I started listening to Morning Parade and I wanted to see them. Earlier this year, they played the Echo and Troubadour with Walk The Moon, who I'm not that familiar with, but unfortunately, both shows were sold out. I was kind of bummed but was happy when they were added to the bill at this year's Culture Collide Festival. After the outdoors block party ended, it was pretty trying to get back into Taix. Morning Parade was scheduled to play the Front Lounge, which there was a line to get into due to capacity issues. I finally got inside and was crammed in there. While waiting for the band to end, I checked my twitter and found out that Morning Parade had moved to the Champagne Room. There was no official announcement made, so I'm not sure how else I would've found out. Thank goodness I checked my twitter when I did or else I would've missed them! We hurriedly rushed out and into the Champagne Room. Morning Parade played such an awesome set. You could seriously feel the energy. The crowd can really tell if you're giving it your all or just running through it. Morning Parade really put on a great set, the crowd loved it. They were also on my list of must-see bands from this festival, and they did not disappoint.
I was able to shoot some video because I wanted to capture their energy and awesome live performance. I really tried to do a good job, but sorry for the shaky shots, I couldn't stop myself from dancing. Haha...
