Live from Washington, D.C...Walk the Moon

Hello again! Sorry I haven't posted in a little bit. Things have been less than stellar, but I'm gearing up for another great adventure this Monday: Washington D.C. to see Walk the Moon at the Black Cat (sounds slightly ominous, kind of edgy...I like it!) The tickets are only $10, so I am one happy, music-loving college kid! Walk the Moon is a fantastic group that I found out about this past fall. A friend of a friend goes to school in Cincinnati, where WtM regularly played the smaller venues. She told her friend, who told me and the rest of my friends, and now we're making a trip to go see them! I've played WtM here on the blog before, but they definitely deserve another listen.

P.S. I downloaded An Horse's two albums: "Rearrange Beds" and "Walls" and they are both amazing! I hardly ever download whole albums, but the tracks are all great, and I can't get enough of them.

Enjoy the music! :)

Concert Update 6/14/11: We spent the afternoon in D.C. yesterday, and after exploring some of the museums downtown, we made our way to the Black Cat. The Black Cat is a very small venue compared to the other ones I've been to so far this summer. My friends and I stood right up front, and there was no barrier between us and the stage. Nick, Walk the Moon's lead singer/ keyboardist, and Kevin, WtM's bassist, were so close to us, we were waiting for them to either jump into the crowd or give us high-five's, haha.
One thing I can say for sure: Walk the Moon's energy and sheer passion for what they do was practically tangible last night. I don't think their smiles ever left their faces, and their excitement spread to the crowd, making for one amazing show. After their set, they worked their own merch table, and we got to talk to them. They shook our hands, took a picture with us, and humored our excited chatter. They are a genuinely great group of guys, and I hope they continue on their path to success and never lose their spark. Last night was well worth the 3 hour drive.
