We The Kings brought their 10 Year Anniversary Tour to the Rave Bar in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on March 7th, 2017, along with guests Astro Lasso, an electric indie pop band made of two members from York, PA, Plaid Brixx, an alternative pop band from Columbus, OH, as well as Cute Is What We Aim For, a pop rock band from Buffalo, NY.

The night started off with Astro Lasso coming on stage. They blew everyone away with their incredible stage presence, even more so after announcing they have only been a band for around 3 weeks. The two member band consisting of Jordan Davis on vocals, synth, and guitar, and Tristan Martin on drums, held everyone’s attention playing a handful of original songs & a cover of Ed Sheeran’s “Shape Of You” which left the crowd dancing along.

Up next was Plaid Brixx, who proved they could hold their own just as much as any other band on the tour. Chris Duggan (Vocalist) started off the set with just as much energy as he finished it off with. There wasn’t a second that he wasn’t dancing and having a blast interacting with the crowd. They ended their set with a “Crowd VIP” award as well, definitely a creative way to keep the crowd involved! Plaid Brixx is definitely a band you should keep checking out, if you haven’t already!

Cute Is What We Aim For came up on stage with just as much energy as everyone before them, jumping around, dancing and making jokes about how the room was full of very supportive boyfriends, and people reliving their middle school years. Playing the hits that everyone knows like “The Curse Of Curves,” and some newer songs fans weren’t as familiar with, but still had a blast listening to. Toward the end of their set Jordan (Vocalist of Astro Lasso) joined them on stage for a song, leaving the crowd cheering for more.

We The Kings was up next and you can feel the crowd getting more anxious as they watch the stage get set up. Soon after, a voice on the overhead instructed fans to keep all clothes on…. Until the second song, record all they wanted and have fun. Going right into ‘Check Yes Juliet’ the band came out of the gate with a high energy performance for a crowd who belted every lyric like it was 2007 all over again.
