CHVRCHES Tickets

Great concert. They definitely came to play and i will definitely be seeing them again if they're ever in the area. They sound much better in person and are a very fun band to listen to live. Go if you can! Cheers

For a band with only five songs currently available, CHVRCHES' set was amazing. The group's debut album is going to be killer based off this one performance.

I'm 21 and went to this event with a few friends, all around my age. When Chvrches came out and played "Lies" as their opening song to kick things off, we all lost it. Their overall performance was fantastic, but the crowd looked like they had all been tranquilized. The people in the front row were barely bobbing their heads, and many were standing motionless with their arms crossed. I felt bad for Chvrches and I hope they saw that others around the club were having an absolute blast. Stupid hipsters in the crowd must've thought it was "too mainstream" to exhibit enjoyment.

There are few bands that I like better live than recorded, and Chvrches is ones of them. I had only listened to them a few times, and now am a big fan.

I don't really know how to write these reviews, but the lighting was really pretty and swung my hair from my nose to my nape, and the band played really good music off their EP and their upcoming album. Loved it. Too bad their Dan Croll opening act got canceled, I really like him too.

The band played some favorites and some new tracks. It all sounded great and they made the crowd move.

Great up and coming band! Good view from where we stood.

On a quaint and comfortable overcasted Sunday in June Chvrches took to the stage in front of a SELL OUT crowd of 966 excited, yet well mannered people in Boston's Famous Paradise Rock Club. As 9:15 P.M approached lights slowly dimmed into darkness and altered audio of Prince vocals slowly and deeply played through the sound system. "Dearly beloved We are gathered here today 2 get through this thing called life" The speakers echoing Price show the strong admiration and influence Prince has on Chvrches. "Electric word life It means forever and that's a mighty long time But I'm here 2 tell u There's something else The afterworld" Cool lights of blue and green illuminate the shadows of Chvrches reading to enter stage. "A world of never ending happiness U can always see the sun, day or night" As Prince's words fade out into the darkness a warm red glow of lights hits stage and out comes the band Chvrches. At center stage a spotlight reveals a stunning Lauren Mayberry grabbing hold of the mic and displaying her signature touch; 80s influenced eyeliner over her left eye wearing a simple red patterned dress flowing along side with her brilliantly minded bearded band members. Martin Doherty bleeds out strong youthful energy at stage right jumping and pounding his feet to the beat in a grunge style black and red checkerboard flannel with fitted baseball cap wearing it 90s style. Claming stage left with syntheziers galore is the casually cool Chvches t-Shirted genius Iain Cook. Mayberry forcefully yet adorably begins to burst out with opening song "Lies", "Faster, faster you won't go far". You cannot help, but look and admire how beautiful Mayberry is in person as this young intelligent woman cries out words of hurt with an addictive strong and electric pulsating beat flow that feels wonderful. Mayberry's voice is pleasantly spot on and the music sounds as though you were in studio, but with the pleasure of the live vibes a live show offers. Clearly Mayberry appears more confident than earlier shows from a year ago, but she does reference a strange stage set up where she needs to look and dance in a odd 180 direction, no fault on the band here as this is the Paradise's staging. Doherty and Cook's bodies roll out to the addicting rhythms of sound encompassing the empty black walls of the Paradise as though they are the music themselves. As the song builds the crowd is moving arms and bobbing heads in unison taking the wonderful sound waves in for all they are worth. Some people choose to be to cool for school at first. Not moving much at a Chvrches show has become part of the Chvrches audience in the past including the most recent West coast portion of the tour, but Boston is not a laid back city by any means and being fashionably late to a show and not moving at all is about as popular in Boston as being Dane Cook. As the last beat belts out a surprising roar rings out beginning the start of a new relationship love feast with Chvrches and the city of Boston. As the crowds (made up of a solid balance of different ages in both men, women with different ethnics indicated Chvrches reach to multiple demographics) reaction hits Chvches for the first time the band members glance at one another with eyes a little wider and suttle yet obvious smiles cascade from Cook, Mayberry and Doherty. The authentic boisterous Bostionian reaction is what a band as talented as Chvrches deserves and the Pardise being so small in stature helps capture that reaction to the fullest. Of course the Paradise has hosted many, now famous, bands that were making their first appearances in United States such as U2. Being nestled firmly within the Boston Universtey Campus and just a quick 15 minute Subway Ride from the likes of Harvard University, Emerson College, Boston College & many other Campuses make it the Paradise the perfect venue for young educated diverse audiences to attend. In return many up and coming bands who have come from other parts of the globe will be pleasantly surprised to receive warm welcoming Irish and Scottish transplant cheers. The excitement and passion for the music from the UK is always welcomed in New England. These groups from over the pond will point out that Boston gives them a feeling of being home. This was indicated by Mayberry after Lie's stated a "Warm and Collective Response" and that it was the Bands first time in Boston to recieve a roar in return. Next performance was "We Sink" which touches on near perfection with all three band members belting out vocals at the end. As the night went on with songs such as "Now is Not The Time" and Recover fresh from there only available ITunes Download EP in the US Mayberry announced the September 24th release of Chvrches much anticipated Album and followed it up with the new single, "Gun". Gun is an incredible mix with catchy vocals that is hard to not want more. Clearly this band has much more to offer and ending the show with the hit "Mother We Share" gives Chvrches the unique opportunity to reach wide audiences on the the Depeche Mode leg of there tour and do national TV shows such as Jimmy Fallon. Although Chvrches has only been a band for a short time it is evedent that a certain kind of magic has been concocted with these three and the strength after the sounds in live preformance lies in Chvrches switching things up between Mayberry and Doherty a little more doing a couple songs at lead vocal as well. This is when the band is at its top sharing the stage with each other and allowing different tones in both sound and vocals to be heard. At $15 per ticket you cannot help, but truly want more. They may not be a head liner and some would argue they are too green to Tour as such, but fans should be looking forward to this group breaking down the industry walls and reaching the other side with enormous success in the future.

