The Wombats

Fantastic show at a fantastic venue. The Wombats took the stage and simply never stopped. Lots of energy and lots of amazing music from this 3 man band. I was near the back of the club and was less than 30 feet from the stage. I have seen hundreds of bands live and this show jumped easily into my top 10!

This was the second Wombats concert I've been to and I really don't know how to describe it other than UNFORGETABLE. It's not just that Murph (and Tord and Dan) are amazing live, they might actually better live than on their recordings, but the feel of a Wombats concert is like nothin I've ever experienced before. Mosh pits have started during both shows I've been to (both in Columbus) which shouldn't really happen at an indie rock concert but does anyway. There's just so much energy behind all their songs and in every person jam packed into that venue waiting to see this amazing trio. You may have to get through a few opening acts (which are usually good so don't close your mind) And a bit of a wait for the sound check, but it is all SO worth it! Murph is so interactive with the crowd and Tord bounces around the stage like a little ball of bass-playing energy. If you're looking for a real show with a band that has real talent, look no further than the Wombats!

Last Wednesday night was possibly one of the best nights of my life. Not only did the Wombats do a phenomenal job during the actual concert, but I got to meet them beforehand. I love that these three Liverpultians are comfortable just walking outside and meeting fans. As for the show itself, I was in the front row and had a blast! The Wombats were even better live than they are recorded, and that's saying something. The overall energy for this show was really high, and I think everyone had a lovely time!

Hate to be cliché but got to say my fave was the encore "Let's dance to joy division" - everybody revved up with a mini moshpit in front of the stage. Regretted wearing flip flops, but totally worth the re-pedicure.

Knowing that that band is huge in Europe, I couldn't pass up the chance to see them live in NYC. The best part, the ticket price ($13)! I am always a bit weary about young bands playing live. Well, my fear was tossed aside after hearing the first song. They played hard and the sound was damn near recording quality-- which can be a rarity for these indie bands. I would not pass up the chance to see them if they come to your town. My only concern is that I will never see them play such a small venue again-- which is great for them!

The Wombats played an awesome show; I only knew a few of their songs going into it, but I had an amazing time! They just had so much energy and were having a lot of fun, and the venue was small and nice, allowing them to really engage the fans. Everyone I went with agreed, this show was unforgettable!

I hadn't listened to much of Morning Parade before, but they put on a really great show. Then the Wombats came on and it was absolutely fantastic, it was the end of their tour so they were all really pumped up. At the end, the lead singer of the wombats told everybody to get crazy, a mosh pit happened, and the other band came out dressed up as superheroes

The Wombats sounded great and had amazing energy! It was a fantastic show in a great venue. Morning Parade was equally great as the opening band, and they made it a lot of fun when they took the stage in costume at the end of the night.

I haven't been to too many concerts but this one was by far the most energetic I've ever experienced. Not only were the songs memorable, the crowd-artist chemistry was amazing. I think this was aided by the intimacy of the venue, but I think that anywhere, the style of both bands would lend themselves to creating a completely worthwhile experience.

British bands, hands down, put on the most entertaining shows! It was clear from the get-go that both Morning Parade and The Wombats were great friends and knew how to have fun together. Rarely do I get to go to a concert where I love all the bands performing this much. I enjoyed every minute. Thanks for coming to Boston!!

Great show, great set. Overall sound in the house could have been balanced better, but wasn't too bad.

The Wombats were amazing! They were so energetic and you could tell that they were just having a good time. Murph and Dan were cracking jokes between songs and having fun with the crowd and Tord was just all over the stage jumping around and having fun during the songs. It was great. As for the opening acts, Morning Parade and The Royal Concept, they were awesome! I liked The Royal Concept a bit more than Morning Parade, but props to MP because they were an incredibly nice group of guys and their music wasn't bad.

The show was awesome. Morning Parade really put on a really good show and got the crowd warmed up. The Wombats were brilliant. They showed tons of energy, cracked a few jokes during the show, and sounded better with every song. It definitely makes the show more entertaining when the guys on stage look like they are having as good a time as you are, and you can tell those guys love to play music as much as I enjoyed listening to it. I would definitely (and plan on) seeing The Wombats again if they ever come back to Columbus.

