We caught up with Tonight Alive when they played at the King Tut’s in Glasgow during their UK
You can watch our Tonight Alive interview here
After our interview we stayed for the show, and we had a fantastic night. The King Tut’s venue is one of Glasgow
As the venue began to fill Blitz Kids took to the stage and started the night with a very high energy set, next up were Lost Alone and by the time they took the stage the crowd were warmed up and ready to party and party is what they done during this set. Lost Alone left the stage and the energy in the room was electric.
As the lights went down the crowd began to chant “Ozzy ozzy ozzy, oi oi oi” they continued for a few minutes and then the Australian punk-rockers took to the stage kicking off their set with ‘Eject, Eject, Eject!’ from their latest alubm What Are You So Scared Of?. The band then went on to play both new songs as well as older ones.
The King Tut’s was filled all the way to the back of the room and the entire crowd was singing along and jumping up and down during songs such as ‘Breaking&Entering’, ‘Starlight’ and ‘Let It Land’. Tonight Alive also played two cover songs – ‘In My Eyes’ by Rufio and ‘Little Lion Man’ by Mumford & Sons and the crowd absolutely love them. They then went on to play ‘Ameila’ an extremely emotional song about a friend of the bands that sadly passed, the crowd went silent for the verses and then helping Jenna out a little with the vocals during the chorus. By the end of the song not only had Jenna shed a tear but quite a few members of the audience were a little teary eyed.
Tonight then brought the mood back up by playing ‘What Are You So Scared Of?’ and ‘Listening’ and once again they had every single person in the crowd jumping and singing along before they left the stage. However this wouldn’t be the last we would see of Tonight Alive. Once again the crowd began chanting “Ozzy ozzy ozzy, oi oi oi”, after a minute of chanting Jenna bounced on to the stage by herself to join in the chant and have a little chat with the crowd before she was joined by the rest of her band mates, they ended the night on a high by playing ‘Wasting Away’ the crowd were going crazy and by the end of the song no one wanted them to leave everyone wanted more.
It’s clear to see that Glasgow have much love for Tonight Alive and you can see the band feeding off of the crowds energy, totally loving every minute they were on stage.
Tonight Alive are a band that I have been listening to for a couple of years now and I really enjoy their music. This was the first time have seen them play love and before the gig began I was expecting a high energy show and that was exactly what I got. I recommend that if you haven’t heard of Tonight Alive you give them a listen chances are you’ll fall in love with them.
