Backed by a great stage display and full band, Adam Young, AKA Owl City, brought his synth-pop electronic sound to the Ogden Theatre in Denver, CO on October 3rd. The show is in support of his latest album, The Midsummer Station that was just released in August. Owl City opened with "Dreams and Disasters" and actually played most, if not the entire new album during the show. It was surprising, as most acts these days only touch three to four songs promoting a new album and play material the audience is more familiar with. The set list was enjoyable this time around and it was great to hear the new songs performed live. The performance was fantastic but the visuals that Young and his band brought on stage were visually stunning. I thought the concept of the stage design, based on the rustic underwater illustration from The Midsummer's Station cover tied in nicely with the music and the atmosphere. Give Young credit, he puts on a fantastic show. My favorite moment of the night was whenever he was on the guitar. He plays and performs really well and it’s somewhat surprising considering most of his studio albums are electronic. Because of Young’s demographic there was no shortage of sing along moments for all of the girls as the song, “Angels” was a big moment and of course “Fireflies" was too. Owl City closed out the show by playing Young’s latest hit single, "Good Time." The recording features Carly Rae Jepsen singing along with Adam, but on this tour the accompanying vocals were handled live vocals by keyboardist Breanne Düren. Overall it was a good show at The Ogden, Owl City was fantastic and Matthew Koma was great opening up the show as well. There are only a few more chances to see Owl City live during this tour, it’ll wrap up October 7th in Detroit. After that show Young and his backing band will be performing overseas in Europe, Asia, and Australia before the year is up. Want to write a show review? Email Ryan@alternativeaddiction.com
