In 2012, a single titled “Trojans” gained online notoriety overnight and quickly edged its way into alternative radio locality in the United States. The source of the successful first effort was a sibling duo from Adelaide, Australia called Atlas Genius. Once fronting as a rock cover band while they built their recording studio, brothers Keith and Michael Jeffery quickly capitalized on their international recognition with their first EP,Through The Glass, in June of that year. Their first full-length album, When It Was Now, debuted on February 19, 2013 via Warner Bros. Records.
I went just to see Skylar Grey. I missed her last show, when she was in town. I thought she was going to play music from her Don't Look Down album. Not one old song. Everything was new music. Usually an artist mixes old and new songs. Her voice is beautiful, but her new music isn't my cup of tea. I was very disappointed.
Atlas Genius always put on the best show! Skylar Grey was also fantastic!
I attended this event purely to see Skylar Grey and she was absolutely amazing! Meeting her after the show was unforgettable! She's so sweet and she puts on a great show!
Atlas Genius may or may not be a huge band, but they are certainly big enough that they should be playing in front of a decent size crowd. Originally they were suppose to play at College Street Music Hall in New Haven CT, but do to lack of ticket sales it was moved to the Outer Space in Hamden. The venue is literally a small bar, with a large room and stage in another room. I don't know the exact number of fans, but if I had to guess it was probably no more then 300 people, which made for a very unique memorable experience. It didn't matter it if 300 or 3,000 people AG, put on a great show the sound system and lights were in perfect rhythm with the music and it had a had a feeling that the music was coming straight from you soul, not only that but the rhythm was flowing and it was next to imposable to not sing along. Which the crowd was doing all night. "Where I belong" was a giant sing along. I should also mention that this was the night that Prince Rodgers died. They played "Centered on you" which kind of sounds like a Prince song and even changed a few lyrics, and sang Prince. The old saying "The show must go on" and for AG it did. Kieth is a great showman and because I was right in the front, he gave me his guitar pick. he would also go to the edge of the stage and lean over, fans were talking pictures with phones and he was moving his hand, to get in the way. After the show, he and the other members of the band were hanging out the bar and were talking and taking photos with fans. I even talked a bit about Australian Rules Football with him, he also said to me "I remember you...you were in front having a good time" and I also said thank you for the pick. Was it the best concert I ever went to? I can't say yes or no, but it was memorable and truly was a special night. I can't wait to see them again.
Atlas Genius sounds good on your iPod, but phenomenal live! The lead vocalist was quite interactive with the audience during all the songs, and the band had this amazing energy. The singer was on pitch the entire time, and the sound was balanced. The venue was intimate, the lighting was great because it was synchronized with the music, the sound system had a rockin' bass that just vibrated your soul, and it was like you could feel the music. This was my very first time attending a live concert and it far surpassed my expecations! The band members met audience members after the show and even liked my video of them on Instagram-very caring of their fans. It's been almost a week and I still can't stop thinking about it.
Wow after two lackluster warm up bands AG rocked the house!! Did majority of both their current US releases. They were great... so much energy! Suprised they aren't more popular here is US. Only about125 persons in the crowd. Made for very intimate evening
what more can I say the show was awesome and the guys were super friendly and greeted all the fans at the end of the show with a handshake and an autograph....awesome time......
Atlas Genius was exactly what I expected from a world traveled band...I would so see them again. The last review I posted on T.M. was not so enthusiastic of a certain opening band *cough* Antler *cough*, but this time I can't say enough good things about Mainland, one of the two opening bands that night. Their sound was fresh, yet seasoned. Mainland blow me away. All in all very good show.
Port City Music Hall is a wonderful music space. As to Atlas Genius, they were a lot of fun and put on a fantastic show. My sister came with me and, despite never having heard the band, she was dancing up a storm. Thanks for the good night out Port City and Atlas Genius!
