Photos: AWOLNATION at House of Blues Cleveland

AWOLNATION arrived in Cleveland Saturday, February 17 to a sold-out crowd. The
California-based alternative band played at the House of Blues Cleveland as part of their
nationwide tour in support of their recently released third album, Here Come the Runts. To
open the show, a small clip of “El Condor Pasa” by Nico Gomez and His Afro Percussion Inc
played. As the music faded, AWOLNATION’s lead singer, Aaron Bruno sung the opening verse
of the title track of the new album from the balcony of the venue. When Bruno finished his
verse, he made his way to the stage to continue the song.

From the start of the concert, the band energized the crowd with hits from other
albums like Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf) and a slowed down version of “Kill Your Heroes” to new
songs like “Seven Sticks of Dynamite” and “Passion.”
