One year later they collected the songs for their self-titled first album, which cracked the Top 40 hit on the UK Albums Chart that also made waves in the US. At their first shows in support of the release the pair proved themselves stellar performers, bringing lush, romantic synthpop-influenced gems like “Drive” and “Technicolor Beat” to life with their signature guy-girl vocals and live keys, guitar, and drums. Their powerful performances and growing reputation has their concerts selling out left and right, and fans won’t want to sleep on the chance to catch these rising pop auteurs on tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Oh Wonder, aka Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West, formed in Southeast London in 2014. They posted their debut track “Livewire” on Soundcloud that same year and pushed themselves by following up each month with a new song. The tracks quickly topped the Hype Machine charts and racked up millions of views on Soundcloud, and in 2015 Oh Wonder collected the songs along with additional singles “Without You” and “Plans” for the self-titled 2015 debut album. The record was popular with critics and landed on charts across Europe, including a No. 26 showing on the UK Albums Chart. Since then they’ve impressed on their first headlining tour, selling out venues around the world and wowing fans with confident and mesmerizing performances that belie their recent arrival to the scene.
The opening act was so amazing! They tried to connect with the crowd and their live performance was off the roof!!! Oh wonder was too amazing. They are so much better live and this was a performance people needed. I'm definitely seeing them again.
Oh Wonder is a British duo who went viral on the net with their upbeat electroballad songs. So here they were for their first New York City show, brought over on the strength of their fans alone. The show was great, the fans were great and the venue was fantastic. Rough Trade is half a block from the East River in Williamsburg, half record store specializing in vinyl and half industrial performance space. Holds about 200 and the place was full. What kind of fans? During the opening set, solo acoustic songwriter Howard had complete silence. During the Oh Wonder set, everyone knew the words and sang along.
