It Won't Always Be Like This!
by OC.Girl on 2/15/24The Observatory - Santa Ana....as in, you most likely won't be catching Inhaler in venues this small for long! This was my fifth timeseeing them and this was the BEST of the shows I've seen them play. Singer Eli, son of Bono (lead singer of U2) is getting his footing, and securing his status as a great frontman. His is fellow bandmates have also grown and the band has become tighter and more relaxed than the first couple of times I saw them I had a chance to meet them after one of their shows at the legendary Troubadour, and they are great young lads - kind and gracious with their fans young and older. This show at the Observatory, while absolutely fantadtic, was only overshadowed slightly by the throngs of screaming young women and sea of cellphones filming during the entire set. I go to ahows often and this level of continuous cellphone usuage was something I hadn't seen before. Show highlights were Cheer Up Baby, My Honest Face and Valentine - which had everyone singing along. I look forward to seeing them again and watching their meteoric climb to rock stardom. And this band deserves it, on their own merit and talent, not just because the singer is related to Bono. IYKYK. Highly recommend them.
