Cold War Kids Audience Limited Gatefold Heavyweight Vinyl 2LP Set
Overview:
Recorded at The Georgia Theatre in Athens, GA on September 24, 2017, Audience takes its title from a song that appeared on Cold War Kids’ 2010 EP, Behave Yourself. The career-spanning live set also features key songs from each of the band’s six studio albums, including “We Used to Vacation,” “Hang Me Up To Dry” and ‘Hospital Beds” from Cold War Kids’ 2006 debut, Robbers & Cowards, and “Miracle Mile and “Bottled Affection” from 2013’s Dear Miss Lonelyhearts. The band’s most recent releases are represented with “All This Could Be Yours” and the Gold-certified, Alternative Songs chart topper “First” from 2014’s Hold My Home plus “So Tied Up,” and “Restless” and “Can We Hang On?” which originally appeared on LA Divine, the band’s 2017 sixth studio album.
Says front man Nathan Willett, “What makes Cold War Kids special is our live show. The energy that we have on stage every night is what we try to capture in the studio. But in some ways it’s just never gonna be as good as it is on stage when we have an Audience to play for. Many songs -especially from the first few albums - have evolved so much from over 10 years of performing them (over 3,000 shows !?). For me personally - these versions are just so much more raw and emotional. We had hundreds of recordings from live shows. But after playing one night at the Georgia Theater in Athens we decided that the truest way to show who we are is to release this show exactly how it was this one special night. Thanks for coming out. See you in the audience.”
The StarTribune hailed Cold War Kids’ 2017 Twin Cities’ concert as a “must-see show.” Reviewing a sold-out Phoenix show, The Arizona Republic said, “Cold War Kids set the tone for their headlining set with ‘All This Could Be Yours,’ its sense of drama underscored by an arena-worthy light show, following through with an equally dramatic rendition of ‘Miracle Mile.’” Phoenix New Times noted, “Rolling rhythms take charge…You feel them. It’s visceral.” Creative Loafing Tampa observed, “The Southern California indie outfit played a muscular set of sharp rock, and touched all sides of their decade old discography with Willett switching between guitar and piano effortlessly.”
