Broken Bells' cinematic left-field pop is the result of a meeting of great musical minds -- multi-instrumentalist/producer Danger Mouse and Shins' guitarist/singer James Mercer have pooled their talents to create one of the most strikingly original projects in contemporary indie rock, selling over 400,000 copies of their lushly melancholic 2010 self-titled debut album. In 2013, the duo released "Holding on for Life," the lead single from their 2014 sophomore album After the Disco, which they've been previewing for fans on a series of critically-acclaimed 2013 live concerts. After meeting in 2004 at Denmark's Roskilde Festival, the duo collaborated on the track "Insane Lullaby" before deciding to make their creative partnership more permanent as Broken Bells. Holing up in Danger Mouse's LA home studio in 2008, they recorded "The High Road" and "The Ghost Inside," tracks which would ultimately become singles from their 2010 debut. The album's melodic mix of psychedelic sounds, expanded vocal registers, and live instrumentation won over both critics and fans, reaching No. 1 on iTunes and No. 7 on the Billboard 200. On tour, Broken Bells is backed by a full band, playing sold-out concerts throughout North America and Europe. Mercer's haunting vocals and Danger Mouse's ability to effortlessly move between instruments have been a hit with ticket buyers, building anticipation for the 2014 release of After the Disco.
They really know how to put on a show. Music was amazing and the lead singer has phenomenal talent. Only thing I wished was to hear him talk to the audience more but I'm really not complaining.
What an amazing concert - the sound was very good and the music was outstanding. I was worried that being a small band the sound quality would suffer, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was and even more amazed at the lead singers vocal range in a live performance. I would have given them a 5 out of 5 except it was a relatively short concert at less than 1 1/2 hours including the encore.
Great sound, amazing lighting and effects. They came to play. Bringing Au Revoire Simone back on the stage to back them up for a few songs was an added bonus.
