Phantogram

PHANTOGRAM IN CONCERT:Electronic duo Phantogram combine elements of trip hop and shoegaze to create a spellbinding sonic backdrop for singer Sarah Barthel's lush vocals. At their live shows, an intricately choreographed light show entrances fans while arpeggiated guitars and sampled sounds create layers of atmosphere from which their songs emerge. The band wowed fans with their electric stage presence on their 2013 tour, and following the 2014 release of their highly anticipated sophomore album Voices, Phantogram are set for another round of kaleidoscopic performances.BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:Childhood friends Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel formed Phantogram in Greenwich, New York, in 2007, making their debut in 2009 with a self-titled EP.

My girlfriend won t stop talking about your boots. Music was great too. Josh, way to rock it. Can you ask Sarah where she got those boots? Awesome show. Tycho (Scott Hansen) made me wish I brought my friend Molly and a bunch of soft blankets to cuddle. Overall, amazing show, and boots.

Tycho was hypnotic! Moody and melodic! They will soon, if not already score feature films. David Lynch, here is your band! If No doubt and Suzi and the Banshee' had a baby, it would be Phantogram. I am so glad I got to see them in an intimate setting.

The dynamic Upstate duo meandered through their repertoire with perfect punctuations along the way . Barthel and Carter owned it from start to finish. I'm looking forward to seeing them again and following their music into the future.

The first band, Junk Culture, was I thought at first pretty good but after the first song, I definitely wanted Phantogram to come on. They were so awesome. The venue was kind of small, and totally not what I had expected but it ended up being better than I had thought. I liked that it was smaller and the stage was not high because then you could really feel like you're close enough to the band to enjoy the music. Definitely a good time, and I totally recommend either seeing them or going to Mercury Lounge, OR BOTH! :)

There were issues with the sound system, couldn't hear Sara nor Josh well on most songs. Many technical issues throughout the 16 song set.

Even better than the show in October! The show was stripped down in a non-traditional way. Meaning the light show from the fall tour is gone. The music and sound were incredible.

Was on the fence for weeks about going or not, but definitely glad I did. Phantogram are a great band and the show was awesome and fun. Plus they donated 100% of their gate sales to a suicide prevention charity which makes my choice to see them even more worth while. Even if you only like a few of their hits like I did, you should totally see them. I'm a fan of all their work now (Big Grams too).

Sarah was in a happy place that night and it showed in her performance. Never saw a smile out of Josh but the rest of the band was having fun. They were really on it. Perfect performance in a setting that really suits Phantogram's lighting and stage presence. This performance blew away their Murat Theatre show (where they weren't even the headliner). Yep, my memory of this show is so good that I won't be tainting it with the upcoming outdoor Forecastle Festival A+++

I went to OBC to see the Orwells, and they were everything I wanted them to be. just completely amazing and so much fun, being at the front made it pretty damn cool too. the only complaint I have about this show is the other fans not wanting to have some fun by dancing and moshing etc., they were all just giving dirty looks. aside from that it was an unforgettable show, Bad things were great too, and Cherub. not a huge fan of Capital cities' music but I must say they are VERY good performers. they got the party started at the end of the night. for the price, this show was definitely a steal.

Phantogram has been one of my favorite bands since they released their debut album in 2009. They simply kill it live. Their lead vocalist, Sarah Barthel, manages to having amazing pipes night after night. I don't know how she does it. Especially since they've been touring pretty much non-stop since 2012. See this band at a small venue NOW before they blow up and you have to sit in the nose bleeds at some arena!

I had tix to their Oakland show but had to work that night, my friends who used my tix said the show was "FA!" Jealous, I discovered they were playing Cinci while I was there for work! A small and wonderful venue the 20th Century is, and in a hip neighborhood. Grabbed some pizza and beer before the show and half of Phantogram ate a couple tables away! I did my best to leave them alone and just exchanged a couple knowing winks. The opening band "Teen" was pretty good and for sure rocked. A great warm-up. The crowd was excellent too, I really loved the young and artsy Cinci crowd. OMG, then Phantogram came on. Obviously they are incredible, but how seriously Josh took it, how on it and fun the drummer was and the ?rythym? guitar player was precise and helped nail the complex "wall of sound" that they are famous for. I am totally impressed and will try to see them again and again. Sarah's performance of course leaves me speechless...

Live music is best, and Phantogram live is an experience that proves this. And with the new material they've added to their catalog this year, they are playing solid hour+ sets of killer song after killer song, old and new. They left me, at once, both satisfied and wanting me.

So im a new concert goer and I was nervous about how well they would fare live, due to variations that they do in songs when I listen to their CD's. But mann was I nervous for nothing! When they came on the audience roared, like a dog drooling over its favorite treat and boy was it a treat that we received when they started playing. They pumped up the audience so good! I love the effects of the strobe lights in their opening act while they performed Blackout days. I will never forget it, ever!!! There wasn't a flaw in their performance. They even treated us to 2 new songs that are on their new album "Voices" that is coming out in 2014. They are so humble and passionate about her songs. I left the concert with a huge smile on my face. I just wish that I had bought enough money along with me that night to buy some merchandise. :(

I first saw Phantogram at Bonnaroo and said I would make my friends go with me if they played around us. Needless to say, my friends were blown away! I bought merch (which I didn't intend on). Both of the openers were great too! First time at that venue and it was also great! I'll be back there again.

