NEON TREES IN CONCERT:
If Neon Trees' kaleidoscopic image is a perfect fit for their name, the band's sound is an even more fitting realization of their moniker, all punchy drums and prismatic synth lines. Ever since being tapped by the Killers as openers on their2008 tour, the Trees have been an impressive live presence, delivering adrenalin-filled shows full of dance-ready songs like "Animal" and "1983." Frontman Tyler Glenn floored fans with his showmanship and intensity on the band's 2013 tour dates, and with a new album due out in 2014, he'll be bringing it harder than ever on the Pop Psychology Tour 2014.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Initially formed in California by singer Tyler Glenn and guitarist Chris Allen, Neon Trees soon moved to Provo, immersing themselves in the Utah Music scene and making a name for themselves in the region. After touring with the Killers in 2008, the band signed to Mercury Records and released their 2010 debut full-length Habits, an impressive first effort that spawned several singles and earned the band their first No. 1 with "Animal." 2012 follow-up Picture Show was an even bigger success, leading to tour dates with a slew of big name acts including the Offspring, Maroon 5, and Taylor Swift. With their third album Pop Psychology due out in 2014, the band are on the road once again for another high-octane tour.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Neon Trees' performance is always so energetic and interesting, it really does make the experience unforgettable. Tyler Glen is a performance genius and his voice is like butter."
"The lead singer is a fantastic performer. His dancing is contagious and makes me happy. They vary the songs, so they are not exact repeats of the CD version, and they go all out every night they perform."
"Neon trees put on an absolutely great show! The lead singer has ridiculously awesome stage presence and his energy is infectious. I would definitely see them again. "
This was my 3rd time seeing Neon Trees perform, and I'd have to say it was my favorite. I think they connected with the fans here in Columbus a lot better than when I seen them in Chicago, although Lollapalooza is not as interpersonal. I've gotta say New Politics was a phenomenal opener. I instantly became a fan and look forward to seeing them again.
Not only did I enjoy the music, but Neon Trees delivers it well too.
Pretty amazing show overall, although I think New Politics kinda stole the show with their crazy antics and floor seizures (had to be there, pretty awesome).
This was my third time seeing Neon Trees and they still remain amazing and unforgettable at each performance. They're so energetic and fun and really get the entire crowd involved and having fun during the entire performance. What made this night even more unforgettable for me was the fact that the band stuck around after the show and took photos with fans and signed autographs. There was even someone there handing out free posters to have signed in case you didn't have anything on you for the band to sign. What made this even better was how kind and personable the entire band was. They had conversations with everyone and joked around with you. They truly were thankful for you coming to the show and being there and you could definitely feel that. If you ever get the chance to see these guys play, do yourself a favor and do it.
Talk about energy! Tyler Glenn is a madman onstage. Neon Trees can really get a place moving on a monday night. We enjoyed the venue, too! The Magic Stick is a fun place to see a band. I will be back there again. Have to give props to the other two groups that opened. Young the Giant had a good sound. My date and I were both very pleased to see and learn about New Politics. They have a very fun, energetic, danceable sound. It was like going to a party. The price of entry was more than worth it. Although, it was a good size crowd, I was surprised not more people came out and packed the place. I am glad I didn't miss it.!
great show. found some new bands that played with the band we were originally going to see. only thing i would suggest is that when fans are getting stuff signed or talking with band members after the show to not have security guards kick us out because its too late for their liking. show was great, especially for the money!
It was great! Sadly the crowd was not big enough/not into it enough so the lead singer kept telling everyone to act alive! The pre-show was even better! Young the Giant and New Politics were amazing and deserve to have their own show!
Neon Trees put on an awesome show. They are great.
Overall, the band sounded great which is hardly the case for live music, but the lead singer was strange. He should definitely do less talking and more singing. He came off condesending asking how much we paid for our tickets and if we didn't have anything better to do on a Saturday night. He insulted our city by saying he was glad we were not out in New Orleans with all the rapists, although it was his first time here. After a few songs, he took off his jacket, after another he took off his shoes, then his necklace. I was afraid he'd be naked by the end of the show. He asked everyone in the seats to come down to the floor, but the security staff wouldn't let. He fell off the stage, had to get the secuirty guards to prop him back up, then his mic got tangled up in the stage wires. It was just awkward all the way around.
It was awesome annd far more intimate then i had expected,, loved it!!!
This was one of the best shows i've ever been to. Neon Trees plays with so much energy it was amazing. I'm trying my hardest to make it to their next show!
Neon Trees, New Politics, and Young the Giant. A great combination of music, people, and energy. The venue was awesome. I mean, a bowling alley in the first floor and a stage upstairs? Heck yeah! Made hanging out before the show extra fun and gave us a chance to relax and not freeze outside until the venue made us go out there. Plus, they only made us wait outside about half an hour. Young the Giant doesn't necessarily tickle my fancy, but they had a good stage presence and sounded solid. New Politics were all over the place, in a good way. They had so much energy and interacted with the crowd and their music is quality stuff that's great live. Neon Trees. Amazing. I've loved these guys for a while now and this was my 11th show seeing them. They evolve and adapt and grow as a live band wonderfully and the crowd ate it up. They have amazing chemistry with each other on stage and they work the crowd perfectly. They sound solid and true live not only instrumentally but vocally. Singer Tyler Glenn live sounds just like he does on their album "Habits." If you haven't seen Neon Trees yet, DO IT. Plus, all their tickets this tour (save some holiday radio shows) are super cheap!
Missed Young the Giant... New Politics had a badass drummer which automatically keeps my ears happy regardless of how annoying the lead singer is.. The guy had a decent voice for a scrawny little bastard and the break-dancing was an interesting surprise but the guys repetitive stage antics got old quick ( putting his hand to his head and pretending to blow his brains out). Neon Trees .... HOT CHICK Drummer.. need I say less.. These guys rocked live.. I couldnt understand a word he said but the beats kept my head bouncing.. The singer is definately a born showman and I am sure these guys will blow up with the G rated rock crowd.
The show was great. We have seen Neon Trees before and each show just gets better and better. The band was taking pictures with fans before the show started. And also in the club walking around. They are so nice and down to earth. THEY CARE ABOUT THEIR FANS VERY MUCH. Tyler as usually was so effing crazy on stage and even ran down to pit !! Wonderful performers. They sound as good live as they do on Cd. Once again AWESOME TIME!!!! Have never seen New Politics live before and was impressed by their performance. Crazy mofos. Great time and great show! Young The Giant band was also pretty cool.