This was my first time attending a concert that wasn't a set of DJ's at a rave or a tiny backyard jam session. I can't convey how spectacular this show was.... I've been warned that performers don't necessarily sound exactly like how they do on their albums/EPs/ studio recorded tracks, but to my pleasant surprise, CHVRCHES sounded 10000x better than I could have ever imagined them. I wish I knew exactly what to say - actually... it can all be explained thoroughly of the experience I felt if you just attend their show. They're rising rapidly to the limelight in the US; indulge while you can afford the tickets! x

I was very excited to see them live. They lived up to my expectations. Very excited for the album to come out. A must see band!

Chvrches, as expected, were excellent. Still Corners were also a very pleasant surprise. I desperately need to marry Lauren, desperately.

Just an incredible show. Such good synth pop, great chemistry between the band members, love the lead singer. Crowd was so happy to be there with them!!

I love the intimacy of Paradise. The opener Still Corners was great, similar to CHVRCHES.

Highly disappointed that CHVRCHES played just a short set, and they didn't have the energetic stage presence I thought they'd have. Also, they didn't perform half of their songs. I still had fun, but I won't see them again unless they magically improve.

Still Corners and Chvrches were wicked! It was amazing that they played together... I do think that Still Corners was nonetheless underappreciated.

The show was just ok. They need some more practice to develop more of a stage presence. Great music, just not a fantastic performance

This was an amazing show. We were all dancing around like crazy people.. great sound system and great lights, too. Just a thrilling performance. Still Corners was an awesome surprise! They weren't on the ticket so I didn't have time to look them up, but they were fantastic as well.

Best band ever- go see it, great stage precense, great sounds opener was good to

Their music goes right through your body, her voice is remarkably pure, and the lights made it even better

Chvrches were absolutely amazing!!! There is a reason they are selling out every one of their shows here, so don't wait to buy your tickets. Lauren is adorable in person and for such a tiny person she has a powerful set of lungs. Can't wait for their album to come out in September!
