufff. Opening bands Crash Kings and The Dustys were very good too. I met one of them, theyw ere really nice :)

The cover bands werent all that great BUT the wait was definitely worth the while. They were all very down to earth, talented and friendly guys, i got to hang out with them. The atmosphere was just perfect, parking in the venue is free which is a plus, very well located in Fort Lauderdale. The security in the venue is well equipped, very safe. Plenty of bars in all corners of the venue. You have an opportunity to be VERY upclose to your favorite bands, literally at their feet. If you love The Bravery as much as I do, then you should definitely go see them!!!! I love you guys!!-kathy+tabby

We LOVED this concert. Perfect venue for these 2 bands...Crystal Ballroom in Portland!! The sound was great...lots of room to watch the bands and good beer selection! Both bands seemed like they really enjoyed the crowd, which made it a great overall experience!! (3rd time seeing both bands for us)

The House of Blues in Chicago was an excellent venue for the bravery. The average sized arena together with the new age dance rockin beat of the group made it a soul-pounding experience that should not be missed. The band was right in your face, delivering a breath-taking performance; one that will not be forgotten.

Twisted is such an awesome event, The House of Blues did a great job hosting it again. The opening band, As Tall As Lions were amazing. They did such a good job opening and keeping the crowd entertained. Manchester Orachestra preformed very well, this was my second time seeing them and I was even more blown away. EVERYONE should see them live. The Bravery, were good too. I probly would not go buy tickets to see them again, but they had a lot of energy and played catchy tunes you could tap your foot to. I so recommend that people go to Twisted, and if you didnt get to go this year...I would buy tickets for next year.

All three bands were awesome!! The Bravery's sound was not quite right initially, but they worked it out and played a spectacular selection of songs!! (wish they had played Bad Sun, but still good). I had never heard of As Tall as Lions before, but I definitely want to hear more after seeing the show, as well as Manchester Orchestra!! Second year in a row to go, so maybe it's something I will have to continue to attend! Plus, the House of Blues is a sweet venue! Overall, it was a fabulous time!!

I have to start with Taller Than Lions. The band's music online sounds mediocre at best, but I have to give them props for giving a solid live performance. They sounded good and I was particularly impressed with their drummer. Manchester Orchestra was by far the best band of the night. Every band member was on point and the lead singer killed it. I found myself lost in the beat, melody, and lyrics. I also really appreciated that they went straight from one song to the next in their set. This band is one to watch. Next time they'll be headlining. The Bravery was truly disappointing. Their lead singer really had a Mick Jagger complex and was often inaudible and off pitch. The songs from the new CD suck and it was really sad to see the crowd was not feeling it. At the end of the night it was clear that had the band not played music from their previous CD--which is really good--they would have completely lost the audience. Even despite this small redemptive point, many people appeared to be so drunk that you would have thought they just came for the alcohol.

As Tall As Lions started off with a very energetic performance but they should have played longer! Manchester Orchestra performed good and loud and played for a decent amount of time. Then The Bravery, last but certainly not least, toppe doff the night with a performance that got better with every song!

Went last night to see Manchester Orchestra and they didn't disappoint. They are really an outstanding live band and I love their music. The sounded great, played a good mix of new and older songs...I only wish they had played longer than 45 minutes.

One of the best shows I've been to. Simply fantastic performances by The Bravery and The Airborne Toxic Event. Two different styles of music, yet equally impressive. Anya Marina was very good as well. It's too bad she wasn't able to do more than two songs. But this show was rocking. Sold out and very energetic, it was a blast to be there. If you have a chance to see either band, try to. You won't be disappointed!

Very cool show, nice energy. i don't have anything else to say.

This was a fantastic show. Airborne continues to grow musically, bringing more power, and a few surprises. Opening with a trio of covers was beautiful. The Yo La Tengo was fantastic. The Bravery were also FANTASTIC, Hate Fuck and slow poison were great numbers.

I didn't know what to expect from The Bravery, but I'd always heard airborne toxic event was a good show. and so they were! at first they introduced Airborne as the Bravery so I was really confused when "The Bravery" was covering Airborne songs ;) Maybe I was just being drunk. Anyway, then The Bravery came on and I just was not impressed. I am not a fan of 80's pop, and they were just too much of a throwback throwup for me.