For only knowing of them for about a month, and having their CD This Modern Glitch for 3 weeks I love this band. Tokyo needs to more play everywhere! They really got the crowd in a fervor with their act! I am not afraid to admit that being a 40 something, their music reminds me of the great alt bands of the 80s! My wife knew nothing of them before the show and she loved them as well! Keep it up Lads!

Fine Line Cafe was a nice, small venue. Allowed for a close-up feel, while at the same time letting a good number of attendees. The Wombats were fantastic live, and I danced the whole time! They also had 2 great openers.

I'm gonna be honest here, as much as I love The Wombats, they aren't my favorite band. Nevertheless, I'd say that this was the best concert I've ever been to, I even feel like it was better than the concert I've seen of my favorite band. The energy was amazing, the stage banter was incredible, the sound quality was great, and they really knew how to control the crowd. Not only did they play nearly every song off of This Modern Glitch, but they also played a good selection of songs from Guide to Love, Loss, and Desperation.

The band was old and I believe their accents were fake.

Show and the Venue were amazing! The Wombats are exceptional live performers and listening to their albums is now depressing because of how great they are live. Can't wait to go to another show!

They put on a simply amazing show... this, their amazing music and the fact that they are absolute gems in person make me love Murph, Dan and Tord so much. They put everything they have into their shows. This was my second time seeing them and they made this night even more unforgettable than the last.

I arrived perfect in time. The band was getting ready, I was getting ready and it started! The location was very cool! You were able to see the band from everywhere pretty close. It was an amazing atmosphere. They played a lot of good songs. Everybody jumped, danced and sang! You really were able to see that the guys love their job - they had sooo much fun and it was so much fun to watch and to listen to them! Just Great!

This concert was truly amazing! The Wombats were full of energy and the performance was incredible! Also I was very impressed with the opening band Flagship. They were pretty awesome and I enjoyed them so much that I purchased their cd.

Their set was so energised and so well thought out. The crowd was okay. Kind of rude. The floor vibrated the whole show. I was disappointed that they didn't play Backfire at the Disco but the show was completely worth it anyway. Would see them again in a heartbeat.

Amazing! Small crowd, so more close and personal. The Wombats were amazing live! And super funny!

It was an amazing combination of bands, nice discoveries and a spectacular main course. So much fun.

The Wombats played a great show at Webster Hall. The band played hard and with lots of passion. The music sounded great, but not exactly the same way as it does on the CD, so that was refreshing. All in all, a really fun concert.

Great energy. Great lads. Awesome show. Second time seeing them front row. Would see them anytime they're back in NY.

My experience at the Wombats concert at Webster Hall was great! The venue was nice-- security did it's job and was professional, and the venue had a great atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed the show the Wombats put on. I couldn't find a single flaw-- the band was lively and energetic, the singing was great, and so were the instrumentals. The Wombats attracted a wide variety of fans, ranging from teenage hipsters to middle age couples which really shows their ability to play diverse and interesting music. I definitely recommend seeing them!

Loved the openers. Spring Tigers were pretty good, but The Postelles were really great. Bought their CD after the show. The Wombats were stellar.

I've seen Arcade Fire, Matt and Kim, and Phoenix just to name a few, and I enjoyed this show more. It's hard to describe it...just mix heartfelt emotions, drunken British banter, and explosive dance rock. I must see them again!

The Wombats were great...but truth be told, the Postelles stole the show. They are going to be big!

Honestly one of the most fun experiences I've had. I've been listening and looking forward to seeing the Wombats for years and it finally paid off. Just the three of them managed to give a great concert with so much energy and passion for their quirky songs and ridiculous lyrics. I was in heaven, and it was in the great Webster hall so it really was heaven.

First of all, this was the most punctual show I have EVER seen, and that's a real selling point for those of us who have work the next morning. The Postelles were marvelous as expected (the front man is great in person) and the Wombats were an absolute force. They played a generous 1 hr 15 minute set and were absolutely beloved by the crowd.

I'm so happy an awesome british band that I've loved for years has finally come to America. The show was great, the setlist was choice, overall it was a cathartic and spectacular

wot a gig the wombats were great. They were rite up 4 it and very entertaining brill nite and great venue 2.

Venue - perfect...makes me realize how good our we bands are at home, i was able to go to glastonbury or oxygen or redding. Alot of talent..these boys sure do have.

