Frontier Touring presents… Neon Trees with special guests Doors in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
On Tuesday Melbourne had held host to Avenged Sevenfold; a heavy night of music so It was time for something a bit different. Thursday night at the Prince Ballroom brought on Neon Trees with special guest The Doors playing before them. The Doors started the night out from about 8:00 PM, so the place filled pretty quick with the fans being of ages both males and females. Once they had finished their set, an intermission began giving fans a chance to grab a break and get ready for the headliner, Neon Trees.
Everyone started forming around the stage with Neon Trees coming out and leading the crowd into a sing-along straight away. With the the Prince Ballroom full, the crowd was bouncing away at the full energetic set.
Normally this isn’t the music that I listen to but I really enjoyed it! My foot ended up tapping along with every song that was played. They also played a cover of the old hit song “Maneater” in which I believe that they did a great job of it. I could have thought that the drums were from a rock band, but here is a relatively main stream band, with a drummer just pounding away; I loved it! This 5 person band did a great job getting the whole crowd hyped with the lead singer jumping all around the stage, sometimes nearly in the crowd, as well as playing the keyboard when needed.. They finished up the night 11:30 and overall I believe it was a great night! The gig being a show that anyone could have listened to, regardless if they’re a fan or not, at a venue that fit Neon Trees perfectly.

Being that i absolutely love Neon Trees I was keen to see themlive. however i was also a bit hesitant as i have really liked other bands but have found their live shows not what i had hoped for. Definately not the case here. Hearing Tyler Glenn sing live you really appreciate the talent this guy has. His voice did not waver once during the whole show.Which is an accomplishment on it own considering the amount of energy he puts into his performance. Tylers story telling explaining some of the songs was really a hit with everyone I spoke to after the show.Not forgeting the rest of the band who were also spot on with the music and Elaine Bradley was amazing on drums. I had taken a few friends who loved Animal but werent really fans. Mainly because they just hadnt taken the time to listen to any of their other music. They are all now just like me desperately hoping to hear they will be back again soon.Also made a few friend after the show who were also blown away by the show and are hoping to see them here again. As far as the age of the crowd goes yeah there was a large young crowd but iam a 45yr mum and i definately was not the oldest there. This band really does appeal to all ages and i hope we get to experience alot more of their shows in Melbourne. Another thing that I thought was great is that the guitarist David Charles tried to grab a bite to eat from the 7/11 on the corner and when he was recognised took the time not only to have photos taken but also stayed and just chatted even though his food wouldve been going cold. Definately think anyone who takes the time to see Neon Trees live will not be disappointed.
