Houndmouth

They sounded even better live than on the album! Plus the addition of sax and second guitar was a nice touch.

Small intimate setting. Not a bad spot in the place. On the floor, or at the bar. Great atmosphere.

I'm always looking for venues outside of NYC or Philly. Any clubs in the VILLAGE are a problem with traffic but if the club is in the Williamsburg section of BROOKLYN then it's a double dose of mind numbing traffic. So- getting to the BROOKLYN BOWL for this show was a nightmare. But even if you live in the city and take the subway or cab the club is still mediocre. Navy seals training is required to get to the bar for a beer at this sold out event. Once there I found out that they have no bottled water for my date- whaaaaaaaat! No bottled water in 2014! The sound was ok- nothing great! Caught the last song from the openers THE DISTRICTS. As usual I did my homework in preparation for the show and I was looking forward to seeing this young band barely out of High School. ROB GROTE leads this band that is on my TOP 30 NEW BANDS FOR 2014 But- I was there for HOUNDMOUTH and they were excellent playing songs off of their great debut album FROM THE HILLS BELOW THE CITY. The band is co- fronted by the super cute KATIE TOUPIN and guitar wizard MATT MYERS. KATIE has learned to work her sexiness in a classy cutesy way which adds to the bands stage presence. But she is also a great singer bringing great harmony and some excellent lead vocals to the table. also- I was big time impressed with the guitar work of MATT MYERS- the dude could play! These two produce great vocal harmonies as well. HOUNDMOUTH came in 17th on my TOP 30 NEW BANDS OF 2013.

Best concert aboard the belle I've ever seen. Probably best of forecastle weekend

Fresh from their performance on the Letterman Show, Houndmouth was everything we hoped and expected. The foursome delivered their original music for the hometown crowd with much enthusiasm and professionalism. The Belle of Louisville offered an historical, intimate venue floating in the Ohio. There in lies the rub... the "stage" was on the same level as the standing crowd. If one was not pushy and rude there was no way to see the band. It was a frustration that detracted from the concert. Houndmouth's show and music were great! The Belle is iconic. I just wish we could have seen the band.

The belle of Louisville never left the dock! Very disappointed and I drove all the way from Texas to experience a late night show!

Incredible. The Belle of Louisville is one of the most beautiful venues I've ever seen, and Houndmouth were brilliant. A grass roots folk band that screams Louisville, KY.

Houndmouth is unbelievably amazing! I just discovered who they were in March and this was my fourth time seeing them. They played Forecastle on Friday, but spending extra on the special after party on Saturday was more than worth it!!!

Houndmouth is by far one of the best bands of its genre I've seen live in NYC. Their playful energy, down-home melodies, and rough-and-tumble lyrics are perfectly blended into a recipe of pure, good musical entrainment! (Not to mention that each band member has his/her very own sex appeal.) Can't wait for their first full-length album in June!

Absolutely terrific. I see maybe 6 concerts or so a year...and this was one of the best I've seen in a while. Reasonable beer prices too!

AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE EVENT! Both houndmouth and Liz Cooper and the stampede were both even better in person!

This was my 3rd Houndmouth show and the best one yet!

Such a fun band! Sound was great and definitely will see them again. Made me love the band more!

I love this band's recorded music and was really looking forward to seeing them live in a small intimate setting like Teragram Ballroom. Unfortunately, they were just OK. Not bad, not great. Also, where's the girl. Her sultry voice and good looks rounded off the sound and appearance of Houndmouth in youtube videos. But she was nowhere to be found on Monday and I was disappointed. Songs like Hey Rose, Sedona and Cousin Greg are some of my favorites in the past 3-5 years. I was hoping to hear others such as Casino, but again didn't happen because...the girl was AWOL. Please bring her back so the focal point isn't three scrawny mid-western dudes shaking their tight white jeans.

Awesome show, full of energy and sounded great. I enjoyed the show a lot.