This was my second time seeing The Wombats, and I'm even more impressed with them then I was the first time. Although there were a few minor technical issues, the band played it off well with their usual humor. I think they played a decent number of songs, although I think the encore could've been longer. However, since they'd just arrived from Australia, I won't hold it against them lol!! Love this group, and can't wait for them to come back!

The Wombats are great! Had an amazing time at this show, as did the crowd. People were jumping up and down, and dancing a good part of the show. Their music for the most part is upbeat, and I just love "Moving to NY." Usually at Bowery Ballroom it tends to be fairly easy to find your way to the front. This show, that was impossible. In order to be up close you had to be there really early. An added bonus: at the very end, The Wombats all crowd-surfed! So freakin' cool to witness that!

First, the venue was awesome; it was really intimate and allowed you to feel like you were right there in stage with the band. Wild Party, the opening act was really good too, one of he best warm up bands I've seen at a show like this. The Wombats really fed off the crowd's energy and seem genuinely extremely excited to be there. Most of the crowd was singing along throughout the concert and you could see in the band's grins that they hadn't been expecting this and we're pumped to see the crowd so into it. After the encore all 3 band members took dives into the crowd which was unreal.

It was a great concert. Both opening acts were good and the wombats were amazing!

Great show from The Wombats! Definitely worth the wait since the last time I saw them. Both of the openers, Nation of Language and Courtship were really good, too. Extremely happy with my experience at this show.

They put on an amazing show! The opening acts (The Nation of Language and Courtship) were really good as well! Very much enjoyed the venue and the atmosphere. Sound was great. People were nice.

Fantastic concert. The venue was very nice in that you could sit or stand - nice option for the opening bands vs. the headliner. The Wombats are as energetic as ever and are very entertaining - something about a band that does more than just play their songs. Also, keep an eye on the opening band - courtship. They were the surprise of the night with a very lively 40 minutes of great music.

Wombats put on a great show and the crowd was very energetic. Band played my favorites, and interacted with the fans. Even the worst seats (GA) were still within 100 feet of the stage.

I had high hopes going in but The Wombats turned out to be even better than I expected. Tons of energy. Loved the set list. I would definitely see these guys again.

I loved this concert, the band sounded amazing and were very high energy. The crowd they attracted was also a benefit, everyone was having a blast and the concert radiated such a positive vibe. I would no doubt go again!

This was my first show at CenterStage. Had been to Vinyl a couple of times, but never CenterStage until Tuesday. Very impressed with the easy in and out and very clean venue. Sound quality was excellent, not a bad seat in the house. Since I am a little older than most of the fans of the Wombats, I opted for the seats toward the back in the center . The seat was great, but could not escape the two fellows behind me who insisted on having a full volume conversation throughout the show. I guess I could have moved or said something, but I chose to ignore it. Bottom line is that I miss the days of being able to enjoy a concert without somebody's selfish behavior taking away from the show. Overall a great night, but I will never get used to rude folks at concerts.

The Wombats were amazing, and Center Stage is a great venue. However I was disappointed with the opener, Coast Modern. I would highly recommend seeing The Wombats! They created an awesome atmosphere and sounded fantastic live.

They sound amazing live and have fantastic energy. They seem to really love what they do. 10/10 would go again

My first time seeing The Wombats and definitely not my last. I definitely recommend catching them if you ever get the opportunity, a great sound and very uplifting. Even if you don't know many songs you can still have a great time at their show, and if you know The Wombats you'll have an even greater time. The Wombats music is perfectly rebellious while still keeping that pop-style dance sound with an uplifting vibe to it. Terminal 5 was a perfect venue to catch these guys in, any small venues would be ideal!

The Wombats put on an incredible show! The openers were a lively bunch, too!

Amazing live show. Sound just as good live as they do on their albums.

Fantastic show! Loved that it wasn't sold out..showed how loyal true fans are! Great energy, bands played great songs. Loved the ones I knew and greatly enjoyed new ones. Short and sweet, with great stage energy, this was a show I am very glad I didn't miss!

