OUR LAST NIGHT: The Fiery Show in Moscow!

The American group “Our Last Night” came to Moscow on October 22nd and warmed their Russian fans in YOTASPACE Club. Musicians played an unforgettable show and gave many positive emotions to the audience.
This post-hardcore band became a frequent visitor of Russia – they’ve already played the whole Russian tour in April and came back with their new album “Younger Dreams” that was issued in June to play some concerts again.
Last Thursday a crowd of fans was gathering from 11am waiting for the group with anticipation though the show was to start at 8pm. Why so early? To be closer to the stage of course! Neither cold weather nor tiredness scared the young people having a lively discussion of the up-coming show.
The concert began with a powerful sound of the Russian group “Follow The Sunrise”. The guys sang a couple of songs and prepared fans for the headliner. Finally, one after another “Our Last Night” appeared on the stage. The crowd went crazy and met the group with very loud applause and whistles. In an instant, the musicians made everyone in the crowd jump and sing as loudly as possible. They played new songs, some old hits and their best covers. The fans also organized the flash-mob to give the group a pleasure. So, for example, during the song “Home” almost everyone on the hall lifted up the lists “You’re HOME” and during the song “Younger Dreams” there were a lot of blue balloons symbolizing a childhood. The culmination was when a girl in the center of the hall lit a red fire during “Same Old War” like in the clip for this song.
This hearty welcome was noticed. Trevor Wentworth (vocal) thanked the crowd and mentioned that Moscow and Saint Petersburg are ones of his most favorite places to play, because Russians are the craziest and most impassioned fans. In the end “Our Last Night” made a photo with the audience on the background and sang two songs for an encore. But even then nobody hurried to go away. The band came out to the hall to give autographs and make selfies. They didn’t leave empty-handed because of many beautiful presents such as art-works and souvenirs. After the show every member of the group posted some photo in social networks such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook and wrote about their admiration and gratitude to all Russian fans.
The musicians promised to come back to Russia next summer.
