Walk The Moon

The writer just watched them live and would love to write about them for you!

Walk The Moon is an indie pop-rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. It was formed in 2008 by Nicholas Petricca (lead vocal, synth, keys, bass drum), together with Kevin Ray as bassist, Sean Waugaman as drummer, and Eli Maiman as their guitarist.



Their first hit single was "Anna Sun" which was named by Esquire one of the "30 Summer Songs Every Man Should Listen To". It is a very bright and fun song, you can dance and sing along to it and for sure it will lift your mood up and brighten up your day. Petricca said that the song is about "maintaining that little bit of being a kid". Indeed, it is a great summer song or just all year round as a pick-me-up.


The band released their first album "I Want! I Want!" in 2010 and it got really good response as an independent album. Just last year, they signed up to RCA Records and released their first major-label album titled "Walk The Moon". Their first hit-single "Anna Sun" went on number 10 in US Alternative Chart and their second single "Tightrope" sat on number 15 of the same chart.



In terms of their live performance, I would say they were pretty amazing! They all came out in warpaint on their faces and played 6 to 7 songs in total. They were all very energetic, especially the lead singer, Nicholas Petricca. The quality of their performance was great. It sounded similar to the recording, no hit-and-miss, and they were dancing and jumping all around too. They were also really really friendly, they interacted a lot with the audience and seems very humble and nice. It was an amazing experience to be able to take part in their concert! (plus point: if this is important, they were very cute too, ladies!)

One Direction Trained With Real Madrid

The rising stars, 5 in 1 boyband, One Direction went to Real Madrid Football Club practice session to fulfil the request of the football club manager, Jose Morinho.


The One Direction boys (who are into football) got the chance to play on a practice session with world class players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Xabi Alonso and Iker Casillas.

Jose Morinho invited Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne (and possibly Harry Styles and Zayn Malik) to Real Madrid base to train together. Also, Morinho wanted to get some One Direction concert tickets for his daughter who is a Directioner.

Well, I guess it is a win-win situation for everyone...

Musicals Are (NOT) Lame

The writer is currently in an intense practice session of a musical production, which also will be the writer's first ever musical theatre! 

If you ever think musical is lame, think again! Musical is a form of art which combines acting, singing and dancing. It is probably one of the most complex art form but it is also one of the most challenging and fun art form out there because you are combining art forms into one. It is a majestic feeling really.

Even if you are a little bit sceptical about it, you must have heard about a lot of different musicals. Les Miserables, CATS, RENT, Grease, Oklahoma!, West Side Story, or The Sound of Music might went in and out your ears at some point in your life. (Please tell me you have ever heard of it because if you have not, I might judge you for living under a rock!)
