Marianas Trench in Concert
Multi-Platinum selling progressive pop band Marianas Trench has been big news in Canada for years, and they caught on with US audiences in a major way following their acclaimed 2015 album Astoria, a slick collection of larger-than-life pop masterpieces that showcased their playful lyrical sensibility and knack for anthemic choruses. In concert, Marianas Trench is a whirlwind of emotion and attitude, rocking the stage with adrenaline-filled performances that put their tight musicianship front and center. Frontman Josh Ramsay is a born performer, and his energy is completely infectious as he sings his heart out on upbeat jams like "This Means War" and "Celebrity Status." The rest of the band keeps pace with lively performances that always leave fans thoroughly rocked and ready for more.
Marianas Trench Background
Marianas Trench was formed in Vancouver in 2001 by Josh Ramsay, a singer-songwriter and guitarist who previously fronted the group Ramsay Fiction. He joined forces with Matt Webb (lead guitar), Mike Ayley (bass), and Ian Casselman (drums), and Marianas Trench made their debut in 2002 with a self-titled EP. In 2006, the band released their full-length debut album Fix Me on 604 Records, which they supported with extensive touring across Canada. The album went gold in Canada, but its success paled in comparison to the band's 2009 sophomore LP Masterpiece Theatre, a Top 5 hit on the Canadian Albums Chart that established them as pop royalty virtually overnight. Their third album Ever After was equally well-received, cracking the Top 10 and earning a prestigious Juno Award nomination for Album of the Year, and earning the band the title of Juno Award winners for Group of the Year in 2013. Their fourth album Astoria earned them a 2016 Juno nomination for Group of the Year and unleashed the power ballad Who Do You Love. It also opened up Marianas Trench to the European market where the band toured twice in support of Astoria. Currently in the studio, Marianas Trench is hard at work putting the finishing touches on their 5th album set for release in early 2019.
Marianas Trench was energetic and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Their harmonies were smooth and Josh's can really belt it out. We could not sit still. Highly recommended!
The night started off with the AWESOME group Anami Vice!They were great! I had never heard of them and am very glad we didnt skip out on the opening act. They were fun and very energetic and got the crowd pumped up for Marianas Trench. Next came Down with Webster. I am not really a big fan of them but my oldest daughter fell in love with them and she didnt even want to come to the concert. Marianas Trench was by far the BEST concert I have ever been to.The entrance that Josh made was spectacular! The outfits, videos... awesome! The only time I was not liking the concert is when someone punched Josh in the face when he was singing in the audience! All in all Myself and my daughters 16 & 15 had a great time! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!
Marianas Trench was amazing to see live. Josh, Matt, Mike and Ian put on a fantastic show. I was, and am, soo happy that I got to see them!!! I will definitely go see them again next time they come to Winnipeg :)
Marianas Trench put on a fantastic show! I would see them again! DWW was awesome too I wish their set was longer!
The opening bands were awesome, didn't know anami vice but I liked some of the lyrics, over all anami vice was good, DWW was great! And Marianas Trench was amazing!!! Ramsey interacted with the croud, ran throug it. I think if he had his way he would want to meet everyone of us. I really feared for his safety as the girls flocked and he couldn't move... Been to 3 of their concerts, next time I'm getting backstage passes!
It was very good. I loved the lead singer going off into the crowd. I bet security hated it. It was a very good concert. I love when the bands Thank the people for were they are now.
Overall the concert was amazing. Except for the fact that during the last song, Josh's mic was not turned on therefore we couldn't hear him. Security were rather rude
What great harmonies! Great showmen! Too bad josh's mike wasn't on! Also, could have done withouth the cheezy video.. But overall had fun!
This was by far the best concert... the only think is i was bummed cuz i waiting with my girls for an autograph.. but it as to late...lol but AMAZING CONCERT GUYS... NOW HURRY BACK
The New Cities was dull and boring and I wasn't pumped in the least. Then Josh Ramsay came out and Marianas Trench put on the most incredible show ever! I wish I could go back.
Such an amazing concert with crazy effects and so much energy. They are perfect live. It was by far the best concert I have ever been to.
Awesome show, very high energy, would definately see them again at this venue!!
The event was too short due to Marianna's trench set list because they did not play all the songs they could of played at this tour.
I was so happy that they decided to do and show by themselves and they were amazing!
All 3 acts were amazing! Definite crowd pleasers! Exceeded our expectations!
I was pleasantly surprised with Marianas Trench. I knew I would know all their songs and enjoy the show but I was blown away by the showmanship and the true entertainment value of this band. They were great crowd pleasers, really interacting with the audience and especially when Josh ran into the audience and crowd surfed. I always thought that Josh had a good voice but did not realize the extent of his talent until I experienced it live. He has the real appeal doing the rock numbers but also singing the tender ballads. His wardrobe changes and his stage antics reminded me of a younger Steve Tyler. I love the video throughout the concert and the concept of the "Every After" CD telling a complete story is reminiscent of Queens rock operas and Meatloaf 's "Bat out of Hell" Excellent show I would definitely see them again.
Down with Webster throws and AMAZING show! It was great to see them and their interactions with the crowd was great! Marianas Trench took the cake with their onstage show, and Josh Ramsey is an amazing singer! Love both bands and all the members in them:)
Marianas trench was awesome, My Daughter and I had a great time and would love to see them again.
D.W.W totally energized.... got the crowd jumping ! Marianas Trench was stellar ! i have never seen a front man engage the crowd and get them totally electric...Josh Ramsay is a true entertainer.
Had a blast.. Definately will see again! Put on an excellent show. Well worth the money
