The Midnight Beast

The Midnight Beast Live Review (O2 Academy, Glasgow)
We were lucky enough to be put on The Midnight Beast's guestlist for their show in Glasgow.
I've never been to a more fun gig in my life. 
These guys are true entertainers and have so much energy. 
A fantastic live act!
After releasing their famous parody of Ke$ha's 'Tik Tok' in 2009 these guys have continued to make us laugh through both their music and recent TV series. Knowing what these guys were like from watching the show and listening to their music, I was eager to see what kind of live show they'd put on. And I wasn't disappointed.

With Glasgow support act 'Unicorn Kid' on stage, it was clear the crowd were getting hyped. Keeping the attention of the crowd can be difficult for a one man act, but Unicorn Kid didn't have any trouble at all. He had everyone dancing and created a great atmosphere. This crowd were definitely ready for The Midnight Beast.

With everyone in a dancing mood, The Midnight Beast boys took the stage in what appeared to be beach outfits and went straight into 'I kicked a shark in the face'. There were people in giant shark costumes taking over the stage, it was hilarious. After kicking off with one of my personal favorites they then went on to perform a bunch of songs including 'Quirky' and 'Begging'. The guys then performed 'Ninjas' and took the stage with toy swords, which were quickly snatched up by the fans at the front. 'Life is a Musical' was my favorite performance of the night, it was very High School Musical and just gave me that feel good feeling. There were jocks everywhere and lots of harmony's here an there, it was like being in an actual musical. With the night coming to an end and everyone sweating all over the shop, the guys performed 'Wands', 'Tik Tok' and finished up with 'Booty Call'. 'Booty Call' was such high energy, it was so much fun to watch, there was thrusting absolutely everywhere. not even kidding. Using Stefan's bum as a drum was a highlight for me during the song. It was so much fun!

This was truly a night to remember, one of the most high energy, dance-y and just plain fun gigs I've ever been to in my life. I would definitely go and see these entertainers again in a heartbeat.
