Critically acclaimed and multi-platinum band Young the Giant returns with their brand new single "Wake Up". The song marks the first glimpse into the group's imminent fifth studio release, American Bollywood. The new material will be released throughout 2022 as a series of four acts titled: Origins, Exile, Battle and Denouement. "Wake Up" is the band's return from the 2018 album Mirror Master which included their single "Superposition" which reached #1 on US Alternative Charts. Young The Giant was established in 2004 and is comprised of Sameer Gadhia (vocals), Jacob Tilley (guitar), Eric Cannata (guitar), Francois Comtois (drums) and Payam Doostzadeh (bass). The band first broke through with their 2010 self-titled debut album, which featured the RIAA-Multi platinum certified hits, "My Body" and "Cough Syrup". This was followed by the release of 2014's Mind Over Matter, which was both a commercial and critical success. Young the Giant continued to brave new themes and sonic landscapes with their wildly adventurous third album, Home of the Strange. The New York Times proclaimed Lead Singer Sameer Gadhia, "one of the great contemporary rock voices." The band has sold out performances at historic venues such as Radio City Music Hall, The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, The Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, and more. They have become a festival mainstay at high profile outings such as Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, and Governor's Ball among others.
This was a pretty high energy show, not to mention sold out! Young the Giant is a group of very talented artists who work really well together and enjoy what they do, that's apparent. The lead singer's voice is intoxicating and will definitely leave you with songs or at least some lyrics stuck in your head for a while! Mercury Lounge is a fine venue.
Even though I am used to bigger venues, the Mercury Lounge was great. I loved that you can be close to the stage without the hassle of dealing with railings and security guards. I very much enjoyed watching Young the Giant and would most definitely come back to watch any other bands of my interest.
Young the Giant is an amazing band! They put on a fantastic show, and Sameer has a voice like no other.
They are a wonderful band and wonderful guys. They always put on a great show- I recommend them to everyone! :)
These guys are getting a lot bigger now. They packed The Roxy in Hollywood and I'm so glad I got to see them. So much energy and got the whole place moving. Awesome songs which I saw live for the first time and I've only been listening to them for about two weeks. If you like Minus the Bear and Local Natives definitely look these guys up!
Premiering songs from the album released at the show, Young the Giant performed brilliantly to a packed Roxy audience. Opening the show was a band that sounded like Vampire Weekend had a naughty priest like relationships with The Beach Boys, they went by The Smiles... pretty great. The middle band started with a V, and were pretty forgettable. The lead singer looked like he was doing us all a favor, and seemed almost annoyed to have to play to such a packed and enthusiastic crowd on the Sunset Strip. Finally though, Young the Giant took the stage and played through most of the songs on their first album (available on iTunes). These guys are amazing live performers who bring an incredible energy to the stage and who you can tell truly love playing their music. If you have a chance, catch these guys live, buy the album, get on board early... these guys are going to be huge. nb