Phantogram rocked it. They packed the house and had awesome energy levels! I only got there 20 min before they went on and managed to get a great spot near the bar. Their sound is really their own and the vocals from both of artists were impressive. Overall it was a great show, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'll be waiting to see them again with friends.

We spent some time up on the balcony and downstairs by stage L. We've been told some people were reserved about T5's sound but from our experience, the sound was equally great at both spots! Phantogram was magnetic. Everything they did was seamless and the mood was consistent. I especially enjoyed the encore songs! The whole audience was one. We feel like we were in the future.

Tycho is my favorite group and that is why I plunked down the $$$ to see the show. The crowd was awful- bunch of scroungy drunks, potheads and loud mouth snotty milleniels. I would NOT see Phantogram again either. Despite having an incredibly sexy singer- they kind of stink- not very good songwriters. The venue was not cool either with long lines to the bathrooms and alcohol. Never again. I thought the crowd would be a sophisticated Tycho crowd like me and my girlfriend but I was dead wrong.

Phantagram just killed it. I thought they came out strong and finished even stonger. Prior to this show I knew of Phantagram but would not say I was a die hard. Post this show I m looking forward to following them and seeing many more of there live performances. Villa Hispana the venu is really nice too. Intimate but not crowded. It was such a nice night I was so happy to be outdoors. Im glad they have started having more shows there.

Phantogram always puts on a great show with a variety of their songs from new to old. The lights are energetic and so is the band. Unfortunately you have to sit through a 45 minute techno dj set and Tychos 11 songs which seemed like one drawn out one. If you can wait three hours to show up unless your in GA then just wait and play games on your phone.

Such an excellent, fun show! I knew of Tycho but had not listened to much of his music, and I was blown away! Since most of the songs are purely instrumental/synthesizer, the visual effects are fantastic and really keep your attention. Phantogram,as expected, was completely amazing and their vocals/instruments were just as good live as they are on the album!

Tycho was amazing. Intro artist was very boring and didn't think it matched the other artists at all. Phantogram took nearly an hour to setup and they seemed really unprepared to play and amateurish. Still happy that Tycho was as good as they were, but the rest of the event was a dud.

Some of the audio quality was a little rough. Like, if I didn't know all the songs by heart then I wouldn't have recognized a few of them. Other than that, it was a great show. Cool special effects with the screen/lights and Sarah is a total babe. Big Boi showed up which was great. We had a lot of fun. Drinks at Buckhead were ridiculously overpriced but most people were too messed up to care. Slightly older crowd mostly, so it was more chill than most concerts I've been too and kind of a nice change of pace. Also, felt like the opening act didn't really fit with the style of this particular show.

Right away the band put up a see through screen between themselves and the audience, which they then flashed images onto. This was definitely creative and had that visual element, which I know is Phantogram's thing. However, they left the screen up for the first 2-3 songs. I instantly felt disconnected from the band and I think this caused the overall energy of the audience and concert go down. I was also disappointed by their lack of energy. They did not make many attempts to connect to the audience. They used more embellishment than I anticipated, which seems to be more their thing now, but I do not think this is necessary. I think this causes further disconnect from the band and the music and I just want to hear good music from a band I love. However, I'm sure other people loved this. Overall, I love this band and am so glad I go to see them live. I do not regret it even though their current style is different than I anticipated. They played a GREAT mix between their new and older music and it sounded amazing!!!

I saw Phantogram years ago at a music festival and in the last few years their show has only continued to get better and better. They have now incorporated amazing visuals to their routine. If you are familiar with their music videos you will feel as if you were in one of them. They play all their hits. They are an all around great band.

Surprisingly disappointed in the show. -- The sound at the Fillmore was poor quality (poorly mixed, sound was overly distorted, lead singer's vocals were often washed out) -- There were multiple occasions where the vocal went flat (hopefully because of the problem I noted above) I've seen Phantogram live before, so I'm gonna lean toward this being a problem with the venue.

Out of the 12+ songs they played, my friends and I agreed that about 4 or 5 of them were really stupendously good. The other songs either had a great start and then meandered into dead ends of repetition, or lost their way early on and relied on uninspired hooks and drumming bombast to push thru simplistic melodies. Still, I'd see them again, if only for those 4 or 5 songs.

One of my favorite bands. Seen them 2 times prior to this show. I don't know if I it the audio engineers fault, not a big enough pa, or whatever the case. It sounded like I was listening to them at half volume in my car when someone's trying to tell you a story but you just wanna her the music louder. I was extremely disappointed that I paid 50 bucks to go see such a terrible show. The lighting was cool as always but it just wasn't the same when you couldn't hear the music. Get your act together phantogram.
