ROYAL BLOOD IN CONCERT:
In just a few short years, British garage outfit Royal Blood has gone from a little-known upstart to a sought-after touring partner for acts like Pixies and The Arctic Monkeys. The key to their success? One of the most entertaining, high-octane live shows in rock music. Royal Blood is a duo, but the massive wall of sound they create in concert is the stuff of arena glory, all blaring guitars and crashing cymbals. Add to that the bluesy wail of lead vocalist Mike Kerr and catchy tracks like "Little Monster" and you've got yourself one heck of a live show. Already big stars in the UK, Royal Blood continue to grow their stateside fanbase with rollicking performances on tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Royal Blood was formed in 2012 in Brighton, UK, by singer Mike Kerr and drummer Matt Swan. Swan was replaced by the band's current drummer Ben Thatcher, and in 2013 the new duo made their debut with the heavy-hitting single "Out of the Black". The song launched the band to prominence virtually overnight, topping the UK Rock Chart and earning them a nomination for the BBC Sound of 2014 award. Royal Blood topped the charts again in 2014 with their second single "Little Monster", which they supported with several high-profile shows with the Arctic Monkeys. An up-and-coming act with unparalleled energy in concert, Royal Blood continue to rock fans on their must-see tours.
What an incredible show. To see Royal Blood in Clifton Park, & to get so close, was amazing. They just opened for the Foo Fighters & we got to see them in an intimate venue as the headliner. Great show. Entertaining. Great music & sound quality.
Royal Blood did not play as long as expected and the opening band was great! Would have loved to see Royal Blood have played longer!!
It was a short set that went by fast, but every song was amazing. I love hearing bands live that sound exactly as they do on CD. I would totally recommend to anyone to see this band live. They already have a big following, but I think they're going to be BIG. Such a great show.
Awesome, awesome show! These guys are going to skyrocket! Great performance and great venue! Ticketmaster made it a cinch to order tickets and get in to the show. Possibly the best concert experience I've had an years.
Royal Blood was amazing! Great venue, truly not a bad seat in the place. Only complaint was that it was too short!!! ;)
The best and most intense show I have seen in a while. Definitely worth paying to see. Cant wait to see them again. Great venue
I caught Royal Blood in Nashville when they opened for Bush. Drove in from Nashville to see the show. Really happy to see them headlining. Amazing how much rock these two young men can bring. The crowd really showed their appreciation. Can't wait until they release another CD and are back in the states. If they play in the Southeast. I'm there!!!
Just go see them and let the music explain it to you...
Saw Royal Blood for the first time at Center Stage in Atlanta this past weekend and they rocked it!!! They are simply badass high energy rock and roll! I wish they would have played longer than they did (only an hour), but I know their repertoire is limited at this early point. The Mini Mansions opened and they were absolutely dreadful. Perfect example of trying too hard. Just Google some pics of the dude in the Question Mark suit and I think that will say enough. Other than that, I highly recommend seeing Royal Blood live and Center Stage is a sick venue as well! It is a small, dark, semi-circle, old school venue with easy access to beers and bathrooms. Absolutely no issues at all with the venue. Go see Royal Blood!
There is not a rock band around today that can rock harder than these two. Two guys on the stage, incredible sound, perfection in performance. Their debut CD is incredible and the live show exceeded my expectations. I can't believe I was lucky enough to see them at the 1,000 seat venue Center Stage less than a week before they open at Wembley for Foo Fighters! I'll never forget it.
This was one of the the top best live sounds I've ever heard! If possible, they sounded even better live than recorded!
Royal Blood put on an AWESOME show!! It's hard to believe that these guys are newcomers by the way they performed. Go to their show--you won't regret it!
The venue was intimate and the bands were awesome! Pulse who looked really young and starting out was fantastic. I look to see great things from them but of course the highlight of the evening was Royal Blood. They were everything I expected and more. Great band to go see because they sound exactly like their record and that is only because they made the effort when recording to do no dubbing or looping. It is strictly just them playing and that's the way it should always be.
Royal Blood were amazing!! I was really impressed with their live sound!
This UK two piece came to Columbus and KILLED IT. Their stage energy ignited the crowd and capture almost album quality audio playing live. If they were playing anywhere close tomorrow I would road trip to see them again. I cant recommend them enough, or wait for them to return!!!!
What an amazing sound, presence, and show! Who knew 2 people could be so loud and rock so hard??
Opener Mini mansions was great, and despite abbreviated set list Royal Blood rocked the house!
I was worried about paying to see a band less than an hour of material, but they made the most of what they had. Amazing how much sound they produce from just two people!
Royal Blood put on a heck of a show! Mike and Ben are consummate musicians. Mike's bass technique paired with his control of effects is matched by his lyricism and vocal ability. Ben's drumming was powerful and clock-like. The two of them obviously enjoy their time playing their music and it compelled the audience to react in kind. The audience was receptive and engaged and active. My concert crew are looking forward to the next time we can see Royal Blood!
These guys put on an amazing show. Well worth the money!
