In 2012, a single titled “Trojans” gained online notoriety overnight and quickly edged its way into alternative radio locality in the United States. The source of the successful first effort was a sibling duo from Adelaide, Australia called Atlas Genius. Once fronting as a rock cover band while they built their recording studio, brothers Keith and Michael Jeffery quickly capitalized on their international recognition with their first EP,Through The Glass,?in June of that year. Their first full-length album,?When It Was Now,?debuted on February 19, 2013 via Warner Bros. Records.
The bands did not disappoint. So much better than I even expected... A MUST see!
Saw Atlas Genius 2 years ago and the show was amazing. Love their first 2 albums. For whatever reason, this show was horrible. There was no energy and they sounded terrible. We left probably half way in because it was so bad. Very disappointed.
I go to 12-16 concerts a year at least. This was one of the best to which I have been. Half the animal started off with music that sucked you in right away. You immediately got into the beat and their energy. Magic giant was off the charts great. They came into the audience and sand acoustic. They were very interactive and their music was great. It is rare to have two openers whose style jives with the headliner. I had been waiting a few years to see Atlas Genius as their bus broke down when we were scheduled to see them before. They were great doing lot so threat songs from their first album and second and introducing new tunes. They even agreees to do photos after the show. So unique. And their tshirts were fantastic and reasonable in price. Love the underground anyway so a great combo
Awesome venue. Great bands. Incredible value. Must Go!!!!!
I was a bit surprised to find it a 3 band show, as I went to see Atlas Genius, knowing Magic Giant would be the back up. A group called Hungry Animals opened and played about 1/2 hour, then they removed their instruments and hardware and Magic Giant took the stage. They played for maybe 40 minutes, then back through stage changes until finally about 10 Atlas Genius came out. They played about an hour, and I did not stick around for any encore, if there was one. The last song I saw was If So. Band was great, but show was not long enough.
Love, love, love Magic Giant. The best live show. If you get a chance to see them in person GO!
First of all, let me say that I wasn't planning on attending this show before receiving a coupon code for $10 tickets. That being said, I am so glad I did! The show started off very strong with Half the Animal, a small group that clearly enjoyed creating and sharing their music. They were energetic and a lot of fun! Next, MAGIC GIANT came on stage, and they did not disappoint! These guys are extremely talented, and they definitely knew how to have a good time. Their music was exciting, and they fed off of the crowd's energy to create quite an electric show, despite the fact that they played banjos, a violin, an acoustic guitar, and an upright bass. It was their first time playing in Detroit, and based on this experience, you can bet on me catching them when they're in town again! After MAGIC GIANT went out with a bang, Atlas Genius absolutely lit up the St. Andrew's basement-venue with a variety of tracks, both old and new. If seeing them open for Andrew McMahon earlier this summer was a small appetizer, this was definitely the main course meal. Not once did they lose pace with the tempo of the night - with every song they played, the crowd yearned for the next song, resulting in one hell of an encore that left you walking out onto the streets of Detroit with a smile on your face and incredible memories stored in your head (and probably your Snapchat)
They are always great no matter the size of the crowd
They performed really well and played 3 covers (tears for fears, the weeknd and drake). I personally love when a few covers are performed because I think it's super fun and shows a bit of versatility. They have a more punk-rock feel than what I had expected but it wasn't a bad thing. Overall, a very fun concert!
They were unbelievable..... I only see good things happening for them and I feel fortunate that I got to see them at a small venue.... Looking forward to their request.
