The Coronas

‘We al know it’s here, we can read the signs, There’s nothin’ left to hear on our one track minds’…were the lyrics that rang out across the auditorium as Danny O’Reilly stood centre stage and sang the opening lines of Out of Our Control a cappella, before the rest of the band launched into the rest of the song, immediately creating a huge and exciting sound. They introduced themselves and Dave McPhillips on lead guitar shouted out to everyone in the crowd ‘join in with us everybody, we wanna hear you singing and see your hands in the air’, to which everyone responded with cheers and joined in with their music.

The Irish indie rock band have an incredible selection of tracks and albums under their belts, and they played an awesome set. They played through Closer to You in it’s entirety, before launching in to their older hits. They even played one song, I can’t remember it’s name now, that’s unreleased and is going to be on an upcoming album that they’re working on. It was awesome to hear something like that in a live setting, it was incredibly special, and completely unexpected.

What a great band! What a great show! The place they played only held about 350 people but we were right up against the stage. They played about 19 songs. Every song was so good. We stayed around for a bit after the show and the band came out, took photos with us and signed their set list for us. We drove from Sacramento on Friday morning, saw them Friday night and drove back to Sacramento Saturday morning. AB-SO-LUTE-LY worth it as their show in SanFrancisco was sold out. Go see this great Irish band. New single We Couldn't Fake That is a killer song and I love the whole of the new album Trust The Wire. If you get a chance to see them, don't miss this band!!

My review for Coronas 21/02/15;

I really enjoyed myself, attended the concert alone, the crowd was electric, but I knew from a previous concert in the Arena Dec' '12; that I wouldn't be disappointed. I was still blown away, completely different from the other gig, I will be seeing them again. Outstanding performance by Danny and the boys...I like their dancing too. Be seeing you again. Look forward to another album in a couple years. The best concert so far!

Mary.

Spectacular show!! Very intimate and it felt like Danny was singing to each and every one of us. It doesnt matter if there are hundreds there or thousands, they put on a brilliant performance. Got the meet the lads afterwards too, so friendly and never rushing anyone. I Cant recommend them enough.

Definitely my favorite band ever.
They are great musicians, outstanding entertainers and adorable lads at the same time.
Their music is simply amazing.
Who could ever ask for more?!?
Absolutely not to be missed!!!

Best money I have ever spent. The Coronas are absolutely incredible live! We were treated to a tiny venue too which made the show even better. Can't recommend highly enough.
