Live Review: Ambassadors, Black Cat DC (9/4/12)

To some people, large stadium shows are the absolute best thing that they can imagine. The screaming crowds of tens of thousands of fans, the huge visual displays, and echoing sound are exhilarating to these fans, and they live for these shows. I however am far more partial to smaller shows, where the bands call out the crowd to come closer and gather around while experiencing an intimate moment with the 20 people that came out to the show, belting out every word to every song. At that distance, every move the band makes is magnified, and even the smallest errors can ruin a show, but Ambassadors were perfect throughout the night during their supporting set, giving their Washington area fans something great to talk about.

Interview With Ambassadors

Coming out of Brooklyn, Ambassadors is a rising indie-rock band that play more than just the usual brand of indie rock. Influences from blues, rock and roll, electronic, and many other musical styles are all merged together in Ambassadors' music. The band is finishing up a tour with Lights, and the band sat down with us at MuzikDizcovery near the beginning of the tour to discuss the band's brand new record, playing in a band with a brother, how they got hooked up with Lights, one-off headlining shows, and much more which you can read below.
