Our home town theater seats about 1300 but there was so much energy that it felt like a large arena. From the opening song, Hamilton was clearly enjoying the evening and it was infectious. And Hamilton has put together a band that's second to none. There's a whole lot more than just notes flowing from Fabian Hernandez' sax when blows. If you don't get goosebumps, you ain't listenin'. Armando and Dante command a constant toe tap that moves up the legs and then throughout. And they surprise during their encore by doing something no one would think possible.

Totally old school. It took me ten minutes to get an autograph from Denise LaSalle (me standing awkwardly in her face until she finished doing what she was doing). I waited four years to finally see her in concert and meet her and the whole experience was not what I expected. I thought she'd be happy to see fans still coming out. I felt cheated as a fan. Her performance was good, but it was totally unorganized once she got off the stage.

The combination of both American Authors and Royal Teeth is what I always envisioned a perfect summer show for me to be. A lot of energy, great songs and an amazing sound throughout. The show wasn't a sellout, but the both bands played their sets like they were playing to a sold out larger venue. First up was American Authors. They started out their with the goal of setting the audience rocking and never one in their 6-song set did they let up the pace. They kept the small, but very lively crowd going and enjoying themselves. They played their two most known songs, the songs with singles out currently, "Believer" and "Best Day of My Life" and all their upcoming songs to be on their EP/LP releases later this year were great as well. Unfortunately, I don't know them well enough to give you a set list, I can only tell you I can't wait to hear those songs again. Royal Teeth didn't let up the pace of energy and excitement. How do you not achieve that when confetti is blasted into the crowd right away? I loved their entire set and it's a really solid set list at this point for a Headliner. It builds and comes back down and definitely crescendos into an amazing finale. I loved how well the setlist was mixed with songs from their current EP and their upcoming LP. Royal Teeth has definitely worked out their set list to really incorporate the crowd into it and make them clap, toss around balloons and just easily have an incredible amount of fun at their show. Happily enough, the crowd was very much into it for an encore. Everything I could have wanted from this show, I got that night at Stage AE. For Pittsburgh being a new market, they played the hell out of the show and if you weren't there the first time to see this show, I cannot implore you enough to come around and see this show again when Royal Teeth comes back to Pittsburgh. Especially if you're a fan, you NEED to see them live. It's so amazing and they're all so warm and personable after the show when you meet them by the Merch table. This applies to American Authors, too. Both bands absolutely want to meet you whether you're a new fan or old. So an already great night is capped off with a moment after the show with the bands. All in all, this is not just fan hyperbole, both bands are fantastic if you love anything on AltNation, or just really fun great music. The bands themselves are amazing and great people, the show they put on is top notch and they are absolutely great to meet and talk to after the show. How can you go wrong? You just can't. So wherever you are, if they play near you, GO! You won't regret it and you can thank me later.

ALL I CAN SAY IS "BEAUTIFUL", I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS EVENT.

We take our grandchildren on a tour of DC when they turn 13. This summer we will have our six and seventh trip. We found this tour on our first trip five years ago. It is a wonderful addition to the tour inside the Ford Theater. We love the added adventure it brings and how easy it is to follow. The grandchildren really get into it. It involves the people on the tour and brings in other events of that evening. Very imaginative. Worth it completely.

I went to see Madina Lake, and I was blown away by every artist. Zander Bleck was fun a great opener. Man on Earth had some great songs. Shinobi Ninja was extremely exciting and entertaining. Although I'm biased, I cannot describe how amazing of a performance Madina Lake put on. Nathan pressed on the crowd that we are here in this moment and nothing else matters, let our worries all go away. Madina Lake is passionate about what they do, and they had a great time while making the crowd have a great time too. Me Talk Pretty put on a great show as well, and the lead singer's story of her mother's passing was very touching.

I've been to hundreds of shows and Porcelain Raft is one of the best performers I've ever seen. So underrated.
