The New Politics - Asbury Park, NJ 5/15/2010 Review

I don't know if I would've actually listened to The New Politics if it wasn't for this concert. They are a band from Denmark to begin with, who moved to Brooklyn not to long ago and they are touring the US already! I have to say that's pretty impressive. Before every concert I like to make sure I know who's playing, that way I'm a little familiar with at least one of their songs. This was the case for The New Politics, I had never heard of them but I soon as I heard their hit single Yeah Yeah Yeah I could not get it out of my head! This is really rare, at least it is for me. Really nice guys, funny and extremely entertaining! David's (vocals) breakdancing moves on stage were outstanding. As he was singing and dancing across the stage, I kept praying he would not trip and hurt himself. The guy is AMAZING, I don't know how else to describe him. I have never seen someone actually move that much while singing. Nevertheless they grabbed the crowds attention even though some people weren't familiar with them. The crowd went wild when they were about to play Yeah Yeah Yeah, everybody repeated after David throughout the entire song!!!

Soren (the guitarist and vocals) has an incredible voice. I don't know why but I love it! A person has to be very talented to hit those high keys song after song. His hair style was rockin' blond and covered half of his face. Paol (drummer and vocals) was really hitting those drums. At one point I think he was so into it that his ear piece fell (or something). While David talked to the crowd for like 1 minute, someone quickly came on stage and help put on whatever had fallen. When David started singing that didn't stop Paol, he started drumming with his head slanted. That's dedication! Well done boys! :D

Setlist for the Night
1. Dignity
2. Monkey
3. Psyched Up Junkie
4. Yeah Yeah Yeah

Some other songs may have been played but I don't recall the names. These guys are getting big fast. I posted the video below a few days ago and it already has the most views. Their energy on stage was incredible and on going. Their tunes are so catchy, they make you want to dance/sing or scream along. This was the best way to open up for the rest of the bands. Definitely a 10/10 performance if I had to rate. I would most definitely attend another one of their shows if they go on tour again and I definitely can't wait to get their album!


P.S Below is the video I took of The New Politics Yeah Yeah Yeah. Enjoy and be sure to visit their websites for updates!
