LA OREJA DE VAN GOGH IN CONCERT:
Spanish indie pop outfit La Oreja de Van Gogh has been winning over fans around the world with their romantic songwriting and dreamy live shows for the past two decades. In concert frontwoman Leire Martínez delivers her poetic lyrics with infectious warmth, radiating passion and emotion as she casts an amorous spell over the crowd with her rich, powerful voice. Martínez competed in the Spanish version of reality talent competition The X Factor before replacing former La Oreja de Van Gogh singer Amaia Montero in 2008, and the impressive performance chops she brings to the table have enhanced the band's live shows ever since. As Martínez works her magic, the rest of the band sets an uplifting mood with energetic bass, guitar, keys, and drums. The result is a stirring set of Spanish-language pop ballads that transcend language barriers and appeal directly to the heart.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
La Oreja de Van Gogh was formed in 1998 by four college students from San Sebastián, Spain. After cutting their teeth playing covers of bands like U2 and Nirvana, they started penning their own songs and won a local pop music contest. The prize was studio time to record a four-song EP, and the resulting collection garnered the attention of Sony Music. The band made their debut on the label in 1998 with Dile al Sol, a Spanish chart hit that ultimately sold more than 800,000 copies. Their rise continued with the albums El Viaje de Copperpot (2000) and Lo Que Te Conté Mientras Te Hacías La Dormida (2003), both of which sold more than two million copies worldwide thanks to international hits like "Rosas" and "La Playa." In 2006 the band won a Latin Grammy for Best Pop Album by a Duo or Group for their album Guapa, but the following year original frontwoman Amaia Montero left to pursue a solo career. Leire Martínez stepped in to fill her shoes in 2008, making her recording debut with the band later that year on the album A Las Cinco en el Astoria. Since then the new lineup has continued to tour the world, proving they're as fantastic as ever with Martínez on board.

by Laau on 5/14/17Royce Hall - UCLA - Los AngelesI really enjoyed the concert! The only thing that I didn't like about the place was that people from the back started to come by to the front in the hallways and being standing up there during all the concert.

Rating: 5 out of 5 LODVG gifted us with a outstanding!!!
by EmoDork on 3/1/12Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom @ - New York @ , NY @ - Thu, Jan 26, 2012 - New York CityEven though LODVG has always been a band I love, it was really until Leire joined it that I became a passionate fan. I attend about 2 to 3 live performances a month, so far this is my one of my favorites of the year. The sound was perfect, it that is possible in this world; I did not need my earplugs. However, I must complaint the poor performance of the venue crew. Many paid hundreds of dollars for front seats, and ended up behind an all admisison standing audience, which block the view the paid for. They crew made one fail attempt to push the crowd back, but did not enforce energetically.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Best Concert Ever
by OrejaFan on 1/30/12Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom - New YorkI go to about 50 concerts per year. All genres. This was my favorite concert that I've been to in a long time. Leire Martinez is a phenomenal vocalist with undying energy. The "boys" provided precise accompaniment. This group plays to sold out football arenas in their native Spain. To see them in such a small, intimate venue was truly a treat. After the group worked through their pre-determined set list (which included ALL the hits, new and old), Leire told the light operators that she wanted to do one more, and they kept on playing. After the show, all five members of the band came out to greet the fans that had stayed. A truly unforgettable experience.
Rating: 5 out of 5 A night to remember with La Oreja de Van Gogh!
by bandida2k on 1/29/12Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom - New YorkIt was a great night. The show started on time, the seats were great and the show amazing. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that too many people was standing in the front of the stage I guess because they were excited BUT I didn't see any employees trying to avoid this. Five stars to La Oreja de Van Gogh and four stars to the employees at Manhattan Center.

Rating: 5 out of 5 ¡Fenomenal!
by Anonymous on 1/28/12Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom - New YorkFue mi primera vez viendo LOVG en vivo, y me encantó. Tocaron muy bien, y tocaron todas mis canciones favoritas. La manera de bailar de Leire Martínez fue perfecta -- mucha variedad, mucha energía. Involucró a los espectadores -- gesticuló a nosotros, nos dejó cantar unos versos de las canciones, etc. Casi pareció una fiesta con la banda como líder, en vez de un espectáculo que solamente vimos. La interpretación de Jueves fue preciosa; estaba a punto de llorar al final. Antes de que interpretaran Mi Calle es Nueva York, ¡Xabi San Martín tocó el theremín! ¡Qué sorpresa! Fue una noche inolvidable. Viajé desde Arlington VA (tardé 4+ horas, tanto de ida como de vuelta), y valió la pena sin duda.
