On Tuesday, July 9th the Australian band Chase Atlantic brought the North American leg of their ‘PHASES’ Tour to The Granada in Lawrence, Kansas with opening act Lauren Sanderson. Decked out in her pink eye shadow and bandana, Lauren Sanderson got the show started off right. If you were to look out into the crowd, you could see many people rocking their bandana’s along with her. Lauren’s 8 song set included ‘The Only One, ‘Differently’, ‘Electric’, and ‘Better Anyway’ from her EP titled ‘DON'T PANIC!’ as well as songs ‘Written In The Stars’ and a newer track titled ‘Hasta La Vista’. The energy she brought to the stage was infectious. Lauren Sanderson is someone I look forward to hearing more music from and seeing perform again in the future!
Chase Atlantic consists of Mitchel Cave (lead vocals), Clinton Cave (lead guitar/saxophone), Cristian Anthony (rhythm guitar/vocals), Jesse Boyle (drums) and Pat Wilde (guitar/bass). I’m no stranger to one of their shows. Over the past year and a half I have seen them open for Lights, play Warped Tour and now witnessed a show on two of their headlining tours! I just can’t stop coming back for more.
The ‘PHASES’ Tour is in support of the trio’s newest album by the same name that was released on June 28th, 2019. Songs such as ‘ANGELS’, ‘HER’, ‘STUCKINMYBRAIN’, ‘HEAVEN AND BACK’ and ‘LOVE IS (NOT) EASY’ from the sophomore album were brought to the stage. In addition they put popular favorites ‘Swim’, ‘The Walls’, ‘Drugs & Money’, ‘Uncomfortable’, and the show closer ‘Okay’ from their self-titled debut album which was released in 2017 on the set list for this tour. Also performed were tracks ‘LUST’, ‘LIKE A ROCKSTAR’ and ‘WHAT U CALL THAT’ from the ‘DON’T TRY THIS’ EP released earlier this year.
Even in a ridiculously hot venue it didn’t seem to stop anyone from having a good time. Everyone in both the band and crowd went hard until the end. If there’s two things that are always guaranteed at a Chase Atlantic concert: it’s a good time and an amazing performance.
While the North American leg of their tour wraps soon on July 25th in Maryland, they will be heading to Australia for 6 just announced dates this November. In the meantime, be sure to check out the newest album ‘PHASES’ from Chase Atlantic and more on your preferred music listening platform.
