I was surprised that this show was not a packed house! The opening act (Vita and the Woolf) was phenomenal. The lead singer had such a strong voice with a great range. This was my first time hearing them and I was able to enjoy every song without ever hearing them before. The Lighthouse and the Whaler sounded great! Both bands were so great and played for the intimate group just as if they were playing a sold out show. I appreciated the friendliness of the band members and willingness to engage after the show.

Very enjoyable show. The crowd was great for a Tuesday, which always helps. LATW rolled out some really great, new songs - be on the lookout for "Brothers" and "Old World".

Love these guys! They are so much fun and have a ton of energy, plus if you stick around they are super down to earth and are happy to chat with fans. Each member plays a minimum of 3 instruments.. so the show is like musical chairs with them switching around for each song. fun :) The crowd at Mercury Lounge can be kind of mellow so if you see a show here bring energetic friends!

This band had a very unique and incredibly overwhelming sound, I can't wait until they get more time on stage!! They opened for temper trap in Detroit, Mi...by the time they walked off the stage I forgot I was actually there to see temper trap, I got so wrapped up in their music. The whole band had a passion and sync that is very rare...you get a chance check these guys out!!
