I have never seen a band have more genuine fun that what I saw onstage at Headliner's last night. I do not know if it was the fact that they were home or they were playing to a sold out crowd but there was magic in the air last night at the Houndmouth show. (Not to mention they covered "This Magic Moment.")
Almost every member played every instrument and all of them were all smiles and sometimes all dancing. From the crowd roaring "Krampus" to a the gang vocals of "Penitentiary" and a closing cover of "I Shall Be Released," Houndmouth was pumping out a wall of sound with every tune.
From the balcony at Headliner's I saw a sold out crowd so energetic, so entranced in what they will now claim as their own. Yeah sorry New Albany, Louisville is probably going to take it from here. Trade ya Jennifer Lawrence?
The stage was reminiscent of the original Thanksgiving concert feast a la The Last Waltz with a tapestry depicting their album cover and a chandelier hanging the middle of the stage, but by the end of the show everyone on stage had ripped it to shreds. They left everything out there and hey they will do it tonight too to another sold out crowd. Daniel Martin Moore and Howell Dawdy open tonight.
You're lucky if you got a ticket this weekend. Houndmouth isn't going anywhere. Anywhere but up that is.