I didn't realize how much I actually enjoy the Bravery til I heard them live. Their musical prowess, ability to just flat out rock and animated lead singer made for a fantastic show!

I think the title is self explanatory. The Bravery put on an amazing show...........high energy. Airborne Toxic Event was fantastic and so was Anya Marina. Very happy to have the opportunity to go to a GREAT show with GREAT artists that I could easily afford (the tickets were only $10!) Did I mention the show was AMAZING?!

The Bravery played old songs as well as new ones. I thoroughly enjoyed this concert. Two thumbs up!! Airborne Toxic Event was excellent as well. I was only familiar with a few of their songs, but I liked all of them. Don't miss out on these two great bands!

I saw the Bravery in Seattle when they opened for Green Day. They wre ok. Their sound seemed lost at the Key Arena. BUT at the Crystal Ballroom they rocked! These New Yorkers had the crowd moving and dancing especially when they performed their hit, "Honest Mistake" They were awesome!

It was really enjoyable especially because I was right up front. the only down side was the crazy fans who wanted to mosh the whole time and shoved everyone into the gates... but it was great music for an AWESOME price!!

Great high energy show - both bands really rocked.

I was excited for this event because it was the all ages and I wanted to attend with my teenage kids. Airborne Toxic Event is a talented band with members that played multiple instruments resulting in a unique sound. We agreed we would all go see them again. I love The Bravery but they weren't the highlight this time...

This was great! I felt the music and it was the bomb.

I bought tickets for this show when they first went on sale back a few months ago. The reason I gave them a four instead of a five was because the lack of a good opener made the waiting for the band almost unbearable but once the bravery took stage it was amazing and I don't regret standing for the first two and a half hours.

This concert was amazing. We were on the rail in front of the stage so it was almost like a personal concert. The energy was very high, especially when they performed "Believe" and "Honest Mistake". You could really tell they were having fun. They loved interacting with the crowd, despite the crowd's minor lack of appreciation for the band's performance. Overall great performance, but I lost a bit of respect for the band after I met them afterwards... they were a bit rude. I can't complain though because they played a great show and I won't judge them on their character, only on their music, which rocked. The Living Things really brought it in their last night opening for the Bravery. Unfortunately they sound way better live..I looked up their songs on iTunes and was not impressed at all.

The Bravery sounded great and they were certainly enthusiastic and gave us a good look into what we can anticipate when their new album is released. I was disappointed that Living Things had to cancel because their van and trailer were stolen, as they were the band I was really excited to hear.

The show was SO good!!! I liked the small room at the Showbox and how easy it was to get close to the stage!! I've been following the Bravery since they first came out and took my daughter to this show, she loved them too!! It was also unbelievable to get to meet them after at the meet and greet. One of the best shows I've ever been to.

This was my first time seeing them in concert. The sound was excellent and the sound was tight. The lead singer is dreamy.... I would see them again in a moments notice.

The Bravery was great. I had not seen them play before. It was worth the 2 hour drive. They played old and a couple of new songs. I love The Bravery and seeing them perform made me like them even more. They don't sound bad live like I've heard so many people say. Great band!!

Very cool to hear some of the inspirations for some of my favorite Bravery songs - "Time Won't Let Me Go" inspired by the novel "The Outsiders" (one of my favorite books growing up) and "Believe" dedicated to a Brooklyn bar he said he had spent lots of time writing in...the bar closed down, so it lives on thru the song! I was a little worried the sound would be too loud in The Warfield, but it was great!! I loved every minute of it. I was especially happy to be sitting upstair in the balcony - granted I could barely stay still in my seat. Got to admit, I'm a little old for bumping around into each other. LOL

The Bravery put on an awesome show for everybody at the Fine Line Cafe. They played all but one of my favorite songs, and I have a lot of favorite songs by them. The performance was great and they were playing and singing amazingly. The new stuff they played definitely did not let down either and had me looking forward to their new album at the end of this year. Living Things was a good opening act to listen to as well and sounded very good.

Sound was terrible in my opinon. The bass drowned out his low tone voice and was hard to hear him most of the time. The higher end sound was also having problems throughout the show. Disapointed with the overerall show and wish the Bravery would spend more time tuneing their equipment better.
