EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY IN CONCERT:
?
Post-rockers Explosions in the Sky treat audiences to a blissed-out musical adventure any time they play their stunning instrumentals in concert. The group’s three guitarists gracefully pluck complex melodies and weave in gorgeous harmonies to lift listeners’ moods on each transcendent track. The rhythm section enhances the group’s dynamic focus, running the gamut between subtle orchestral rolls and earth-shaking marches on standout numbers like “Your Hand in Mine”, “Let Me Back In”, and “Disintegration Anxiety”. With their virtuosic musicianship, ambitious songwriting, and electric showmanship, Explosions in the Sky sweeps ticket buyers up and takes them on an impressionistic journey every time they perform.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Austin, TX post-rockers Breaker Morant were inspired to change their name to Explosions in the Sky after watching fireworks erupt overhead following a 1999 gig at a local radio station. Under the new moniker, Michael James (guitar/bass), Munaf Rayani (guitar), Mark Smith (guitar) and Chris Hrasky (drums) got right to work, making their debut the following year with the album How Strange, Innocence. Recognizing the cinematic qualities of the group’s emotionally charged instrumentals, film producer Brian Reitzell reached out to Explosions in the Sky to compose the soundtrack for the 2004 major motion picture Friday Night Lights, which gave the band more mainstream exposure. Over the years the group has become renowned for their impassioned live performances and stirring albums, including 2016’s critically-acclaimed album The Wilderness.
Great concert. Seeing the music live was a whole other experience compared to hearing it recorded. Would love to see them again one day. The Orpheum was the perfect venue for this artist as well.
The concert was great. Good sound quality, good lighting in a beautiful theatre. No complaints at all.
I hadn't heard of nor listened to the band. Went into it blindly. I cannot express the emotional hold the band had on me throughout the whole concert. I didn't pick up my phone once. I cannot explain it, you just have to go watch them live to feel it. Just buy the damn ticket you won't regret it.
Not only was this the best concert I've ever been to but it was one of the most beautiful moments of my life. Staff brought myself and another guest from second balcony to second row on the floor to see explosions in the sky. It felt as the choosing of myself and the other guest was intentional and strategic. Not in any kind of analytical sense but purely based on a feeling, knowing we would truly appreciate the selection and take the experience in our journeys for a lifetime. Explosions in the sky has been one of my favourite bands since just a young teenager, now as a 32 year old women it was an absolute honor to see them perform in person. They're raw emotion and passion for their work is inspiring and they depicted that effortlessly through their performance. Tears ran down my cheeks both through the show and long after. Thank you for your talent, your creativity, your passion, and your vulnerability explosions in the sky. And thank you to the beautiful venue I will always be in awe of as well as the staff who gifted myself and the other guest with an experience we will never forget.
The title says it all. I never thought I'd have the opportunity to see these guys perform live, yet somehow they came here and absolutely delivered. They played a phenomenal set of almost all of my favourite songs. Here's hoping they come back in the future!
Love the show ?????? Amazing show and the people at he venue we're so nice & helpful!!
Explosions in the sky, un show intense, vibrant et percutant!!
Too young to see Pink Floyd live. Juste the right age to discover this awesome band!
This was the second time I have been to an Explosions in the Sky show. This time was better. They played some of the hits and a lot of their new album. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and was impressed by the arrangement. They picked the songs that would work best in a live format. If they ever did smaller venue with the more chill songs I would be there in a heartbeat. If you are an EitS fan I cannot recommend seeing them live enough.
I’ve followed this band for a long time and the live show at the Wiltern was outstanding.
