Anberlin| Dark Is The Way, Light Is A Place|Concert Review

So I'm a little late on posting this, but between crazy storms and terrible Internet connection it's been hard to post this. I super excited to present these photos to you guys because I was finally able to use my new Canon 7D at a concert, and I'm super happy on the way they turned out. This gonna be a quick review so here it is...


Let's begin


This past Saturday Anberlin played a killer show in Tempe at Marquee Theater. It's not everyday you come across a band that really knows how to put on an entertaining show and play music that truly rocks and has meaning.


Kicking off their set with the first song off their newest album, Dark is the Way, Light is a Place, "We owe this to ourselves" made the sea of fans go crazy and instantly started the rock fists.

Rock on


This being the second time I've seen Anberlin preform, the first being the summer of 2009 when they were opening up for Taking Back Sunday. This time around they had just as much fun on stage and got the crowd to move just as much. The only difference being more lights and lead singer Stephan Christian not keeping his mouth enough towards the microphone. Though Anberlin is definitely not the kinda of band that need flashy lights and smoke to make them better, it did help set the mood. Each band member bring so much energy to the stage that you could have no colorful lights and still enjoy them as performers and musicians.



Anberlin isn't like most bands that come out and just try to show people a good time. They come out and give people good time. Their music is genuine and they preform with a heart of fiery passion and emotion in what they do and sing about.They already have 6 albums, including a "Lost Songs" album that includes demo, acoustic and covers of glorious melodic sounds. If you are a fan of well made music, with meaningful lyrics and melodic vocals, this is a band you must check out.

Before I forget, the opening band Crash Kings and Civil Twilight are just another set of bands you must check out. If you like Kings of Leon, you're going to like Crash Kings and if Muse and Anberlin had a baby you'd have Civil Twilight. I would give more of a review of these bands but maybe in another blog? We'll see. But here are some awesome photos I took of those guys as well.
