The first time I heard "Shut Up and Dance With Me" was in an event I attended at a 5-Star hotel, it reminded me of Talking Heads, David Bowie's, and Prince. It got the 80s vibe and feel to it. Yes, Im an 80s baby (cringe, I am old) and belong to the era of New Wave, Hard Core and Alternative music. That was the year of feel good music, colored tops, polos, spraynet and fashion experimentation to say the least. It was nostalgic. When I received an invitation for the Walk the Moon presscon, I immediately confirmed my attendance and excited to get a glimpse of this fast rising New wave band.
Bringing you the best shopping experiences and also fulfilling your concert dreams, the Ayala Malls urge you to get ready and get set for indie rock band Walk The Moon, as they invade an Ayala Mall near you with a series of live performances.
The Cincinatti-based art-rock quartet featuring lead singer and keyboardist Nicholas Petricca, bassist Kevin Ray, drummer Sean Waugaman, and guitarist Eli Maiman began luring fans with their infectious beats through their 2012 single Anna Sun and have since then been unstoppable. A relentless touring machine, Walk The Moon had graduated to performing alongside artists and bands such as fun., Pink, Panic! At The Disco on world-class stages of Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo.
Their latest album, Talking Is Hard, was an artistic product from six weeks of marathon writing, which they started from scratch, something entirely new to the band. Kevin Ray shares, “We’d never had an opportunity like this before. We were able to live and work in a really creative space - just the four of us.” What ensued was two solid months of recording in North Hollywood where the members were eager to put out a masterpiece. It was so intense that they began one track at 6pm on the last day of recording and were determined to finish so much that, according to Maiman, they didn’t leave the studio until the sun came up. The band bore their hearts out with a fearless, quirky sound unlike anything they’ve done before.
Walk The Moon takes along their authentic touring style, an interactive celebration of life and love, with them as they perform in Manila for the first time ever. Don’t miss them as they perform their top single and pop rock anthem “Shut Up And Dance” along with other catchy tunes like “Work This Body”, “Down In The Dumps”, and “Aquaman”. Catch them on the following dates: August 18, 6PM at Alabang Town Center, August 19, 5PM at UP Town Center, and 7:30PM at TriNoma, August 20, 5PM at Market! Market! and 7:30PM at Glorietta Activity Center.
