This show was seriously the greatest I've ever been to. Openers (morning parade) were awesome and so were the Wombats themselves.

Morning Parade gained a new fan that night. They were fantastic live. They didn't get a huge reception from the crowd, but people were cheering and clapping along, etc.

The Wombats then came out and did their set (fantastically). Banter between the band was great, Murph sounded phenomenal, people were crowd surfing, and the guys reached out into the crowd when they were done. It was pretty awesome.

Few little problems: I didn't get a fast pass ticket, so naturally I got to the venue an hour early. (And I got to see Murph walking into the venue for the sound check!) I was surprised to see there was already a sizable line, but once we got into the venue I still managed to get right behind the people in front of the gate. My problem was that the people in the front didn't move.... at all. I think they might've swayed during Jump into the Fog, but that was seriously it. In hindsight, it was great because with them not moving I had a great view between their shoulders, but at the time it was annoying. Another little problem was the wait. After waiting an hour in line to get in, the let us into the venue at around 6:45. Show was set to start at 7. Openers didn't go on till 8 and there was a good 20 minutes break between them and the Wombats. Granted, it was totally worth the wait... but still.

tl;dr - Wombats and Morning Parade are fantastic live.

Fantastic show at a fantastic venue. The Wombats took the stage and simply never stopped. Lots of energy and lots of amazing music from this 3 man band. I was near the back of the club and was less than 30 feet from the stage. I have seen hundreds of bands live and this show jumped easily into my top 10!

The Wombats played an awesome show; I only knew a few of their songs going into it, but I had an amazing time! They just had so much energy and were having a lot of fun, and the venue was small and nice, allowing them to really engage the fans. Everyone I went with agreed, this show was unforgettable!

I hadn't listened to much of Morning Parade before, but they put on a really great show. Then the Wombats came on and it was absolutely fantastic, it was the end of their tour so they were all really pumped up. At the end, the lead singer of the wombats told everybody to get crazy, a mosh pit happened, and the other band came out dressed up as superheroes

The Wombats sounded great and had amazing energy! It was a fantastic show in a great venue. Morning Parade was equally great as the opening band, and they made it a lot of fun when they took the stage in costume at the end of the night.

I haven't been to too many concerts but this one was by far the most energetic I've ever experienced. Not only were the songs memorable, the crowd-artist chemistry was amazing. I think this was aided by the intimacy of the venue, but I think that anywhere, the style of both bands would lend themselves to creating a completely worthwhile experience.

British bands, hands down, put on the most entertaining shows! It was clear from the get-go that both Morning Parade and The Wombats were great friends and knew how to have fun together. Rarely do I get to go to a concert where I love all the bands performing this much. I enjoyed every minute. Thanks for coming to Boston!!

The Wombats were amazing! They were so energetic and you could tell that they were just having a good time. Murph and Dan were cracking jokes between songs and having fun with the crowd and Tord was just all over the stage jumping around and having fun during the songs. It was great. As for the opening acts, Morning Parade and The Royal Concept, they were awesome! I liked The Royal Concept a bit more than Morning Parade, but props to MP because they were an incredibly nice group of guys and their music wasn't bad.

The show was awesome. Morning Parade really put on a really good show and got the crowd warmed up. The Wombats were brilliant. They showed tons of energy, cracked a few jokes during the show, and sounded better with every song. It definitely makes the show more entertaining when the guys on stage look like they are having as good a time as you are, and you can tell those guys love to play music as much as I enjoyed listening to it. I would definitely (and plan on) seeing The Wombats again if they ever come back to Columbus.

This was the second Wombats concert I've been to and I really don't know how to describe it other than UNFORGETABLE.
It's not just that Murph (and Tord and Dan) are amazing live, they might actually better live than on their recordings, but the feel of a Wombats concert is like nothin I've ever experienced before. Mosh pits have started during both shows I've been to (both in Columbus) which shouldn't really happen at an indie rock concert but does anyway. There's just so much energy behind all their songs and in every person jam packed into that venue waiting to see this amazing trio. You may have to get through a few opening acts (which are usually good so don't close your mind) And a bit of a wait for the sound check, but it is all SO worth it! Murph is so interactive with the crowd and Tord bounces around the stage like a little ball of bass-playing energy. If you're looking for a real show with a band that has real talent, look no further than the Wombats!

For only knowing of them for about a month, and having their CD This Modern Glitch for 3 weeks I love this band. Tokyo needs to more play everywhere! They really got the crowd in a fervor with their act! I am not afraid to admit that being a 40 something, their music reminds me of the great alt bands of the 80s!

My wife knew nothing of them before the show and she loved them as well!
Keep it up Lads!

Fine Line Cafe was a nice, small venue. Allowed for a close-up feel, while at the same time letting a good number of attendees. The Wombats were fantastic live, and I danced the whole time! They also had 2 great openers.

I'm gonna be honest here, as much as I love The Wombats, they aren't my favorite band. Nevertheless, I'd say that this was the best concert I've ever been to, I even feel like it was better than the concert I've seen of my favorite band. The energy was amazing, the stage banter was incredible, the sound quality was great, and they really knew how to control the crowd. Not only did they play nearly every song off of This Modern Glitch, but they also played a good selection of songs from Guide to Love, Loss, and Desperation.

Last Wednesday night was possibly one of the best nights of my life. Not only did the Wombats do a phenomenal job during the actual concert, but I got to meet them beforehand. I love that these three Liverpultians are comfortable just walking outside and meeting fans. As for the show itself, I was in the front row and had a blast! The Wombats were even better live than they are recorded, and that's saying something. The overall energy for this show was really high, and I think everyone had a lovely time!
