The Maccabees

Formed in 2004, five-piece band the Maccabees has quickly  risen from humble beginnings to Mercury Music Prize nominations. Featuring Orlando Weeks as lead vocalist, guitars played by brothers Felix and Hugo White, Rupert Jarvis playing bass and Sam Doyle drumming, the band's three studio albums to date represent the epitome of British indie rock. With a strong and growing fan base, the band's regular tours have brought them into direct contact with their supporters and allowed more people to hear their unique sound.The release of their first single in 2005, entitled “X-Ray,” was picked up by XFM-Radio.

Purgatory is a small stage so the gig wasn't too big but it was perfect and they all looked like they were having a fun time playing. Both Of the opening acts, Gambles and Reputante, were also amazing. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

The venue was great, decent size. The performance was spectacular then again it's The Maccabees so it was bound to be an unforgettable night! I have so much love for this band and I've been waiting some years for them to tour the U. S. more. Every member is extremely talented and I love that with these past tours they did, they're getting the appreciation they deserve. Maccabees, one love!

It's my first Maccabees concert and first concert in NYC. And I didn't regret going there even though I was alone.

Beautiful, honest and heartfelt music at it's best!! They sound great live and have so much energy and charisma on stage, you can't get your eyes off of them!! Felix White is so playful with the crowd, always smiling and interacting with the fans!! The vocals and harmonies are beautiful! The whole band is awesomely talented! I can't praise them enough, they ROCK!! After the show, they came out to meet and greet fans, and stayed for over an hour, just hanging out, talking to each and every fan and answering our questions and requests! It was amazing, I can't believe how down to earth and candid they are!! So giving, open and sweet! They don't just have a way with WORDS, they have a way with PEOPLE!

It was amazing to see a band as big as the Maccabees play such an intimate venue as Great Scott. It was a blistering set. My favorite gig of the year so far (and that's against some major competition.)

The show was amazing. We were practically on the stage ourselves. However, there was this huge wooden beam in front of the stage so it was hard to see around that.

This band rocked! I am a huge fan and I traveled all the way from Florida just to watch them perform on Valentine's day and on Saturday. I got to meet the guys and they were such sweethearts. The set list was to die for. They played all the great ones. I do wish they would have played Latchmere but maybe next time. The band was so full of energy and the crowd was amazing. I totally recommend anyone to go see them live if you ever get a chance. You won't regret it.

Best concert i've ever been to. I love that the stage is not barricaded from the fans, and the bands were all very friendly and walked around the bar chatting with fans. AMAZING

I didn't know any of their songs before going to this concert. But that didn't seem to matter because I was dancing and smiling along with everyone else to their upbeat jams. The band was really enjoying themselves, which carried out into the crowd. I was very impressed with their showmanship and their constant connection with their fans.

The even starfted a little late because the opening act was late. But when the Maccabees were on I forgot all about it. They had great stage presence and sounded awesome. After the show was done they were nice enough to take pictures and talk to us before they had to leave.

I'll keep it short and sweet: I've wanted to see The Maccabees live for a few years ever since I saw them on Fearless Music and got their records. Nothing compares to hearing your favorite songs live and The Maccabees didn't disappoint. I will see them every time they come to town

They played a great set. The venue was tiny and it was awesome to see them so close in person. I even had a chance to a chance to talk with them afterwords over a drink.

Once again and what a 5 year wait. The Mac's know how to pull out a show. I hope next time they don't take another 5 years.

Loved this show! I've been listening to the Maccabees since they were nonamers and was so glad they finally came to Atlanta. I like that your always guaranteed a good view at the Masquerade since its a smaller venue, and the Maccabees totally rocked it. It was fun seeing Florence show up too! Felix was so sweet to stick around afterwards and talk to everyone in a really humble way. Respect!

This was such a small personal venue, it was beautiful. The acoustics were clear and everyone had a wonderful time and everyone just had the biggest grin on their face. The Maccabees performance was unforgettable and truly amazing. I am forever grateful I got to experience this live performance!

Truly revelatory. Their studio work is great, but live they are sensational. Great energy, and an act worthy of praise. One of the best shows I've seen in a while. Not your usual stage set up; 4 guitars, base, keys, and drums, but it translated into something special.

This show was awesome! great energy by the band and audience. It was really amazing that they came to NY since I was already planning to go to the UK to see them in the future, being a long time fan I wanted to see them live. Can't wait to see them again!
