Palace unifies indie rock and blues rock into a single genre that envelopes you like a London fog. Formed in 2012 in the UK by Leo Wyndham, Rupert Turner, Will Dorey, and Matt Hodges, the buzz began after their first gig. "A part of us thought we might be the s***tiest band in the world," Wyndham revealed to DIY Magazine. "The moment we started playing, we could see it in people's faces. They liked it."
Lost in the Night, the band's 2014 debut EP, set Palace's cinematic tone in stone. Drenched in reverb, Wyndham's vocals recall Jeff Buckley. He admits that he's "obsessed" with the late singer, who opened his eyes -- and ears -- to performing with all his emotional vulnerabilities on display. He also counts Kurt Cobain and underground singer/songwriter Daniel Johnston as influences.
The 2015 follow-up, Chase the Light, landed Palace more radio play on the BBC. The subsequent full-length albums, So Long Forever and Life After, were somber affairs. Palace recorded Shoals during the pandemic, which brought the band -- now a three-piece -- even closer together. It also forced Wyndham to confront his own struggles with mental health. "My brain was like a conveyor belt of negative thoughts and a feeling of purposelessness," he told NME. "When music was taken away, I started to wonder what the f**k my purpose was." His physical health was deteriorating as well -- Wyndham caught COVID-19 while making the album and suffered from inflamed lungs for nine months. Ultimately, the isolation added a new depth to Palace's music, and it's one they can't wait to share with fans. The band has announced plans to tour in the U.S. in late 2022.
the best concert of my life. An incredible performance by incredible people, absolutely can’t wait to see them again
I love Palace and they put on an incredible show! They have so many hit jams and they played them all! On top on that…they played at 9:30 Club which is the best music venue in DC!
The most beautiful and chilling concert I’ve every been to. Drove over 4 hours to see them and I’d do it 100 more times. Their music somehow sounded even BETTER in person. 10/10
This band has a special place in my heart. It was a dream come true to finally see them perform live right in-front of me. The venue was spectacular. Everything was clean and organized. One comment I have though is on the sound system. At times it was a little hard to hear the singers voice because it was over powered by the music. I could still hear him fine but I think they could adjust the voice volume. Overall 10/10 experience :)
They exceeded the very high expectations we had for them. Incredible show for anyone!
I can’t express how much love I have for this band. If you ever get the chance, don’t hesitate to go see them!
i stumbled on them almost 2 yrs ago, and ever since it’s been a dream to see them live! it was truly the best experience! not to mention my first true ever concert experience, it made it all the more special. hands down a must see!! thankful to have had the opportunity to see them live and hope to soon again! (:
this band is absolutely perfect. i couldnt have asked for a better show. they are such good performers and i woukd absolutely see them a million more times!!!!
This was the first concert where the sound was perfect. There was a harmony between all instruments and load speakers. 👏👏👏
Palace was soooooooo good! Incredible live! The Danforth is as basic as theatres get, im only 5'8 and my legs barely fit behind the seat in front of me, but thats really my only complaint!
Palace was fantastic! I’ve been listening to them for years now so to see them was really special.
Venue was good, sound was amazing, both bands did an awesome.
AMAZING CONCERT!! But it seems the audience forgot how to listen to live music during Covid. All the people around me didn’t know how to shut up while Palace was performing. You go to a concert to listen to an artist not your own big mouth. Let’s hope next time isn’t story time but more listening time.
Palace was an amazing concert. Great vibes from both the band and the audience. Lovely chill venue. Overall, WONDERFUL concert!
it was fun and personal. it’d been so long since i’d been to a concert and had almost forgot how it felt and the way the music shakes your bones! it was exactly what i needed
Hands down the best live experience I've ever experienced. That includes more than just music. Palace is a true talent.
Mark my words Palace is going to be HUGE ...like as in Coldplay kind of HUGE. 😊
