About

Icelandic six-piece Of Monsters and Men have delighted audiences around the world with their uplifting English folk-pop sound, full of soaring harmonies and captivating melodies. The monster hit “Little Talks” was many fans’ introduction to the band – it was certified Platinum in the US, reaching No. 1 on the US Alternative chart. 2013 saw the band wowing ticket buyers at live concerts and festivals, showing they’re just as talented on stage as in the recording studio. Formed in 2010, the band met with success quickly, winning Iceland’s annual band competition Músíktilraunir later that year. In 2011, Of Monsters and Men signed to Record Records and released the Into the Woods EP. Their debut album My Head is an Animal was released in Iceland in September 2011 and in the US in April 2012 by the Universal Music Group. The album – full of  acoustically driven, infectiously energetic folk-rock – peaked at No. 6 on the US Billboard 200 album chart and reached the top 5 in Australia, Canada, Germany, and the UK.

    Of Monsters & Men was AMAZING. State Theater great

    by blahdieblahblah on 8/1/12State Theatre - Portland

    Of Monsters & Men was absoluately amazing. Their sounds is just great, and they were better live than in recording. Amazing. State Theater is nice. I'd go there again. The wait was torture, though. I waited far longer than expected. The opening acts were unbelievably bad. It was a kind of cruel torture. I wish that I had arrived at 10pm, rather than 6pm. That' four hours of my life I'll never get back...

    Well worth the wait!

    by monsterfan1995 on 8/1/12State Theatre - Portland

    There were two opening acts, one of which i really enjoyed (elle king)! We ended up waiting quite a while even after the two long opening acts before the main band came out. I think they were having technical difficulties, but eventually they came out and it was immediately worth it. The band is fantastic live, and really know how to work the crowd, especially the drummer who is a beast and a half. The lead singer has a beautiful voice and they performed 8-10 songs, so basically their whole album. I would definitely go again because they are amazing.

    Great show

    by lsms on 8/1/12State Theatre - Portland

    Of Monsters and Men were great; Would highly recommend seeing them, as well as any show at the State Theater - great venue. The first warm up band was good -she was very entertaining. The second act we could have done without. That was the only drawback of the night - It was 3 hours before Of Monsters and Men came out. Otherwise, great show!

    Great Show!

    by Anonymous on 4/14/12Jillian's - Albany

    I was near the stage, about three rows back, and it was amazing! I didn't know the Of Monsters songs by heart, but the band made them easy-to-learn and engaged the crowd in all of their "la las" and "hey!"s. The crowd was great as well. You could tell that all of the band members are genuinely nice and fun in real life and that they all get along. They kept smiling at and singing to each other. They also played three songs for the encore.

    Amazing

    by MeganB315 on 4/12/12Webster Hall - New York

    Of Monsters and Men were absolutely amazing. It's not very often that you get the opportunity to see true artists these day. They actually sound better than their cd and you don't find that too often. The only thing I can say that was a downfall was that the show wasn't long enough!!!

    Of Monsters and Men rocked!!!

    by MWestyX on 4/12/12Jillian's - Albany

    Excellent show. Venue was okay. Big open space. Some issues with sound and feedback on occasion. Opener Lay Low, also Icelandic, was great too though only played a touch over 30 minutes.

    OMAM was worth the wait!!!

    by Gitay on 4/9/12Webster Hall - New York

    Of Monsters and Men were incredible! Their songs sounded as good, if not better, live. They were entertaining and interactive with the crowd and just seemed to be having a great time! I would say the one drawback was that we saw the setlist and they didn't play the last sogn on the list, "Yellow Light". I wasn't all that upset since it's my least favorite song of theirs, but I was surprised when they didn't complete their setlist. Overall though, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND you check this band out. They are just too much fun to miss!

    Great venue. Amazing band. Fun crowd. Area around venue was fun before and after event. Only problem was incredibly expensive and small drink in Webster Hall. Minor issue but an overall awesome night.
