This band is simply great. Good music, good fun, and so good with the crowd. Always a good time, smiling ear to ear through each song.
Wakey!Wakey! and Jukebox the Ghost were both fabulous; different enough so that the whole concert didn't feel the same, but similar enough that the transition between them was not awkward. Wakey!Wakey! was very interactive with the crowd, with lead singer Mike Grubbs telling anecdotes between some songs and making fun of himself when he had to stop and repeat the opening line of a song because of a mixed-up lyric. I was unfamiliar with their music, but it didn't stop me from enjoying the show, and they've definitely made me into a fan! Jukebox the Ghost played a great set that did well to balance their energetic pop songs with their slower ballads, also rotating between their two singers every few songs. They played mostly songs from their previously released albums, treating the audience to 2 new songs from their upcoming release, and one song to continue their self-described "Terrible habit of playing terrible covers," in this case it was "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News.
Jukebox was great, and opening act Dynamite Walls was an amazing find - great show to catch with two bands on their way up! Catch em in the small venues while you still can.