One of my favorite bands, but apparantly they have decided to become someone else. All the players played and sung well.But the new music is unrecognizable as being from Houndmouth. They seemed to produce a "wall of sound" on their new stuff and there was no articulation among the various instruments. A poor sound mix heavy on bottom end contributed to the disappointment. The trademark sound of Houndmouth was not there at all. Even on the old stuff it seemed they were more interested in being rockers instead of being Houndmouth. The loss of Katie also hurt them both in the absence of her lead vocals and the loss of her harmonizing. The saxes were good and were enjoyable. The Tetragram Ballroom acoustics were good, but I would like to be able to sit down as well as stand. The stage was high enough so that I was able to see everyone on stage even with no slope up towards the rear of the audience area.. They must have had a red eye flight out after the show because I thought they owed their loyal followers a far longer set, or at least a decent encore. I will not just go out and buy the new CD as I expected to do, I will check it out on Amazon Music first. But I am afraid they have lost me. I will just have to be happy with the previous stuff.

The band was amazing! Sounds exactly like the recordings. The Pagaent is such a great venue for a concert. One of my favorites in St. Louis!

This is the second time I have seen Houndmouth in concert. Every time gets better than the next. This is one of my all time favorite bands. I can't wait until the next time I see them!!!

I've been a Houndmouth fan for a while, gotten to know their music and personality well. I have no problem saying it was a fantastic show, and the venue was perfect. Truth is that deep down I want to give it 5 stars, but there were a couple of surprises I feel could have been managed better. While it wasn't exactly a secret, one of the original band member's sudden departure was not effectively publicized (see picture above, which includes all four founding memebers), and I feel the fans had more of a right to be informed and expect that the one female voice in a band known for its harmony would be replaced with either/or male voice(s), a keyboard and dual saxophones. Again, the music was fantastic, as were the performances, especially when they had to run the play after calling an audible at the line, so to speak. Knowing any of this prior to the show would not have changed how many tickets I purchased. I just would have appreciated knowing that I wasn't going to see Houndmouth as they were -- four great, young musicians with "I'll never sell out" chips on their shoulders. Instead we heard great music and saw a really, really good, full band and a pretty decent size production, from costume to lights to a bit of choreography.

This was by far one of the best shows I've ever been to. Houndmouth is one of those rare bands who sound better live. Every one in the band sings and they all have great and distinct voices. They also know how to play eachother's instruments, each rotating/switching between songs effortlessly. I've never seen that before. The opening band was also pretty great, Duncan Fellows from Austin. Both bands made suprise appearances for a song making it feel like a communal experience. You know everyone on stage were having a great time. Everyone on that stage is talented. It's a shame music like this is rarely heard on the radio. Yet I'd like to thank 105.3 The Shark for Sedona. I would not have found this band. You feel their heart and passion in the music. Comfort food for the ears and soul.

Second time we've seen them here at the Bijou! Great venue. They did not disappoint. So much energy coming from that stage.

Love their music and the shows are even better! Can't wait until next year!!!

A++++ Every instrument on stage is played with immense passion and talent. A never miss live. I traveled hundreds of miles to see them, worth every one!

This concert was awesome! The bijou is a nice place, not a bad seat in the entire theatre. The band was great too! All of them were extremely talented and fun to watch.

Great band to see live! Great energy, amazing vocals and incredible musicians. The Bijou is a great venue to catch a show.

This is my 3rd time seeing Houndmouth in concert. I love this band. Its hard to fit into one category of music, but no matter your preference .... you will enjoy their music.

Excellent show. Great sound quality - could hear every vocal clearly. Real cool that the band members seemed to really like each other, also immensely appreciative of the packed, enthusiastic crowd. Speaking of the crowd, it appeared to me that the venue was definitely oversold. I've been to a crapload of shows and this was the most crowded that I can remember - you could barely lift your beer to your mouth it was so shoulder to shoulder, much less try to get to the restroom. Also it took forever to get a drink - Madison: bring in some independent contractor bartenders for shows that you oversell!

Houndmouth was amazing, but Ticketmaster and Madison way oversold. Way overcrowded. I'm 6'1'' and average build and had a tough time seeing the stage. The event was way oversold, and it was oversold at the expense of the safety of the concert goers.

