A SILENT FILM IN CONCERT:
English rockers A Silent Film are anything but quiet with their exciting, energy-fueled anthems and rip-roaring live shows. The band’s upbeat music is perfectly suited for their electrifying concerts, where they pump fans up with the love story of "Danny, Dakota and the Wishing Well" and chant along with audiences on "Harbour Lights". Their synth-heavy music is bold, uplifting, and sure to have fans dancing all night long on their unforgettable tours.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Hailing from England, A Silent Film started out as the band Shouting Myke but renamed themselves in 2005 after a departure in band members and the addition of two newcomers. The group released The Projectionist EP in 2007, but it wasn’t until the 2008 release of their debut album The City That Sleeps that they really broke out. The album was a critical and commercial success and received praise for its catchy rock sound. They followed up in 2012 with Sand and Snow, which featured the narrative song "Danny, Dakota and the Wishing Well" and a more cinematic approach than their previous record. They've served as the opening act for major rock groups like OneRepublic, the Smashing Pumpkins, and the Temper Trap and have gained a steady cult following along the way. On tour A Silent Film always thrills with lively sets of fan favorites.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"As always, A Silent Film didn't disappoint. They're always a pleasure to see live. A Silent Film makes you fall in love with music all over again! They have an amazing ability to capture the audience and be at home on stage. A+!"
"Amazing show! One of the best shows I've seen in a long time!"
"What a night! Great performance! They are so amazing! Love love them!
A Silent Film has great onstage energy, their music is magical and they are personable and funny. They're very engaged with their fans and really love what they do. You can hear that and feel that in the music. Their sound is dynamic, lyrics are beautiful. I've seen them 4 times now and they are consistently amazing and ever improving.
I went to see A Silent Film, but was pleasantly surprised to see that American Authors were performing also. As was Gold Fields and DeSoto Jones. I got there just in time to see American Authors finish up their set and they sounded great. I was pleasantly surprised by Gold Fields, didn't realize I knew two of their songs. Doesn't hurt they have adorable Aussie accents. A Silent Film - - OUTSTANDING. They seemed to truly love that we all came out to see them and share in the concert experience with them. They did not disappoint.
This was a part of the new music revolution where the radio station is putting on shows for up and coming bands. I missed the first 2 acts, but caught Charlotte natives Matrimony. Everybody needs to check this up and coming band out. They are a fuse of Metric and the modern folk/alt-rock. A Silent Film is also very great. Up and coming! Any fans of Coldplay and Keane, you need to check these guys out. Great show and would see these guys again!
What a fantastic and friendly group to see live! Incredibly fortunate to have seen them in such an intimate setting and to listen to them! I will NEVER miss their shows!!!
Every one of the bands was exceptional for this show. We need to have these monthly in Charlotte. Some of the best music out there right now is from up and coming bands. Let's do this again soon!
Silent Film was okay if you like Cold Play but who was really good and I highly recommend is American Authors. They were outstanding
I had never heard of A Silent Film before this month, as I originally had wanted to see another band that ultimately had to back out due to scheduling conflict, but A Silent Film made me forget they had ever been on the card. They were an excellent act, a bit of Coldplay, The Killers, Snow Patrol and Keane all rolled into one. And they were such a nice group of men as they hung out after the show to meet and greet their fans. I'm so used to bands just hightailing it out and it was so refreshing to just talk to them for a minute or two. I highly recommend this band and highly recommend seeing them as soon as possible.
This was one of the most pleasant surprises I've experienced at concert. I expected the band to be good but they were excellent! They were exciting and energetic and sounded great! They also hung out afterwards until every fan got an autograph and their picture taken -- amazing!
Loved this band. Hadn't heard them live before but the show was even better than expected. The venue was perfect for the amount of people who came out. Carousel opened and I would highly recommend them as well. Anchor and Braille was the middle band before the headliner: A Silent Film came out. Overall great show!
I just received a copy of their latest, Sand and Snow, last week. Listened to it and loved it. Saturday, checked their site to see their tour dates and was so pleased to see that they would be @ The Bowery on 7/30. I was prepared for a good show, based on the recommendation of a friend. I was not disappointed. They seemed to play every song from the new CD, as well as 2-3 from a previous release. "Anastasia" was one I recall. Their final number was "Danny Dakota and the Wishing Well" and they tore it up. Then proceeded to stay on stage for two more, including "Thousand Mile Race" Lead singer Robert Stevenson had some Jaggerish moves and a very high energy level. Also handled the lack of a mike stand for their fourth song very well. They simply launched into another. Ditto for later in the show when the drummer's kit malfunctioned. Stevenson simply sat down at the keyboard and played a tune while the repairs were made.
really fun live performance at one of my favorite venues!
A Silent Film puts on a magnetic live performance. The vocals were pitch perfect and the music was energized and nuanced. A must see.
Unbelievable! Awesome performance. Good sound. These guys deserve to be huge, & hopefully will be, so it's a treat to see them in such a small venue. They came out & chatted with their fans after the show. Great band & nice guys!
I first heard A Silent Film about a year ago, and they have already skyrocketed to my handful of favorite bands. They are truly great guys who write from the heart, and transfer that energy into their performance as well. It's not every day you find bands this young who are able to sound just as good live as they do on the album. They played a handful of songs from their debut album "The City That Sleeps", and quite a few from their upcoming sophomore album, "Sand & Snow". Usually when bands play brand new material it's difficult for the crowd to really get into it since it's so new. But, the new songs sounded so great that the crowd had no problem getting into them. There is really nothing more I can say, other than GO SEE THEM. I was fortunate enough to meet them the night of the show and they are really humble guys with talent that easily measures up with Coldplay, Snow Patrol, and U2. The problem is that no one knows yet. This was not only the cheapest show I've ever been to ($10), but it was among the best-sounding when it comes to small venues. I highly recommend you check these guys out, as it's only a matter of time before they are playing big venues. One last note that I do want to mention. I don't remember the last time I went to a show where the opening band was awesome. This show definitely had a great opener in the band "Empires" based out of Chicago. They have an Indie/Alternative feel, and I wouldn't have forgiven myself if I didn't give them props. If you want a good taste of them, look up their song "Strangers". Unbelievable.
Had a wonderful time! Band was awesome! Even better then last time!
The show was good, though short, sparsely attended, and a little samey. The songs need a little variety.
I don't know what to say. They are without doubt my favorite band. Their Lyrics are Poetic, the musicality of the songs is top notch and they perform live better than anyone i've ever heard They are something of a cross between Coldplay, Muse and James Blunt If you havent listened to there songs check these out and you won'tn be disapointed Youtube these right now You will Leave a Mark 13 times the strength Julie June ( live)
Yes, I just did that comparison, but I totally mean it!! A Silent Film played to a very small crowd in Lancaster, PA and gave us everything they had. The vocals were SPOT on and the keyboard work was phenomenal. I wish more bands would use keyboards. I had such a great time and getting to hang out with them after the show for a bit proved to me just how gracious a group they really are. Fun times!! If they come to your area, don't miss out! ....go see them.
