Going to keep this short.
Holy fuck Young Love put on a (surprisingly) good show.
I was expecting to be a little disappointed, honestly. I often find myself enjoying a highly produced CD, checking out the group live, and leave realizing it was all the producer and none of the band. Last night, however, was far from that case.
Adding in a good bit of reverb, a little distortion, and a kick ass live drummer, Young Love transformed from a pop-synth cd to a dirty, dancy melodic journey. “Find a New Way” was turned into an 8 minute long epic - extra guitar and echo filling in the gaps, “Underneath the Night Sky” drew screams of approval and found me, eyes closed, in a far away place, and even “Closer to You” (mediocre on the album) had smiling and swaying along in approval.
Overall, way more impressed than I expected; Young Love the band is thumbs up in my book.
