CATFISH AND THE BOTTLEMEN IN CONCERT:
U.K. indie rockers Catfish and the Bottlemen are on the rise thanks to their blend of passionate songwriting, memorable melodies, and sonic exploration. In concert lead singer and guitarist Van McCann bares his soul with his yearning vocals on instant classics like “Homesick”, “Cocoon”, and “Kathleen”. The rest of the band stirs up a post-punk-inspired sonic cocktail, using echoing guitar feedback, driving bass melodies, and pulsating drum beats to give each song a vibrant undercurrent. Ticket buyers can’t help but join in on the energetic alternative anthems that Catfish and the Bottlemen bring to the stage whenever they go on tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Van McCann was born in Cheshire, England in 1992, though he was raised in Llandudno, Wales. He formed Catfish and the Bottlemen in 2007 with high school friends Billy Bibby (guitar) and Benji Blakeway (bass), and began performing in parking lots after shows by bands like Kasabian. After adding drummer Bob Hall, the group generated considerable buzz in 2013 with the independent release of the singles “Homesick”, “Rango”, and “Pacifier”. They spent the following year turning in impressive performances at festivals like Reading & Leeds, T in the Park, and Governors Ball. The rigorous touring ultimately paid off when their 2014 debut full-length The Balcony peaked at No. 10 on the UK albums chart before being certified Gold later that year. With fans already buzzing about their follow-up album, Catfish and the Bottlemen continue to give impassioned performances to audiences around the world as they build on their sterling reputation.
Their concerts are the most fun, energetic, and the best live performance I’ve been to. Can’t wait to see them again.
Listen, if CATB announces a show in your area you need to clear your calendar, buy your ticket and mentally prepare yourself for what will without a doubt be one of the top three best concerts of your life regardless of how you have been living your life up until that night. It's been four days and I have thought about how nonstop amazing the entire show was, listened to all three albums reminiscing on the live performance and my neck is still recovering from my overly aggressive (yet necessary) headbanging to the solo in Soundcheck. Don't miss on an opportunity to see them and don't overthink going. Just get your ticket and change your life for the better.
This show was amazing. Catfish and the Bottlemen always put on an amazing show, this was the 4th time I’ve seen them. Also, The Tabernacle is a beautiful venue.
Both the opening band (July Talk) and Catfish and the bottlemen were amazing!! The soundcheck on July talk was flawless!! Everything sounded great, lighting and effects were amazing, but I have two complaints: it was Hot in there, like seriously hot, nothing that a few AC couldn’t fix, and the soundcheck for Catfish and the Bottlemen was kinda wonky. The drums were exaggeratedly loud, especially the kick drum, the lead guitar seemed a little too quiet. My phone was able to pick that up, but my ears were about to bleed! Overall, the show was good enough to kinda overlook those details, but still, soundcheck and AC guys, gotta keep an eye on that.
This show was amazing. Catfish and the Bottlemen sounded great, and it was awesome to see them in the Ryman.
First, the opener July Talk was SOOOO good!! Secondly, Catfish def didn’t disappoint! Lovely concert!!! <333
These guys are great! Super talented and energetic on stage. The opener was kinda weird, but other people seemed to like them.
This was my first time seeing a concert at the Ryman Auditorium. We’ve had the pleasure of seeing Catfish and the Bottlemen several times. No other venue even came close to the sound and magic we felt seeing our favorite band perform in such an amazing place with such rich history. Awesome evening!
When the doors where supposed open at 7 due to rain with out warning they opened 35 mins early and had people stuffed in front of the stairs for 25 mins just to allow them to trample each other at 7 as they ran towards the stage
Band sounds great live. Had an amazing time. Highly recommend
Great concert - Catfish and the Bottlemen never disappoint! The Aragon Ballroom was also an excellent venue for the concert - short beer lines, clean restrooms!
Catfish and the Bottlemen were excellent. However, many of us concertgoers were trampled as we were going up the stairs to the ballroom. Due to the rain we were allowed to enter the facility about 40 minutes before the scheduled "doors open" time. Upon entering the building we were allowed to congregate close to the staircase. As the crowd near the staircase grew, it was evident that there would be an issue with so many people entering the staircase at the same time. When the security guards announced that we could head upstairs, the trampling began. It was very scary. Someone was actually knocked down. It needs to be handled better for people's safety. Also, the sound in the ballroom does need to be toned down, especially the bass. Very often throughout the show the sound was distorted.
love seeing these guys every time.. seeing them at least 3 more times this year can’t wait
Catfish and the Bottleman was an amazing show at Aragon Ballroom in Chicago - highly recommend checking this band out!
They rocked it. Van and the boys can do no wrong. Super class. Live music, what the kids want.
The venue could not figure out how to get the sound quality to be where it needed. There was pauses between most songs so they could adjust the levels. It took more than half of the concert for them to make it sound decent and that was the best they could do. For someone that doesn’t know all of the songs, one could not hear or understand 90% of the words and the bass was incredibly tuned to high.
Catfish and the Bottlemen is a live band- THE live band, if you will. Listening to their songs through headphones or a radio is great, but their sound and stage presence is unreal. I've had the pleasure of seeing them live five times, and I'm ready for a sixth! If you're looking for an honest guitar fronted band with catchy tunes you can dance and scream to, CATB is your band! Do yourself a favor and go see them.
Without question one of the best live acts I have seen in a while! Crowd was into every song all night. Venue was great. Catfish & the Bottlemen were incredible!
Best live show I’ve ever been to, incredible energy and performance. The music and the crowd were unreal. It was a dream
Catfish and the Bottlemen are hands down one of the best live bands. 3rd time seeing them and they never disappoint! This was my first time attending a show at the Anthem and I was blown away, great venue. The stage setup makes you feel like you are a part of the experience with the band, great venue and atmosphere!
