Monarch Music Hall
Peoria, Illinois

Jack Barakat of All Time Low

The re-branded venue, Monarch Music Hall, that was formerly known as Limelight entered the scene with a SOLD OUT show of the Young Renegades Tour with All Time Low, gnash, and DREAMERS. Music fans were ecstatic that the venue could remain open and bring intimate shows to the area. Ambitious fans started lining up at nine in the morning to be the first ones at the rail.

Alternative rockers, DREAMERS from New York, opened the Young Renegades tour. The three piece consists of vocalist, guitarist Nick Wold, bassist Marc Nelson, and drummer, Jacob Lee Wick. DREAMERS is that band that you know all their songs because they are so infectious. Their album This Album Does Not Exist (Fairfax Recordings) was released August 26, 2016. The single “Wolves (You Got Me)” has been out for a few years now and gets regular airplay on Alt Nation and alternative radio around the country. Their songs “Painkiller” and “Sweet Disaster” get in your ear and don’t let go. Tonight they played those hits along with a new song “Last Love Song” and a tribute cover of “Zombie” by The Cranberries. Their set was short, sweet, and reminded the fans of exactly who they are.

All Time Low is a Pop Punk band from Towson, Maryland. The band consists of vocalist, Alex Gaskarth, guitarist, Jack Barakat, bassist, Zack Merrick, and drummer Rian Dawson. The band has had success touring the world relentlessly. They have won awards and Alex and Jack hosted the Alternative Press Music Awards in 2015 and 2016. Their latest release, Last Young Renegade (FUELED BY RAMEN) was released on June 2, 2017. A plain stage set up just consisted of the drum kit and microphone stands stood on the stage. The band received a respectable number of bras from the crowd. It is expected that they will collect the bras and hang them their microphone stands. Many undergarments contain messages and phone numbers written on them in hopes that the band will reach out. There was one that may have been EE size that Jack commented he would be happy to die from. There was some banter about Quizno’s that was just disturbing. Most of the fans were there to sing along to all their favorite songs whether it was their classic “Weightless” or the new ballad “Dirty Laundry”, everyone knew the words and sang along.

A DAY TO REMEMBER CONCERT REVIEW AND PHOTOS

The House Party Tour included A Day To Remember, Pierce The Veil, All Time Low, and The Wonder Years.

This concert occurred in Bloomington, Illinois on October 3, 2013 at U.S. Cellular Coliseum. The floor was packed with fans and afterwards many said it was the best show they had ever been to. It was a phenomenally entertaining show. There was everything that a fan would want in rock show. The show occurred right before the release of A Day To Remember’s self-released album Common Courtesy. The night began with The Wonder Years. They are a punk band from Pennsylvania. They got the show started off right.

All Time Low performed next and their stage backdrop and their shirt with the”f☠ck” image was the hottest seller of the night. Various items were thrown onstage including hats and many colorful bras made it onto Jack Barakat’s microphone stand. The best part of their set was that Alex Gaskarth chose one of the audience members to come up and sing the song “Time Bomb”. If you were the lucky one, you had to sing along with the band. The winner was Kyle that night. You can watch his performance here:

Vic Fuentes, singer for Pierce The Veil, came onstage to sing the newest single “A Love Like War”. The collaboration between Alex and Vic was extraordinary. The track is infectious.

Pierce The Veil

Pierce The Veil took the stage next. Pierce The Veil is a post-hardcore band from San Diego, California. Lighted letters of P, T, V were on the stage with various background images. Their performance was fantastic. Their live performance showcases the talent of each member and Vic Fuentes vocals are amazing. Their latest album, Collide With The Sky, may be their best yet.

A Day To Remember

A Day To Remember was the main event. A movie on a white backdrop that covered the entire stage set up that people were coming over for a house party. The backdrop fell and revealed a two-story house. The garage door goes open and the band comes out of it with the drum kit on sliders.

A Day To Remember’s Jeremy McKinnon

Jeremy McKinnon was in a human hamster ball and rode over the hands of the crowd in it. Needless to say, the crowd loved it. ADTR also tossed toilet paper rolls into the crowd. During the holiday time, Christmas lights were lit on the house as well as Santa and elves shooting t-shirts into the crowd. There were a the front of a couple of old trucks on the stage as well.

A Day To Remember

The night ended with actual fans getting onstage to participate in the house party. Then faux cops come onstage clear the way. Then a pretend heliocopter shoots the house up and it gets “bombed” out. The House Party Tour is an amazing show that I hope you have the opportunity to see.
