Summer concerts

I don't go to concerts very often, but managed to hit up a few this summer, attending 2 this August that I believe are worth mentioning.

The first was a Passenger concert in Trakai Castle courtyard, which was a magnificent venue for it, although, maybe a little cramped to begin with. During this concert I discovered that the singer definitely had more great songs than just 'Let her go' - the one song most people recognise. 

After the concert I have added multiple songs of his to my playlist and might even learn to play a few. Another nice surprise was that his newest music video, released just a couple of weeks ago features Lithuanian sites including the castle as parts of the video were filmed in Lithuania.

Overall this has been one of the best concerts I've been to. The energy was great despite only one person being on stage. You could tell he had been busking a lot in the past by the way he told stories and incorporated little things that mentioned Lithuania into songs and chats between them.

The second concert we went to see was Rhye - a collective from California. Now I didn't know a thing about them a couple months ago, but then my friend, who was set on going to see them play showed me 'Open' - the song that caught my attention and then proceeded to play in my head for days. 

This led me to the conclusion that theirs is a concert I cannot miss. The venue was once again something worth noting. They preformed in Loftas, a very artistic, bar that doesn't take itself too seriously, with art installations and climbing nets that immediately grab your attention as you enter the area. I look forward trying them out next time when my attire is a bit more suitable.
