We the Kings

Venue: The Orpheum, Tampa, Florida–March 30, 2017

 

 

We the Kings

Don’t let the name fool you, it’s not about ego, it’s about homage to where they came together: The name is from the school that the four original members attended called Martha B. King Middle School. Three of those originals remain, Travis Clark (lead vocals, rhythm guitar,

keyboards), Hunter Thomsen (lead guitar, backing vocals), Danny Duncan (drums, percussion), while Charles Trippy (bass guitar) and Coley O’Toole (keyboards, backing vocals, rhythm guitar) joined in 2011.

They’ve won a couple awards, for “Best Pop Punk Artist” and “Most Innovative Music Video,” but the award that really counts is the dedication of their fan base, who packed the place and sang along to all the songs from their complete first album, being played as the focus of their 10th Anniversary Tour. “Secret Valentine” may not have been a bigger hit than “Check Yes Juliet,” but the crowd sure seemed to love it!

Bolstered by the fantastic support of Cute Is What We Aim For, Plaid Brixx, and Brightside (on the Florida leg of the tour), We the Kings capped off the night with a high energy set that left the crowd wanting more!
