Why see Kaleo?
Blues Rock Straight Outta Iceland
Icelandic blues rockers Kaleo formed in Reykjavik when the band members were just 17 years old, choosing to immigrate to the states after signing to Atlantic records in 2015. Inspired by their new home base of Austin, Texas, the folkrock quartet infuse the gritty sounds of Americana with a driving indie-pop aesthetic. Don't miss them when they bring their Grammy nominated music to a city near you!
In the tradition of the Black Keys and Jack White, Kaleo fuel their bluesy angst with driving, pounding drums and fiery guitar licks, anchored by emotive piano chords. The outfit is known for their slow-burning anthems that devolve into raucous, epic endings that whip their audiences into an all-singing, all-dancing frenzy.

I just noticed that the under 30 crowd doesn't like rock anymore
That is sad. Our whole culture was turned upside down because of rock and now rock seems to be the provence of oldsters (actually mid-thirties). But this was one goddamn rocking concert. One of the best I've ever seen. In Portland, only the Foals and Barns Courtney came close. Everyone was up and roaring for 90 minutes. What a sense of community! You won't find that that feeling of comradery (blue, red, old, young ad infinitum) in balladeers singing about their lost loves. No one sat down for the whole concert! It was like seeing the Talking Heads at the Paramount in 1978. Kaleo TORE the house down. ... Read more

This has to be the best band in years. Julius has the best rock/ blues voice.
They put on a magnificent show. Loved every second of it.
Watch out folks this band will compete with any of the greats.

Absolutely rocked - enjoyed every minute of it! Opening band Bone Owens was a happy surprise - loved them! Was my first time at this facility - they will be seeing more of me! Small enough for an intimate feel but large enough to rock out! ... Read more
