The Parlotones

We stumbled upon this band in Dublin, Ireland 7 years ago when we were vacationing over there. We asked a cab driver for a great live music venue in the area and we ended up at a place called Whelan's and the Parlotones were playing there. It was an amazing concert and I stayed afterwards to meet the band. The past 7 years I've been following them and watching them progress and take steps to make it big in the U.S. I've seen them EVERY time they come to Dallas. This was by far the best I've seen them perform live since we saw them in Ireland 7 years ago. As always, I stayed afterwards to chat with the band and they were in the best spirits I've seen them in. it was great to see them so excited and passionate to talk to their fans. I look forward to them returning in September!!!

Great underated new band that could well be the next 'big thing'

Kahn and crew really pulled out all the stops and ROCKED the Mercury Lounge on Friday night. The venue was intimate, but well attended and the band went to great lengths to ensure everyone had a good time including hanging about at the bar to meet loyal fans beforehand. Should The Parlotones play NYC again we will be thirst in line to get tickets. Highly recommended.

Unreal show. the silent comedy rocked it and was by far the best band ive seen in some time. get them back here ASAP

This was perhaps the best concert I've been to all summer so far (and I've been to a good 5 or 6, most of which were pretty good). I came for the Parlotones, who I knew somewhat, but fell COMPLETELY in love with after seeing them live. They are totally my new music obsession of the moment. I didn't know the Alternate Routes, but I quite enjoyed them as well. (Also, for some reason, the Parlotones brought out the high schooler in me that I haven't seen since...high school. I kind of have a huge crush, and that's why I may sound like I'm 15 in this review... Very abnormal for me.)

I Sooo Loved the Hard rock Cafe !!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i LOVED THE DAYLIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY REALLY ROCKED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STRONG RECOMMEND EVERYONE GO SEE THE DAYLIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Parlotones put on one of the best live shows I've ever seen. It was great to see them in such an intimate venue.

I have been wanting to go see the Parlotones for some time now.. Never thought they would show up in Pittsburgh! They are really nice guys who make some fantastic music! Plus it was great to hear a South African accent again.

The Most Memorable Concert I have ever been to!! :) My Fave Band!! We had a Blast~ Will see them again soooon!! Muah xoxo

5 stars all round. These guys certainly know how to do it. Phenomenal band, can't wait for the rest of the world to meet them too.

The Parlotones at the Magic Stick rocked! They were incredible. We have seen them before but this show was even better. Great show, meet and greet after the show. Autographs and good times! The Parlotones, a must see band.

Show was amazing. Parlotones absolutely rocked, even though the crowd was small they still brought it. They sounded great live and are sure to be a huge hit in the states in the coming future!

I was looking for something fun to do on Friday night with my friend and found this show in Detroit. We had an awesome time, what a great band. The cover band Xylos were real good too.

The overall experience was hurt by a few factors. 1- The first act, a local band, Small Noises, were horrible. I wish I couldn't say that, but the truth is, the they need one thing to make them better and that is a front man. Musically, these guys were really raw and were you could feel the emotion and power in their music. The front man/guitarist was just horrible vocally and it completely killed the act for me. 2- Acoustically, something was off for The Parlotones, I don't know what it was, because it didn't seem that way for the other two bands, so I don't know if it was mic placement or what, but sometimes the music was overwhelmingly loud that it was sometimes hard to hear the vocals. 3- The show suffered for having 2 opening acts as most of the crowd groaned through Small noises and then were disappointed when Xylos came on and not The Parlotones. Xylos was a really good opening act. Great band to showcase. I had never heard of them and will definitely be checking them out. They were very polished for a band that is just putting out their first CD. The Parlotones, outside of the accoustic issues were just Amazing. They are just solid. This is my second time seeing them. Once as an opening act and now as the featured band. Both times they were great. They play every bit as cleanly live as they do on their album. I hope they really catch on Stateside, because they deserve the attention. Great show by them.

Awesome event. Opening acts were good and the Parlotones were a steal for the price. They were excellent..

Show was awesome. Sound was good and it was amazing to see one of the most popular bands of South Africa in such a small, cozy venue

I really loved this band's live performance. I bought one of their albums in December, and love the music. When I heard they were playing nyc, I got a ticket (only $15???) immediately. The lead singer puts on a great show - love his dramatics and face paint. Music is really solid and great to rock out to.
