Washed Out Tickets

Great venue Great artist So glad i was able to make it

Washed out was dope!!! A little crowded and cramped but overall great show. Washed out was excellent

While I've been a huge fan of Washed Out, I wasn't sure how it would translate live on stage. Based on some YouTube videos, I was a little gun shy of Washed Out's "live" performance abilities (knowing Ernest Greene composed the majority of the music on his bedroom studio). However, his LA performance blew away all expectations! In fact, it was one of the best shows I've seen in quite some time (and I see a fair amount of shows every year). I highly recommend catching Washed Out!

Washed out is one of those bands that you know when you go to see them perform live.. they are either going to exceed you expectations.. or well, call it what it is.. suck. Washed out, needless to say, met and exceeded my expectations. Being a band that sounds quite overly produced on the record (but dont get me wrong.. I dig them like crazy).. it left me a bit apprehensive as to how they would sound live. In addition to their live sound.. they are bit on the "dream psychedelic" rock side.. many tracks slow and melodic.. so how are they going to keep the crowd alive, engaged.. and well, awake? Well first off, their opener Andre' Obin, made sure the crowd was all riled up and ready for Washed out.. keeping with the nugaze/dream rock sound.. but a bit more fast paced and energetic. But as for washed out.. they did an excellent job of reworking some of the songs to be a bit more upbeat and faster paced for their live set, adding a bit of "funk" sound to some of their more sleep-worthy tracks (and I say sleep worthy in a GOOD way). Also, the stage presence and energy was fantastic, and they really are they type of band you want to see in a "smaller" venue ( none of that wanna-be hipster mumbling in the mic nonsense). So overall, excellent show (check out Andre Obin too!), get out there and check em out.. before they hit "the big time"

Washed Out and Andre Obin fish bowled our heads with etheral sound on 4/20. It was upsetting to find out the Memoryhouse was missing due to their gear being stolen, hopefully they have caught the punks. But to compensate Andre Obin got the crowd going with his opening track "Soft Rain". It's dancy beat, groovey arpeggios, and Justin Broderick esque voice really set the mood. Washed Out performed as expected and was reciprocal of crowds vibes. Good times.

Been waiting two albums to see Washed Out in Boston, and it was worth the wait. They played a fantastic show to a packed crowd on (appropriately) 4/20. Originally scheduled opening band Memoryhouse had to cancel two dates due to their equipment being stolen, but Boston solo electronic musician André Obin filled in at that last minute. Fortunately, his lush, dark electronic sound was just the right mood to open for Washed Out.

I was really excited about this show not only for Washed Out but also to see Memoryhouse. After Memoryhouse got their equipment stolen, they could not perform this show. Andre Obin filled in last minute and put on a strong performance. His first two songs in particular really grabbed me and I could tell the crowd was enjoying it as well. He has really cool electronic layers and a sweet, maybe a bit feminine voice. His set up was really minimal with just a few synths, laptop and microphone for vocals. It actually kind of reminded me of what Washed Out used to sound and look like on stage before he had a full band. The toughest part of the gig was the long delay in between acts but that was really my only complaint. Washed Out took the stage drenched in pink and purple lighting that really added to the atmosphere. The band was tight and executed flawlessly. My friend wanted the vocals higher in the mix but I thought they sounded right where they were supposed to be. The live bass guitar really pumped through the Paradise's sound system. While the songs might not sound exactly like the record, they translate well from electronic to the new rock like set up. "Feel it All Around" and "Eyes be Closed" were simply phenomenal. It was a great way to celebrate 4/20. ;)

IT was a nice show and the music of course was great, but the vocals for Washed Out are such a harmonistic element and they were turned way down compared to the instruments...In the future hope that won't happen. I was sitting right behind the soundboard which should really be the best seat in the house for sound too...

Ernest Greene did a great job of enlivening the crowd and adjusting songs to work the live concert environment. Some songs were actually unrecognizable, which at times was a perk and once or twice a bit of a let-down (sometimes you just want the song in its classic form). All of his songs were dreamy and fantastical and surprisingly invigorating - by the last song (before the encore, of course), everyone let loose (even the reserved head bobbers) and was dancing.

Washed Out was great, but the opener was truly awful. There seemed to be some sound issues as well, and no one made efforts to resolve them.

