Now Playing: Madi Don't Leave by PlayRadioPlay!
Now we all have those bands that we only know a few top songs by, but we like them all the same, aye? Well for me, The Temper Trap was one of those bands that I knew was insanely talented but I never really delved deeply into their music for some reason. I was, however, able to see them at Bonnaroo, and jumped at the chance, as I knew they were amazing and wanted to see them live, just to see if maybe I'd get hooked, and boy did I.
There were tons of people at this one (as you can tell, I wasn't that close to the stage for all the people!) but at least they had a stage with a big screen as well! The music in its own was very powerful. Of course songs like Sweet Disposition and Need Your Love had tons of people singing along, very intense, and in unison, something that few artists have the ability to have such a large fan base do at a festival, but what stood out in particular was "Trembling Hands," one of their most intense pieces, the fans putting their hands up in the air, losing themselves in away as you would hear Dougy Mandagi, lead singer, croon out "Throw me a line, somebody out there help me, I'm on my own."
With powerful vocals, and so much expression of everyone on stage, the crowd felt their music in a way that many bands cannot exactly move their audience. His vocals were very on point, and the instrumentalists were beyond gifted in their own right. Very few artists get the ability to be known as a group that sounds as good live as they do on the digitally mastered records, but Temper Trap definitely delivers a solid, clear, and beautiful sound whether you are under a pair of headphones or in a crowd of thousands.
