The Sounds Dance with Webster Hall Attendees

Friday evening Swedish Indie rockers The Sounds got the crowd dancing it up at Webster Hall during their first national tour in two years. The sold out show got an early start with opening acts The Limousines, Kids At The Bar (DJed between sets) and Natalia Kills.

The Sounds took the stage around 9:00pm and had the crowd bouncing as they performed “Dance With The Devil” off their latest album “Something To Die For.” They performed “Better Off Dead” and other enticing cuts from past releases.

There’s something electric and infectious about this band from the moment they take the stage to the time they play their first note the crowd is hanging on to every word and note; pushing up against the stage and dancing to each beat. Something guitarist and songwriter Felix Rodriguez attributes to, “everything going like [they] wanted it to so [they’re] having a lot of fun” and it shows.

When we sat down with Felix prior to the performance he revealed, “American crowds are more open-minded.” Stating, “Here there’s a lot of people that may not know a band but have heard of the band and want to check it out… you want to go out and discover a band by yourself. In Sweden…you go to a show if you really know about a band and if you feel like it. [In America] there’s a way better live culture.”
