New York is known as the city that never sleeps and on Dec. 19 that was the case. The band Thirdstory performed their second sold-out show of the week at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn, N.Y.
The concert was at a quaint venue right over the Brooklyn Bridge in Williamsburg, N.Y. The venue opened up to a small room consisting of a 20 by 20 foot stage. All tickets were general admission and since it was a sold-out show, let me tell you, it was packed. The tiny space felt like a brutal summer day in New York instead of winter time. However, the heat didn’t bother Thirdstory's religious fans.
The night opened up with Canteen Killa, both a producer and DJ. Killa is known for pushing boundaries in his bass and hip-hop mashup tracks. You can find his tracks for free on Soundcloud. The vibe that he brought for the opening act was filled with energy, getting the fans ready for Thirdstory's performance.
Thirdstory is known for their harmonizing covers of popular songs ranging from Taylor Swift to Drake. Recently, they have composed some original material. Three of their original songs are on iTunes and Spotify, including: "G-Train," "Searching for a Feeling" and "Grows Old."
A personal favorite of mine is G-Train. The song reflects past experiences and frustration that all three members of the band feel about trying to find love in New York. The line G-Train comes from the metaphor that they created combining the subway lines and their frustration with love in the city. The song brings together all of the instruments that creates
The band just returned from concerts abroad in both Amsterdam and Paris, coming back to join their forces in New York City. They claimed that the city had helped them to develop their indie/R&B sound.
After leaving the concert, I felt like I was leaving a different world. The energy from both Thirdstory and the fans allowed you to enjoy, understand and really let the music take you away from reality. When Thirdstory was on stage, everyone was present. It wasn't about posting on your Snapchat Story that you were at a concert, it was about listening to the music and what Thirdstory had to say. I can tell by the way that the audience reacted to their music, it's only going to be a short time until they start breaking music charts with their original material.
Make sure to check them out on iTunes or Spotify soon so that you can stay up-to-date if they release any new songs.
