Keep Together

I spent last night at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ for the Twenty One Pilots (AKA twenty one pilots) concert.

There were two opening acts:  Hunter Hunted and NONONO.  Today I'll be talking about the first act, Hunter Hunted, tomorrow's post will be about NONONO, and on Saturday, I'll end this little series by talking about twenty one pilots.

Hunter Hunted is a 2012 indie pop band from Los Angeles and consists of Michael Garner (keys and vocals) and Dan Chang (guitar and vocals).  I had never heard of them until I got the tickets for the concert, but I'm glad I now know who they are because they are awesome!  Sometimes artists have trouble performing at a small venue because it's so intimate, but they were so interactive and energetic, so they fit the atmosphere perfectly.

My favorite song of theirs would have to be "Keep Together."  They performed songs off their self-titled EP and gave us a sneak peek of their upcoming album which they are in the midst of recording.  The group also did a cover of the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?" which was also pretty great.

Their EP is available on iTunes and includes five tracks:
  1. Operating
  2. Keep Together
  3. End of the World
  4. Dora Maar
  5. Gentle Folks
They're very talented musicians and their songs sound perfect from start to finish.  I also enjoyed the drummer.....Below is are a picture and video I took.
