Incredible live band
by SlipperyMike on 2017-05-12REBEL - TorontoOne of those bands that you have to see at least once. They put on a performance that will blow your mind. I will definitely see them again if they are in my area.

About
EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY IN CONCERT:
Post-rockers Explosions in the Sky treat audiences to a blissed-out musical adventure any time they play their stunning instrumentals in concert. The group’s three guitarists gracefully pluck complex melodies and weave in gorgeous harmonies to lift listeners’ moods on each transcendent track. The rhythm section enhances the group’s dynamic focus, running the gamut between subtle orchestral rolls and earth-shaking marches on standout numbers like “Your Hand in Mine”, “Let Me Back In”, and “Disintegration Anxiety”. With their virtuosic musicianship, ambitious songwriting, and electric showmanship, Explosions in the Sky sweeps ticket buyers up and takes them on an impressionistic journey every time they perform.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Austin, TX post-rockers Breaker Morant were inspired to change their name to Explosions in the Sky after watching fireworks erupt overhead following a 1999 gig at a local radio station. Under the new moniker, Michael James (guitar/bass), Munaf Rayani (guitar), Mark Smith (guitar) and Chris Hrasky (drums) got right to work, making their debut the following year with the album How Strange, Innocence. Recognizing the cinematic qualities of the group’s emotionally charged instrumentals, film producer Brian Reitzell reached out to Explosions in the Sky to compose the soundtrack for the 2004 major motion picture Friday Night Lights, which gave the band more mainstream exposure. Over the years the group has become renowned for their impassioned live performances and stirring albums, including 2016’s critically-acclaimed album The Wilderness.

by Anaid on 2017-05-05REBEL - TorontoGiven the type of music, I was hoping for a great atmosphere, but I had not counted on the amazing amounts of energy on stage. All members of the band not only delivered on their sound, but the stage presence never quit. These guys are pros--- bonus points for the seamless transitions between songs.

by Madeilynn on 2017-04-26 Rebel (Formerly known as Sound Academy) - TorontoThis show topped my list of all time favourites. I am still trying to catch my breath and find the words to best describe my experience. You just have to see them because all words fail!
Rating: 4 out of 5 awesome except- no encore??! COME ON
by EmmyC on 2011-10-12Sound Academy - Torontogreat sound, stage presence, starting bands....overall totally great show. but i definitely felt a bit rejected when others and myself included were cheering for an encore and then after five minutes the curtains closed. i know it's nothing personal, and it's really not a big deal, however, it put a slight damper on the end of my night. i guess i am just used to seeing bands really appreciate their fans and give them what they want- more awesomeness! bands dont progress without the fans, and i felt underappreciated as one.

by alexeva on 2011-10-11Métropolis - MontrealAn experience that was so unique. Most inspirational concert, mood was awesome. Never thought I'd be so moved by a performance. Mellowed everyone out, great show!
Rating: 4 out of 5by Fuerth on 2011-10-10Sound Academy - Toronto A decent mix of their old and new. I don't think there was a moment of silence through the whole performance. The last piece was a real show stopper with everyone on the stage giving all they had. One of maybe only 2 bands I've ever seen that didn't do an encore. My only gripe: I wish they had taken the stage before 10 pm after a full work week.

by JoshCan on 2011-10-10Sound Academy - TorontoHey all, Explosions in the Sky played at the Sound Academy on Oct. 7th, 2011. The show was amazing, lighting was fantastic and the sound itself was phenomenal. I love listening to the band and to hear them live, to finally come to Toronto, was awsome. My only complaint is that they did not play as long as I had hoped and did not come on for an encore. But I suppose if a band is good that the concert itself is never long enough. hehe Have a good one everyone, Josh
