I thought the band put on a good show, but the sound was horrible. It seemed like the levels were completely off, and whenever the time came for a big chorus or other part of a song which was supposed to blow you away, it instead seemed weak.
The band was great live. We came from Tampa FL for the show and it was worth the drive. The venue was also great. The staff was extremely friendly. White lies played all the
Had a blast. School of seven Bells opened for them and were also great. White Lies gave an awesome show and the energy in the room was electric!
We came up from Ft.Lauderdale,FL. for this show coz NY got cancelled. Really great to see these guys live. Played both first and second album tracks.
The band played all the great songs from the previous album and a lot from their new! Really had a great time watching them. Band signed the CD's I bought at the venue, so that's cool!
Despite growing up in the 90’s, I am an 80’s baby when it comes to music. So anytime a new band puts out music in that vein, it always catches my attention. The show was great and they play with a lot of energy, and it reminded me of a cross between The Killers and Interpol. The acoustics are never great at Terminal 5 for bands with natural instruments, but the bass and drums were coming out well the whole show. I’ll definitely be checking them out the next time they’re in town.
Although the show wasn't sold out, White Lies front man Harry McVeigh was a bit surprised to see a big turnout at Terminal 5. T5 is huge compared to Bowery Ballroom or Highline. You really can't feel that one-on-one impact or it lacks emotion or connection to the band whenever we're @ T5, but I was willing to see them and so we went. Too bad to those who missed it. The crowd was a bit laid back at first, but Harry McVeigh defied the crowd and won them over with his heartbreaking, dark lyrics. The band hit the crowd with back-to-back cookies. WOW! Harry sang with passion and my friends sang and danced along - most of the time we were all holding each other. A bit embarrassing really, but we were hanging on to every word. Love...love this band.
I came from Brazil for this gig and it was the most pleasant moment in my travel. I'm amazed and in love!! <3 Now I'm wishing deeply they come to Brazil or Latin America so I can have it more. Love, love, love!!
White Lies is an amazing band, and the show was fabulous...
it was a very interesting show, relaxing but it was good.
Nice. Very NIce Nice. Very NIce Nice. Very NIce Nice. Very NIce
White Lies - what an awesome band to have seen live, something on the cusp of Joy Division meets pop. Really solid delivery, both the lyrics and music are just raw and honest and very driven, and the lead singer's voice is just tops. Will definitely see them again!
White Lies was able to provide a great night of nostalgia with an remastered 80's sound.
White Lies totally rocked with a high energy performance and powerful songs. Anyone who is a fan of alternative rock should see this band! I'd be surprised if White Lies didn't hit it big in the USA. School of Seven Bells was great too. Asobi Seksu would have been another good opening act...
Five star show. Not having heard them live before because I was never able to catch any of their handful of NY shows over the last # of years, this was an act that I was looking forward to hearing live at the first opportunity. I think I can best describe their studio sound like this: have you ever tried to put something back in a box and it doesn't fit right so you're pushing it all in and forcing it to fit just so you can close the top? That's what I think of when I hear their songs through my speakers. As I do enjoy their studio sound, (it's what put me on to them in the first place and I can never play it loud enough), I was really curious to see if a live show would reveal the larger, more explosive sound that they own, versus a 'bottled up' type of studio recorded sound. I was more than impressed and the show beat my expectations by a long shot. There was a lot of energy, some explosive moments, and the crowd seemed to feel it at the same times that I did. There was a reciprocating energy: the band was pretty interactive with the crowd, really got them going at times, and as the crowd got hyped, the band played back to it. The lead singer was enjoying himself and that was a factor in keeping the crowd engaged. Maybe it was the successful formula of a good crowd (they seemed to be there for the band, as opposed to a crowd that always goes to the same spot to hear different bands), and a venue that can support their larger than studio sound, but for me it was a great time, not a flat moment. It was good to finally hear them at a level that my stereo can't reach
Amazing show! Each band played great and it almost seemed too good to be true. I loved all bands! Also, I saw the coolest guitar I have ever seen in my life. It was completely mirrored! The lead singer from White Lies played on it.
The band sounded great. Great music and live performances put me in a state of bliss throughout the show. I will see them again, can't wait!
White Lies turned out to be as good as expected and then some. With the release of another full studio album the band was able to play a lengthy set worthy of a band of their newly achieved status as a main act. Sonically they they were as tight and on point as can be with the lead vocalist impressing song after song. As armband they were charming and gracious and even group bowed after their three song encore. great show!
Great stage presence. Great sound system. Totally rocked!!!!
I was skeptical they may be a studio band but was very pleased, even in that venue, how great they sounded and an overall awesome performance. Could have played longer but I will definitely see them again and recommend them to everyone.
