It's the twelve of April on a sunny day. Me and my friend just arrived in vienna at the "Arena Wien". We hadn't seen a Wombats concert before and were something you could describe as very excited. The two pre-bands play their songs and already amaze us!
Everyone is ready for The Wombats and as soon as the lights turn off everyone screams. The three guys from the band come on sage and start with their first song "Cheetha Tongue". The songs really pushes the crowd and we start making these little moves everyone makes when you are a bit unsecure but definetly hyped. This reserve doesn't hold very long and as soon as the second song starts a song from an older album really every person is jumping ,dancing.
During the whole set Tord is moving arund the sage completly lost in the music showing that he's made for exactly this job. Murph is killing every high note and low note sings every song as if it's historischen favourite. And even Dan in the back seems to be jumping around on his drumms. Even when something isn't working with Murphs guitar during "Emoticons" these guys are super chill and Tord and Dan calmly play along with the crowd as we keep singing the "Ohhh" part over and over again.
It got better with every song and I swear that the whole crowd felt like they had run a marathon from all the dancing! Especially after " Let's dance to Joy Division" and we all had gone completly crazy!
So in two sentences for the people who don't want to read that long paragraph above and just scrolled down here: It was AMAZING and I recommend to not dress with warm cloths because at least in my venue it was HOT after the first song had started and we all were dancing like crazy! If you are a Wombats fan I'd say you are dumb if you aren't going to a concert even though you have the chance to and that without meaning to be mean!
Read more. Report as inappropriate. I first got into The Wombats after perusing the Top Forty and finding their latest single 'Tokyo Vampires and Wolves quite high on the charts. I was intrigued by the incredible album artwork, and instantly fell in love with their alternative, punky tunes. Three months later, my parents gave me permission to go to my first concert. I instantly thought of my new favourite band, and booked tickets to go with a couple of friends to see The Wombats.
Fastforward to February 22nd I saw them at the O2 Academy Brixton, a large but popular venue that never fails to provide the right atmosphere for a show. The Wombats did not fail to deliver either. They played for over two hours, and all of it was explosive. They played the entirety of 'This Modern Glitch' complete with lasers and confetti as well as their most popular tunes from 'Love, Loss and Desperation', ending with the classic 'Let's Dance to Joy Division. With Murph constantly ordering for another 'wall of death' and Tord crowd-surfing, The Wombats do not disappoint, and most certainly is not a band to miss.
Liverpudlian four piece The Wombats have amassed a huge following of their infectious indie rock over the years after they emerged as a driving force of the indie revival of the mid 00's. Their energetic performance was something that made this group stand out about the rest and the devotion to a live show is still packing out venues years later. Although they only have two albums of material, the boys have crafted a setlist that is utter party.
From the early single 'Kill The Director' an indie anthem in its own right, the crowd dance and jump along as both the band and crowd try and outdo each other with energy levels. What The Wombats have is technical guitar music which you can dance to, a difficult sound to achieve. Closing track 'Tokyo' sees the band play complex instrumental with ferocious intensity yet the track is also so danceable that the crowd is lost within the music.
The Wombats were drop dead amazing!!! I can't even describe in words how much of a fun time I had. Their performance was just super passionate and awesome Totally a band worth watching live.
I loved their energy and how they even interacted with the audience. I felt like the usual two-hour long time frame for a concert wasn't enough for us. Went by way too fast. Now to speak of the venue, it had its ups and downs. The good thing was that it was very clean and well maintained, easy to find, and parking wasn't too bad. The interior was really cool too. Since it was general admission, it was on a first come first serve basis to find spots.
The extremely annoying part was that rude people would squeeze through and stand in people's way, blocking our original view. I think bouncers should keep their eyes out and do something about people like that.
It was super rude and irritating. They've always hyped the crowd up with so many things. Tord for example was basically jumping around playing his guitar all the time and barely stood still - when he stood still it was just to sing into his mic. Between the songs Matthew either told some stories, introduced to the next song in a really interesting and partially comedic way - not just a boring "and the next song we're playing is And now to the most important thing - their performance was straight awesome.
They sounded so much better live than in their records in my opinion. That concert absolutely made my night yesterday and honestly can't wait to see the Wombats live again - hopefully soon. The Wombats are high-energy and tons of fun on stage. The lead singer is passionate and sounds just like the album live. The bassist dances around and keeps the crowd engaged.
The music was perfect, they even had some moments of pure rocking out that were seemingly unscripted and in sync. The crowd was singing and dancing the whole time, you could tell there were plenty of true fans in the audience because there was no song that everyone couldn't sing along to.
Cheerleader even came out after to sign autographs and take pictures, their engagement with the fans is what makes them stand out and a band to keep an eye on. The crowd really gets into it although I have to say that the band, especially Matt, looked a bit tired compared to the last time I saw them. Might be that they're near the end of a US tour? They played both new and older stuff closing the encore with Lets Dance to Joy Division and then an instrumental, almost hardcore piece that seemed a bit out of place for them but was, actually, really good.
The one thing they missed that I wished they had played was My First Wedding. But, I guess that's the luck of the draw. This concert was amazing. By far the best one I have been too. And the venue was incredible. So intimate. It felt like the band was sitting on your lap. The supporting bands were great and they owned the stage with their crazy moves. And the wombats were incredibly they were funny and spoke to the crowd as if we knew eachother. Their stage presence was amazing.
They flaunted their guitar moves around the stage. The lights the animations and the props! They had props. Suddenly baloons flew out on stage and the mosh pit ate them up.
Oh and the finishing song. Suddenly people in wombats costumes strutted in the stage. Excellent sold out show. This is my 3rd Wombats' tour and it was great to see a mix of ages in the crowd and lots of enthusiasm.
It was cool to be singing along with the teenager next to me.
