Stunning and Energetic
by CatNSWS on 12/8/15The Fillmore Philadelphia - PhiladelphiaThis night was incredible. I saw the ad for the Wilderness Politics tour a few months before the show and after listening to New Politics and some more Andrew McMahon, (whom I already knew) I bought tickets and decided to go. I was pleasantly surprised by LoLo, who has an amazing voice, and also the Griswolds, who are great performers and super funny and energetic. Since it was the last show of the tour, New Politics came out in bath towels to crash "Heart of a Lion" and it was hilarious. The best thing was that you didn't have to wait that long in between sets, it was sweet. When New Politics came out, the place exploded. Everyone was jumping up and down and the lights and music were so well-coordinated. The bandmembers, David, Soren, and Lou are undeniably passionate about what they do and you can really see that. Not to forget David's incredible dancing, which is sure to win you over. In a music industry where all that seems to matter is popularity and looks, this band stands out in the fact that they don't care what anyone thinks and their goal is always the music, not money or fame. David's little speech before "Overcome" was really inspiring and they are all such good and talented people. I got to meet them after the show and they're truly so down to earth. If you have the chance to see them, do it! You'll have a night full of happiness, I promise.