I am a huge Washed Out fan and reviewed several videos of the band's live performance before purchasing tickets, as I know they are heavy on electronics and some electronic bands have a hard time recreating their sound live. The videos I saw were very promising. Unfortunately this was a very bad night for Washed Out. The doors for the show opened at 8pm. The opening act, Memory House, had their equipment stolen that day, so there was a delay and a disappointing opener who came on at almost 9:30. The sound for the opener was terrible and far too heavy on the bass. We hoped that this would be corrected by the time Washed Out took the stage and blamed the sound on the hasty scheduling of the opening act. The opener was done a little after 10, however Washed Out did not take the stage until 11. It was obvious prior to the beginning of their set that they were having technical difficulties as two crew members sat onstage with iPads and laptops in their laps and heavily furrowed brows for nearly 20 minutes. When they finally took the stage the overwhelming bass levels completely drowned out the vocals and it was hugely disappointing. We stayed for 2 songs and left. I completely blame the band for the horrible sound, I've been to dozens of shows at the Paradise Rock Club and have experienced flawless sound on multiple occasions. Whether it was their technically challenged equipment, the difficulties of their openers earlier in the day, or their own indulgence in the "4:20" holiday, Washed Out clearly were not putting on a quality show. I sincerely hope that other Washed Out fans will not be as disappointed as I was at future shows, but I sure as heck will never buy tickets to see these guys live again.

Ridiculously long wait between bands. Over crowded. Sound quality was very poor for how much time they took to set up (1 hour!)

I am even more in love with this band! My sister and I got Amor Fati tattooed the day of the show! Excellent! I would def see them again!

Had a GREAT time, and loved the show. They are a must see. The videos of them live do not do them justice. They are a band you have to see for yourself.

what can i say!! it was as good as when my mom and dad showed me to jesus or when i ate big box of oreos in 5th grade and puked EVERYWERE

Ernest Greene, one of the founders of the newly established "Chill-wave" genre (I am not a hipster, I am just noting the associated genre, as you will find him classified that way mostly everywhere), is a bedroom composer who has established himself as the ringleader of this type of sound. That being said, DO NOT EXPECT TO HEAR THE ALBUMS HE HAS MADE DURING HIS LIVE PERFORMANCE You will not hear it. Rather, you will hear the version that Ernest Greene's live ensemble has rendered for venue performances. It's quite different, but quite good as well. In fact all of the songs are. None of them will have the same quality as the actual CD, not only becuase it is live, but becuase there are actual instruments being played. This is something i learned from seing Toro y Moi's live set in April in Brooklyn. You will not hear the same sounds, but the feeling is still a good one. I personally like Greene's enthusiasm. You could tell he was excited to be playing, and fell into his groove right from the start. He enjoyed playing, but i am not sure if the always snidely-critical hipster fan base was ready to swallow what he was dishing out. The "Washed Out" moniker still perfectly describes the textures that emulates through the sound system, as I almost always associate these sounds with images of slow-rolling waves on a sunset drenched beach captured by 90's polaroid-esque photography. All in all, Ernest Greene and his live band (Washed Out) are a solid act to see live (if you already enjoy them), and should make your feet move. He does not stray from that very principal, which allows him to stand on top of the cooke-cutter, chill-wave genre that has already sunk many one hit bedroom composers. With his new album "Within and Without" just being released, Greene has a strong collection of songs to be played for crowds in the future.

Greene (Washed Out) had a great stage presence. You could tell he was passionate about his music and his fans, very energetic. His voice isn't exactly the same quality as the effects-laiden studio cuts, but certainly passible for a live performance. The quality of the instrumentals is top notch, adding some depth to the otherwise standard DAW sound on the album. (The addition of the saxophone player on 'Feel It All Around' was great!) If you have a chance to see the show this summer, it's completely worth the money...you'll be surfing to the sounds of one of the movement's top performers.

Blood Orange and Grimes were great and the fact that I was able to dance even though I didn't know who they were or any of their songs says a lot. Washed Out was, of course, phenomenal. Ernest Greene is a really good performer because every so often, he would make sure the audience was still with the music by hyping us up and asking us how we were, ya know? It was nice. I loved that he played new and old songs. I would recommend him to anyone who loves chill music; he is definitely keepin' the wave going.
