An evening filled with jumping and dancing quickly transformed into sitting and yawning.

On Sept.  18, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Matt and Kim, Walk the Moon and alt-J performed at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre.

The first artist to take the stage was Catfish and the Bottlemen and the tall, lanky, British boys sulked on stage.

I was one of the few people standing and quite frankly was surprised that not that many people seemed to be enjoying their set.

They opened with their biggest hit “Kathleen” and uttered a “thank you very much” in smooth British accents between each song.

Matt and Kim took the stage next and their performance was one for books. They brought an amazing energy that had everyone jumping around singing along.

Their unique sound is only a part of the whole performance; the twerking and booty shaking brought the entirety of the crowd to their feet. Every time Kim stood on her drum and danced the audience screamed even louder.

“Let’s Go” was most anticipated and well received song of the night and an amazing closer to an even better set.

Walk the Moon had the hard task of following Matt and Kim, but they exceled at it. The singing, the instruments, the dancing: it was all absolutely amazing.

While most songs were on their latest album “Talking is Hard” they did please older fans with the recitation of classic hits such as “Jenny” and “Anna Sun”

Chants for more could be heard as they exited the stage and to my sadness, they didn’t return.

The night was filled with amazing energy, that is, until alt-J took the stage.

The monotonous, familiar sounding music had people starting to sit down and leaving early. It seemed that only their die-hard fans were on their feet. This was the first time all night I sat down and I found myself trying to find ways to make the time go faster until I could leave.

If they had gone on earlier in the night, before all of the upbeat energy, maybe I’d like them more, but they just brought me down.
