2015 has been an incredible year for Gang Of Youths; a year that has seen them triumphant over the Australian music scene with their critically acclaimed debut release The Positions. Earning countless glowing reviews from industry heavyweights Rolling Stone, Stereogum and The Guardian, scoring the coveted triple j feature album, and debuting top 5 in the ARIA chart on release, the success of their debut album has catapulted Gang Of Youths to the top of this year’s crop of exciting new Australian artists. The band have also been nominated for Album Of The Year in this year’s prestigious J Awards and have notched up an impressive 5 ARIA Awards nominations, including Breakthrough Artist, Best Rock Album and Best Australian Live Act.
“‘The Positions’ is magic to the ears and undoubtedly will rank as one of the years finest releases - Australian or otherwise.” – THE AU REVIEW (9/10)
“One of the most invigorating and exciting live acts in the country” – ROLLING STONE
“It’s filled with songs which will one day, no doubt, fill stadiums” – MUSIC FEEDS
The venue was great, even the parking attendant was kind! Drugstore Cowboy put on a phenomenal opening act. Gang of Youths was one of my top 10 concert experiences (and I’ve had a lot)! The whole crowd dancing with David Le’aupepe, the emotional range, the technical performance… 💯
This show was incredible! Great venue, great crowd, and of course amazing band. I like the intimacy of Echo Lounge, and the staff were awesome (especially after coming in with torrential rain from the lot).
I’ve listened to this band before but this was my first live experience. I was introduced to them by a friend and we jumped on the chance to see them live, because she said it was unlike anything else. I was skeptical, but man, I tell you it was true! Lead singer David Le’aupepe’s charisma and energy is infectious. His band-mates, Donnie (drums & percussion with a broken hand) Jung (guitar), Max (Bass and married to someone in my hometown) and Tom (Violin and stolen from Mumford and Sons) were all smiling and enjoying themselves, which was extra infectious and really drew me into the show. I’m normally one of those fellas that soaks the vibe in silently and still, but Gang Of Youths had me jumping and dancing with them. Young David shared a few songs with us that were emotional (Brothers, and I think Forbearance) that did hit home. Overall, man, I had a blast and am really hoping to see them again.
The venue was great, ticketing and parking was extremely easy. The band, even better. All I'm going to talk about for the next month
They were so much fun and just seem like the most honest dudes that want to make the crowd feel something. Anything. I loved it.
David Le'aupepe has the voice of Neil Diamond, the stage theatrics of Michael Hutchence and Jim Morrison, and the essence of Eddie Vedder. The group puts on a great show!
Really one of the best rock bands around today. They have so much heart and talent and charisma. I cannot wait to see them again.
Had a great time, both bands were awesome. Gang of youths sounds exactly the same live and really get u involved in the music. Totally enjoyed singing along with the audience. Overall great show!!
Gang of Youths is without a doubt a force and an inspiration in the crowded musical scene. Their sound and honesty is not only unique but refreshing. Dave is magnetic and his presence on stage supports the gravitas of the band. I have been a fan for a while and I am bigger fan after having had the opportunity to see them live.
The venue was fine and i was able to get up to the front row. I was not too fond of the introductory band. The crowd and the musicians looked and felt tired though the lead musician tried to change things up by giving very emotional performances. I loved that they were trying to engage their patrons and creating a scene. It was a great fun time!
