FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"The show was amazing! Not only was the music great, but the band really gave us a show. We go to tons of concerts every year and the Temper Trap concert is one that will stand out for sure! It was definitely a day to remember!"
"The Temper Trap was unreal! Really good and played all the songs we wanted to hear!"
"First time at Orlando House of Blues....The Temper Trap gave an awesome performance!! Can't wait to go back....would see that show again in a heartbeat!!!"
I have liked The Temper Trap for a long time - it was so great to see them here in the USA. But I have to say their live set is just sooooo awesome... if you are on the fence I recommend you go see these guys - they really had the place jumping.
The most mind-blowingly awesome show I have ever been to. The live vocals were, dare I say, even better than the original recordings!!!
Great performance and opening band was awesome as well.
Solid show, the crowd wasn't dancing though, lame.
They are really good live....the singer's voice is beautiful!!
The Varsity Theatre is a great little venue. The show was sold out, but the Theatre did not feel over crowded. Great bar service and nice remodeling work done upstairs. Temper Trap sounded incredible. Vocals were just outstanding and the emotion behind the music was eminent. I was not incredibly impressed with the lighting. Amazing things were happening on stage, specifically with the drummer, but the lights were in front of the band causing them to be in the shadows. Better lighting would have made this show unforgettable!
so great.... esp for the price. Not all bands can sound good live and they pull it off. No complaints!
The Kissaway Trail was surprisingly good! So young, so talented and fun! I look forward to their CD and keeping in the know when they are playing again in the Twin Cities. We moved closer to the stage to be able to better see The Temper Trap, but the sound wasn't as good. We were too close to the loudspeakers, me thinks. Still, the band was astounding! Dougy, the lead singer, has one of the best voices I've heard in a long time and he sings with such soul and ease. The band was solid and so connected with each other. I heard their interview with Mary Lucia on The Current earlier in the evening. They've come far in 5 years. They're gonna be big! The Varsity Theater...what a venue! I know now where I'll plant myself at the next concert. It's very intimate and fun and the staff was cool and friendly. Everything was amazing, 5 stars for all involved!
I've got 2 words...SICK and SICK!!! These guys were so good...became one of my favorite bands last night. They sound just as good live and their lead singer forces you to get into the set. Nice work fellas!!
Although the sound engineers were not particularly competent and resulted in often awkwardly leveled music balance, Temper trap was nevertheless amazing. I have rarely seen such emotion and presence in a band, especially the lead singer. He was amazing and even dashed up to the crowd during one particular song. Best of all, their rendition of 'drum song' was breathtaking. If you have not seen it, I do not want to spoil the excitement of it and just urge anybody to go see it. It is definitely worth the experience!
great venue and sound, but some technical problems made the show rough at times. but over the band had an indescribable live sound you have to hear for yourself.
Aside from the boring and noisy opening band, the main show itself was fantastic! The lead singer has an innate knack for theatricality. Temper Trap is one of those bands that sound better live than recorded.
Temper trap is not a great band. They do though have 2 radio friendly hit songs. The rest of their music leaves a whole lot to be desired. It was either too repetitive, or just a bad song. The lead singer's voice is unique, but his range is limited, and often times not in sync with the others in the group. Outside of the 2 hit songs "sweet disposition" and "love lost", this band needs work on cultivating some more diversity.
The Energy These Aussies Put In Their Performances Is Remarkable. Some People Say They Are Similar To U2, But I Say They Have Their Own Unique Sound. I Took My Kid Sister Along And - For This Being Her First Show - She Absolutely Loved It. She Even Gave Serious Praise To Opening Act "Darker My Love", Who Were Very Good As Well. Great Energy, Great Show, Great Band. Looks As If These Aussie Chaps Are On Their Way To Very Special Things. All The Best To Them. Cheers.
Most people came to see Temper Trap perform their hit single "sweet disposition" made famous in the movie, 500 days of summer. However, Doogie, impressed everyone with his soothing, falsetto and multitalented skills on the drums and guitar. The setting was simple, but it made the focus solely on the music. The drums thumping and vibrating through the walls and the ground. You couldn't just stand still. You had to bop your head or move your hips or tap the floor with each beat. The band showed everyone that they're more than just sweet... they're severely amusing and gratifying.
Knew the music was good, hadn't realised how much better they were live. Mandagi is the new Freddie Mercury - I hope he takes that as a compliment!
Best concert I've ever been too. Amazing. They were better live than on their CD which I didn't think was possible.
Second tiime seeing The Temper Trap live and it again blew my mind. Amazing band and great venue. Not sure about the first band Darker My Love, just not my cup of tea. But TTT are just great and will see them everytime they're in town!
The show was amazing, the music original, the sound impeccable, the venue really cool, overall I loved it ! Go check out the Temper Trap !
Great show, great venue. These guys rocked. Love love LOVE his voice. Too bad they kept having sound issue thru the first half of the show. I don't like watching the singer have to repeatedly tell the sound guys to turn down or up a mic.
