Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness | Anaheim
Seeing Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness live is like being transported into space. The dim lights and fog (not to mention the astronaut helmet that popped up throughout the show) go hand in hand with McMahon's dreamy piano ballads that allude to outer space. Playing songs from both of his full-length records, and surprising Jack's Mannequin fans with "Dark Blue," the show was everything I could imagine and more.

Night Riots | Anaheim
Night Riots are dark, gloomy, and mysterious, making their live shows all the more captivating. Playing mainly new songs from their latest album, "Love Gloom," the band had the essence of the record down to a tee. From light-up drumsticks to jumping into the crowd, it's clear that Night Riots always have something up their sleeve, and it'll be unlike anything you've seen before.

Atlas Genius | Anaheim
It’s a typical Monday night, but there’s nothing typical about Atlas Genius’ performance at the House of Blues. Having their performance sandwiched between Night Riots’ preceding set, with Andrew McMahon to follow, the Australian rock band added to the energy of an excited, sold-out crowd.
Kicking off the night with songs from their latest record, “Inanimate Objects,” and following with fan favorites along the likes of “If So,” “Molecules,” and Trojans,” Atlas Genius got everyone on their feet and singing along. Donning a blue electric guitar and having blue stage lights to match, lead singer Keith Jeffery created quite the commotion and even jumped down from the stage at one point of their performance.
Every concert-goer was either holding a drink and singing along, or recording the set through their phones. It could just be the bright lights and crystal clear guitar parts, but it was obvious that Atlas Genius had the crowd captivated.

Moose Blood | Pomona
UK-based rock band Moose Blood graced the stage in Pomona, Calif. for the first show of their U.S. headlining tour. Their sound is literally a perfect mix of the bands they allude to in their songs (Brand New and Nirvana, hell yes.), and punk pop. A Moose Blood song is totally unmistakable, and live, they're even better.
