It’s the middle of the week. Have you felt bored this week? Is work dragging you down?
I’ve got the perfect middle of the week pick-me up. Tonight, live at the Rogers Centre, is The National. The National is a band formed in 1999, in Cincinnati Ohio. The band consists of 5 members and has an alternative / post-punk rock style.
I can’t say that personally I had heard much of their music before, but I have been listening to them the whole time while writing this article, and must say that I have been nodding my head along to each and every song. If you have never checked them out, I highly recommend giving them a listen on Spotify or Apple Music or however you listen to music. I’m sure you will find the soundtrack to your next “chill vibe”.
Now joining The National tonight, is a band who I think will complement them wonderfully. The War On Drugs, is a band formed in 2005, and has a bit more of an upbeat sound, which will sound wonderful live. These guys have won a GRAMMY so I mean you know they are more than “qualified” to be on that stage tonight. They won Best Rock Album at the 60th Annual GRAMMY Awards.
Their single Red Eyes has more than 157 million plays on Spotify alone, and is an absolute great song. Give it a listen if you have never heard it.
These two bands alone would be enough to rock all night long, but the fun does not just stop there. One more special guest will be joining The National and The War on Drugs on stage tonight.
Lucius will be the third special guest of the night! The band is made up of Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, on lead vocals, with Dan Molad on drums, and Peter Lalish on guitar. Lucius was officially formed in 2005 and has been rocking stages ever since. They have been described by Rolling Stone as “the best band you may not have heard yet.”
They even have a song with The War on Drugs, so you can be sure that the chemistry will be flowing tonight. I anticipate that tonights concert at The Rogers Centre will be a show that you do not want to miss. Each band will complement each other perfectly and this will be a concert for the ages.
Tickets start at only $85 and that seems like a steal to watch three epic bands rock the stage. Doors open at 6:30, so act fast and secure your ticket because this is just the thing to set your week back on the right track!
