Kodaline gig!
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.)

Kodaline? β¦ Kodaline!
Anyone else totally in love with Kodaline? I hope that's a yes & if you don't know who they are... Well you're gonna. Haha
They are a wonderfully talented 4 piece band that hail from the great place of Ireland, Dublin to be a bit more specific... anyways, if you like bands such as U2 or Coldplay I think you especially love Kodaline!
They performed last night at The Late Late Show with James Corden performing 'The One' off their new album (which you should so buy) Coming Up For Air & let me tell you it was beautiful. I was lucky enough to be there, but even watching on the screen at home they give of this inspiring vibe that left me well, inspired.
Please do check them out. They are incredibly talented & seeing/hearing them live is even better.
Check out their performance from last nights The Late Late Show below:Β

Hello!
Well, since I had picked up Mumford & Sons RSD vinyl, I have been even more excited to hear their new album and I keep listening to those same two songs loving them more and more as I listen. Even without the beloved banjo playing throughout the songs, they still have that same Mumford & Sons sound that we've all come to love. The lyrics that are poured through the songs are so relatable and make you think, yet allow you to also escape and wonder around to many other feelings without even knowing it. So far this album is going to be a favourite of mine for 2015β¦ Too what's better than a new Mumford & Sons album!
Are you excited about this new album or what new album are you excited to hear this year?
Also what's been your favourite album of 2015 thus far?