Houndmouth continues to be one of the best bands of the year out there. The Madison Theatre however is one I will reconsider when going to see an act there again. Oversold, overcrowded, and understaffed at the bar. The upstairs is especially awkward with table seating that prevents more accommodation for the folks attending. Plus security in the balcony instilled a "Footloose" like police of no dancing even when the seated folks started moving around in their seats..very strange.

My first time to Madison Theater and first time to see Houndmouth and both the venue and band were great. Loved the energy.

Awesome show. Album is great, but seeing it live took it to another level! Go search them out- you won't regret it!

So much energy and movement, it was a great show to be a part of and witness the atmosphere of this band. I definitely will be seeing them again, hopefully in a venue such as this which is perfect for this type of concert.

Didn't get to see the entire concert, because my daughter fainted! What we did see/hear was fantastic, though! And the band and the audience were very kind to my sweet little girl!

Hound mouth put on a fantastic show. I look forward to the next time they come into town !!!

They put on a great show! Every song was amazing. I loved them and would see them again.

Well rehearsed, very tight indy sound They sound better live than recorded Fun, upbeat musics with witty lyrics that you can actually understand in a live setting. Suitable for all audiences ! I went with my 17yr old son and we both thoroughly enjoyed it Try to see them in an intimate setting (like I did at Stone Pony) -it was like having a really fun group of friends come play music in your living room.

This band is going to make it big with their sound performance and individual talent! what a show they put on!

Had a great time watching Houndsmouth perform in Woodstock, NY. It was our 41st Anniversary and we traveled all the way to Woodstock from L.A., California to celebrate. The Band was great as each one of the members has their own talent and shares the stage with one another doing their own solo! Oh what a night!

awesome band. amazing show. great venue. catch them

We were traveling to Woodstock for the week and couldn't have asked for a better band! Harmonies were great, energy was there and memorable tunes! The bearsville theater was so cool, intimate and right along a creek! Also the commune saloon outside for a refreshment before the show was perfect! Thanks for making our vacation even more memorable!

band was excellent interacted with the crowd well know they will be mega stars in the very near future opening act was twin limb and were also enjoyable glad that in was able to see them at bearsville theater were everyone is close to the band

First, I was surprised that Houndmouth, at the peak of their career, performed at a relatively small venue in Portland, ME. Next. the ticket price was, to say the least, a terrific value. Houndmouth themselves was equally impressed at the fan reception on a Monday night, in a very small market. The performance was spot on. The sound was clear, especially for the vocals. And one thing that Houndmouth is famous for is their amazing harmonizing. This group has heavy influences from groups such as The Band, Grateful Dead and Little Feat. Yea, that good. This is a must-see show. They will be performing in large venues for much higher prices soon. I purchased their newest CD, and can't stop playing it. But the live performance had a high energy level which can't be matched in a studio. Hint: How about a concert DVD?

I had never been to Port City or seen Houndmouth. Houndmouth is full of energy and inclusive of their crowd. Port City is beautiful. I will be seeing more shows there in the future.

Probably the best show I've seen live. Seen them at bonnaroo earlier in the year and it was just as good if not better. Easily one of my favorite bands

Houndmouth is an amazing live band. They bring the joy and excitement of a local band playing in a bar with their friends while also being four of the most talented young musicians working today. The setlist was amazing, the crowd interaction could only be rivaled by Deer Tick, and the opening act (Twin Limb) was a fantastic surprise. If you blink, you could easily miss the small word "Royale" on the green awning outside of the venue, but when you walk in, you ascend a decadent staircase that gives the impression of a large victorian theater. The performance space is reminiscent of the House of Blues on a smaller scale. There a multiple bars and places to sit. Don't miss Houndmouth and don't miss a show at Royale if you like the performer.

One of the best shows I've been to. I love these guys and they keep getting better with time. 10/10, would see again.

I had been wanting to see Houndmouth for a couple of years now and was not disappointed! After taking the stage in caps and gowns in honor of Ohio State's graduation going on across the street, they started a set that was high energy and electric! Seeing the show allowed the talent of all members to be showcased as everyone took a turn singing lead and playing other instruments. Excellent show!

They looked like they were having so much fun. Every song was better live than I expected.