Atlas Genius has only gotten better with album two. The show was a great mix of songs from their debut album When It Was Now and their recently released album Inanimate Objects. The crowd was really into them and the set list was high energy with a few moments of Keith Jeffery's hypnotic vocals in between. Will absolutely see them again!!
Atlas Genius lacked energy and appeared like they did not even want to be there. Their show was flat and not entertaining. The music seemed mechanical, and without heart. I was expecting so much more. Bright spot was the warm up Band, All My Vices was a great surprise. They were entertaining and good musicians. They were nervious, but I heard it was their first time at the Pagent.
Seen these guys as an opening band the first time and was really impressed. Now their headlining show was amazing!! Every song is great and really looking forward to see what they've got with album two!
It was my first time at the Fillmore, and it was pretty awesome. It has so much history and you can see right away with all of the posters of bands that have played there. We got there early and got seats on the upper deck. There aren't many, so get there early unless you want to stand, which I usually prefer to do. But the view from the upper deck made it feel like we were front row and the acoustics were great too. Overall, Atlas Genius put on a great show!
I saw Atlas Genius at Live 105s BFD 2013 this summer. I liked what I heard so wanted to check them out when they headlined The Fillmore. Lead singer Keith Jeffery’s microphone was set up stage left rather than center stage, but he worked the stage and didn’t ignore those of us stage right. This set up allowed drummer Michael Jeffery to be seen instead of being blocked from view, which often happens to drummers. This Australian band put on a great show. The crowd was clapping, jumping up and down and dancing to all of their catchy tunes. Keith Jeffery jumped into the area reserved for photographers and stood on the steps of the railing to get closer to the audience. Instead of jumping back up on stage, he walked into the crowd that was stage right to go back through the curtain that covers bands from being seen as they wait in the wings to go on stage. When Keith asked for the lights to be turned on so he could see the audience he specially said that he wanted to see the chandeliers. I love when bands come to The Fillmore and comment on how amazing this venue is and shows respect for its history. My only complaint is that he called us ‘Frisco’. Frisco is a town in Texas it is not an acceptable abbreviation for San Francisco. For the record, neither is San Fran. Atlas Genius closed out the show with their first US hit “Trojans”. At the end of the show Keith once again jumped down into the photographer area and walked to the curtain after hugging a fan that was literally two people away from me. Family of the Year from Los Angeles was the second opener. They were a bit more on the mellow side in comparison to both Atlas Genius and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. They seemed a bit crowded on the stage. There were several times I thought the bassist Brent Freaney, oddly not listed on their official website, was going to bump into keyboardist Christina Schroeter. Drummer Sebastian Keefe came out from behind the drum kit to play the tambourine and sing “Buried” at the front of the stage. While I liked other songs, this was the stand out song for me. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. from Detroit was the first opener of the night. I had seen them once before at The Regency Ballroom in 2012 when they opened up for Fitz and The Tantrums. I remember them vividly because the jackets they were wearing glowed with black lights. I had liked their set then, but really enjoyed them this time. They were very high energy, interactive with the crowd and played music that made you want to clap and dance. My favorite song of their set was “If You Didn’t See Me (Then You Weren’t On The Dancefloor)”.
The whole concert was fabulous. Even the opening band!
We had a blast. Opening act was pretty good too...Family of The Year. Love Heroes!
Incredible experience, not only did the band sound fantastic, they had the crowd engaged, they were so gracious and it turned into just an awesome time. The crowd was into it, well behaved and it made it so enjoyable for everyone. Loved how they met people after the show as well. So much fun, thanks Atlas Genius, you really brought it!
Great Music, Great Sound, Great Venue, Great Drinks, Reasonable Pricing.
Family of the Year had a great performance. They are for sure an up and coming band. Very talented. Atlas Genius were fantastic also. Two great shows for the price of one.
Great show from these guys. They killed the set with what they know how to do best and that's rocking out!! I would certainly go and check them out again if they come into town again. Hopefully though, the next time they come around, it's at the same venue or somewhere a bit bigger cause they deserve it. Plus they waited till the Broncos game was fully over before going on.
