Kaleo at Revention Music Center - Houston, Texas
Photos and Words by Richard Roesler
October 02, 2017 - I admit when I saw that Kaleo was coming to town, I was excited, not because they were coming. But because ZZ Ward was on tour with them! I knew nothing about these young men from Iceland. Remember I only know 5 bands, although I’m not sure a giant annoying purple dinosaur qualifies as a band? Yet it seemed almost every time I mentioned ZZ, Id get “Yeah she rocks and Kaleo is coming too!
So I began to surmise that there maybe something to all this hubbub. As I wandered out to wait on their set I noticed lots of young ladies front and center, many with hands full of roses! But don’t be mislead these guys are not a boy band, they just happen to be likable by the ladies. There were plenty of guys there for the powerful music and some Im sure drug there-by-their ladies, yet left at nights end a fan.
While I couldn’t tell you what the three songs were they opened with, I can tell you they only got stronger with each song! JJ Julius Son has a powerful voice! So upon my return home that evening I decided to learn more about this band Kaleo. Seems they’ve only been in the US for a few years, but keep gaining praise, making list after list of ones to watch. And it is easy to understand why, although I haven’t had a chance to download their music yet (hence why I’m still unsure of the songs) be assured it will be happening…maybe now?
Till next time,