Great voices - everybody sings, great musicians, great songs, great showmen (and woman). What can you say? They blew the place away. Two of my party were not familiar with them at all and came away thrilled.

AMAZING. Best concert I've been to in a long time. Houndmouth has so much energy and the crowd was unreal.

Awesome! So freaking good. And Parker Millsap, the opener, rocked too.

I'm a fan of the band but was so happy with how great of a show they put on! They were having such a good time on stage and that reflected in their performance and the crowd enthusiasm. I will see them ever chance I get!

Second time I've seen Houndmouth and they are amazing! The venue was PERFECT!

What a show!!! Their albums are awesome,and they are even better live! Bijou is a great venue for a show as well(remember to bring cash if you want a cocktail)! A night we'll never forget!!

We were celebrating my husband's birthday in Knoxville and he is a huge live music lover. Checked out the theaters in town and watched Houndmouth video. Sounded good on video but live performance was a great surprise. Good sound, great vocal harmonizing and a fun atmosphere. Will definitely keep an eye out for a stop near our hometown Chicago. Look forward to an outdoor venue. They would be so amazing!!!!

This band has a great stage presence and is very entertaining. They have an appreciation for not playing too loud. Solid vocals and vocal harmony. Good lead guitar and solid rhythm section. Clever lyrics and not too dark. OK for old people (I'm 60).

Was an excellent concert. Was evident by the crowd.

These guys seriously kicked butt. 4th time I've seen then and they get better every time. They brought their "A" game and delivered .. Was at Friday show too.

Their live show makes the album worse to listen to. They were that good live.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than coldplay

Such a unique, awesome ensemble, clearly on their way up! Also, the warmup group, Wheeler Brothers, were fantastic as well. We didn't stick around for Houndmouth - it got too late.

I went to this show as a last minute decision, driving from CT to see my new favorite band, The Ballroom Thieves. I had never been to this venue, but liked it. The room was open and I was able to enjoy the show even from the back by the bar. I was sad I couldn't go upstairs but the bottom floor was not full enough with attendees to really warrant that level to be open. We arrived late and did not see the opening band perform. Standing only two-three rows back from the stage during The Ballroom Thieves, I had a great time. As always, the Thieves were fun to watch and got me dancing. They played a couple new songs that I can't wait to be released. I stayed for most of Houndmouth. I thought the keys player had a unique voice and I wished they used her a bit more. Good set - enjoyable americana type music.

i only heard of houndmouth a week before this show and it's all i listened to for that week leading up to it. they are even better live and the show was one of my favorite of the year!

I first heard about Houndmouth when they were opening for White Denim at Brooklyn Bowl in the summer of 2013. They were one of the best opening bands I'd seen since...well, since I discovered White Denim opening for Wilco in February the year prior. (The lesson here is that if you love a band, you're likely to love the band they selected to tour with them, too. Don't go late and take the opportunity to discover new music!) I caught the first of two sold out shows at Mercury Lounge with the Wheeler Brothers opening for them. The place was packed and energy was high...this was obviously a concert for people who knew the band well and were ready for an evening of good music. Houndmouth didn't disappoint and it was evident from the moment they took the stage that they were happy to be there. The band has amazing chemistry and you can easily sense the genuineness of their friendship and mutual respect of musicianship onstage. They covered all the hits on From the Hills Below the City and threw in some new tunes, which was the only time the audience wasn't singing along. I love the versatility in this band and that there isn't just one lead singer - they pass the lead off throughout the set, which is appreciated because they all have drastically different yet equally impressive sounds. Long story short, try not to miss a Houndmouth show. Ever.

Went for Houndmouth (who did not disappoint) but also loved The Wheeler Brothers.

Great live show and set in an intimate venue, looking forward to seeing the band again soon.

Very talented band that sounded great. Each of the 4 members took turns with lead vocals, bass, keyboard and even drums. Mercury lounge is a great venue as well.

3 bands for $15, how can you go wrong! Houndmouth was great. The wheeled brothers lead things off with a great set. They were the surprise of the night. Nice venue. Convenient parking at garage accross the street

Houndmouth is a great new band, and I would strongly recommend them to anyone!
