I discovered Oh Wonder whilst flicking though the music channels a few years ago.
I stopped on the song, but what had me hooked was the music video. It was beautiful and interesting and I felt like I was watching a film that no one had discovered yet. The song was Drive, and it quickly became one of my favourite songs ever.
So when I found out that they were going to be coming to my hometown on their world tour I had to be there no matter what! It was hands down one of the best concerts I have ever been to; it was intimate, alive and real. I was front row and sang along to every word I knew.
They sang so many songs I genuinely lost count. The electronic pop duo danced their hearts out and dripped in sweat from the first note on Josephine's keyboard. They performed Livewire, All We Do, Dazzle and Body Gold to name a few, from their 2015 hit album self titled and brought old and new fans together with High on Humans, Lifetimes and Heavy from their new album Ultralife. They also encored with Drive which made the crowd go wild.
Oh Wonder are my go-to band when I'm sad and need cheering up, when I need some awesome inspiration or when I'm high on life and so happy. They are a band you can play in your room alone, at a cool house party or cruising down the road with the top down in LA.
Give them a listen, you won't regret it.
