Show: The Mowgli's (+Terraplane Sun)
Venue: The Roxy- Los Angeles, CA
Date: 5/8/12
Show #31
Ahh The Mowgli's. A friend of mine highly suggested I came with them to see one of their favorite bands, The Mowgli's. Given I'm always excited to find new bands to love, I agreed to go, and I'm so glad I did. The Mowgli's are an 8-piece (yes, eight) band from Southern California that are all about having a good time. The show was an album release party for their debut album "Sound the Drum". From beginning to end, the entire venue (myself included) turned into a non-stop dance party. Their music is so contagious and fun, you physically can't stop moving, smiling and singing along. They're a group of close friends who pride themselves on spreading the love and that definitely radiates on stage. I highly suggest you check them out!
I recorded 3 songs from that night, Slowly Slowly , Carry Your Will and We Are Free.
I got to The Roxy in time to see 2 opening acts. One of which was Samuel Larsen, the winner of the Oxygen TV show, The Glee Project. Not having ever seen the show, I didn't know who he was and for the life of me couldn't figure out why there were hoards of screaming girls freaking out over him. Glee aside, he's actually a very talented singer/songwriter. He even covered a Coldplay song (video here).
While I was impressed with Samuel, nothing could have prepared me for the band to follow him. I saw them setting up, not thinking anything other than "please don't suck", which is what I say to myself about any opening band. When they actually started singing, I was talking to a friend, but the second I heard the lead singer's voice, I stopped mid-sentence and gave my undivided attention to what was happening on stage.
Their name is Terraplane Sun, also from Los Angeles, and they sound like the Black Keys had a baby with Cage the Elephant and grew up in the South. The lead singer's voice is refreshingly different, which is what first drew me into them, but the variety of different instruments used (harmonica, mandolin and trombone to name a few) and catchy lyrics with swag are what turned me into a fan. Their song "Get Me Golden" has been featured in a few movies recently such as 21 Jump Street and What to Expect When You're Expecting. You can see the video I recorded of it here.
Now for photos!
