Kodaline gig!

6 May

Kodaline performed at the beautiful Wiltern the other night and let me just say they were fantastic. Their opener was another Irish artist Gavin James who pretty much kept all eyes and ears on him. His voice echoed through the room and left you feeling so in the moment as everyone was pretty hushed as well. He was amazing to watch and even better to hear live.

After Gavin James and a 25-30 minute wait, Kodaline was ready to come out, as the lights turned down and it was their time the whole room filled with screams of excitement. They started off the set with their song 'Ready' which is off their new album "Coming Up For Air"(Out Now) and ended it all with 'All I Want' off their first album "In A Perfect World". As they went through their setlist, every song had energy, love and was full of lots of guitar changes from Mark Prendergast. Probably the most guitar changes I've ever seen in a set, but amazing nonetheless. Anyways, getting back to the music… they had so much excitement from the crowd and gave a performance that left you feeling like you knew them and were just hanging out. They had one of the best most natural performances I've seen in awhile and their one of those bands you really have to experience live yourself.

So, if you get the chance to catch Kodaline and/or Gavin James on tour you've got to.

In the meantime check out some of the photos I took at the show. (Hadn't the chance to get any of Gavin but I hope you enjoy these of Kodaline.)
