Active Child

Picture a house constructed of glass, tucked away on a hillside, up a steep windingdriveway. It’s only several miles from downtown LA, but far removed from the smogand celebrity. From this mountain repose, you can see the freeway buzzing in thedistance. You’re aware of the sounds of the city clucking.

Wow! What a performance this guy puts on at his show. Vocals so pure and the guy plays the harp, which is pretty awesome in my book. So much energy and a great show that I would recommend to any and all of my friends. You will not be disappointed by this performance.

I've been waiting to see Active Child for a while, not only because I've never seen someone play the harp live, but because their previous albums and the newest EP was incredible. Pat just knows how to get you into the right mood and his vocal range along with his harp was unforgettable. I would love to see them again!!

I was looking forward to seeing Active Child for the first time. The sound was extremely bassy to the point where many people had to move from the front of the room to the back. Active Child is not about pounding bass so it was an uncomfortable distraction from their music.

I've seen Active Child play a few times in different locations. In this show they were trying to make their sound too big. It destroyed the integrity of the vocals and the intricacies of their layering.

Close your eyes and sway. Active Child's music is unlike any other. Literally. He plays the harp.

Excellent show. The energy of Active Child's live performance really makes the music on their albums come to life. Beautiful set and lighting...I hope to see them in concert again in the future. Their opener, Superhumanoids, was also excellent. They could have double-headlined. While the other performer, Balam Acab, plays beautiful music - the live translation was a real buzzkill. He should have been the opener, not the 2nd (middle) act.