The girls enjoyed the show, but I have to say that a few things we were very disappointed in were the fact that we paid for the "food option" and when they tried to locate where the food was being served, they couldn't find it. They asked for assistance and no one had any idea as to what they were talking about. We intentionally did not feed them because they were going to get dinner at the venue, but instead, even though we prepaid for this service, they had to go hungry. On top of that, the show ran longer than expected, with the Wombats playing hours after start time. That would have been fine had we known, and then we could have picked up the girls to get them something to eat. Again, the show was great...but we are VERY disappointed that we paid for a service that we did not receive!

Great live band at an iconic venue. Life in Film were really good, too.

The Wombats literally have the most amazing energy on stage. They are some of the most passionate performers, especially Tord the bassist. I would recommend seeing them in a heart beat.

First time visit to the Hollow. Happily it was a warm evening as we waited outside well past the 7 p.m. door open hour. Venue is great small place to see a band. I would recommend getting there early as the room is much deeper than it is wide, and you could end up pretty far from the stage when the room fills up. We were at the stage and the Wombats put on a fun show, well engaged with the audience and quite funny. The lead singer when asked to get crazy, came down into the audience to sing a song. Toward the end of the show it was pretty warm and stinky! Could have used some fresh air.

An amazing concert. Perfect venue for it because even though it was sold out I still had a little bubble of air around me. The Wombats were fabulous as I knew they would be and all the fans were having fun but also being relatively respectful of each other. I would highly recommend this. :)

I went to see the Wombats with my brother, and luckily, we got there early enough to get a really good spot. We were only inches from the stage, and the moment they started playing, I had completely forgotten my tired feet (we had been standing for over two hours already due to the previous acts). There is nothing like seeing your favorite band performed live, and their set list was wonderful. Of course I wished that they could have played every one of their songs, but as they couldn't, the ones they chose were excellent, and I only wish that they were coming back to Boston soon so I could see them again. One of the best nights of my life. Paradise Rock Club was a wonderful venue, and the intimate setting made it feel so much more personal and unforgettable. Loved every moment.

The Wombats are a fantastic live band. Even though i think the new album is more pop-ish and synthesizer in a way, the show itself was actually a little harder on the guitars, in a way that i liked. Some of the guys clearly didn't feel great, but worked through it, and the crowd was energetic and fun. I hope for their sake that they take off as a band even more, but for my sake, i love seeing them at smaller venues like the Paradise.

Great band. Great venue (Mercury Lounge). Great price

The Wombats are flawless in every way. Their live performance puts their recorded music (which is fantastic) to shame, which is definitely something I wouldn't say about every band. Their own unique blend of manic musical energy and devil-may-care apathetic wit are sure to charm anyone with half a brain. Their uncanny ability to make an entire room dance with abandon is only one of the things that makes them great. Without a doubt the best time I've ever had at a concert, and I can't wait to see them again. (And I won't wait long -- they're coming back in April and I've already got my ticket.)

i really loved the wombats show it was at a small venue and the stage was small but it was the BEST show i have Ever been to and they sound amazing live!! they really know what they are doing. i really loved the openers Morning Parade they were really great as well. this was the best show ive seen live.

This show was seriously the greatest I've ever been to. Openers (morning parade) were awesome and so were the Wombats themselves. Morning Parade gained a new fan that night. They were fantastic live. They didn't get a huge reception from the crowd, but people were cheering and clapping along, etc. The Wombats then came out and did their set (fantastically). Banter between the band was great, Murph sounded phenomenal, people were crowd surfing, and the guys reached out into the crowd when they were done. It was pretty awesome. Few little problems: I didn't get a fast pass ticket, so naturally I got to the venue an hour early. (And I got to see Murph walking into the venue for the sound check!) I was surprised to see there was already a sizable line, but once we got into the venue I still managed to get right behind the people in front of the gate. My problem was that the people in the front didn't move.... at all. I think they might've swayed during Jump into the Fog, but that was seriously it. In hindsight, it was great because with them not moving I had a great view between their shoulders, but at the time it was annoying. Another little problem was the wait. After waiting an hour in line to get in, the let us into the venue at around 6:45. Show was set to start at 7. Openers didn't go on till 8 and there was a good 20 minutes break between them and the Wombats. Granted, it was totally worth the wait... but still. tl;dr - Wombats and Morning Parade are fantastic live.

Great show, cool atmosphere, excellent opener. Such a FUN show friendly fans.

I purchased tickets for this event in August for the show in October... i've been looking forward to it for months and it exceeded my expectations. SO AMAZING.
