Concert Review: Atlas Genius at House of Blues

Atlas Genius by Junior Fernandez

Australian brothers Keith and Michael Jeffery of Atlas Genius along with opener Skylar Grey brought quite an eclectic set list to Houston’s House of Blues this past Wednesday – ranging from a cover of Tears for Fears’s “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” to “Molecules,” their latest single, Drake’s “Hotline Bling,” and The Weeknd’s “The Hills”. (Which, to be completely honest, just felt like too much.) Freshman album hits “If So” and “Trojans” were also part of the thirteen-song set list.

Meanwhile opener Skylar Grey disappeared within the stage lights as she performed her latest single, “Moving Mountains,” which was released earlier this month. The singer-songwriter is known for Rihanna’s “Love The Way You Lie” as well as Diddy’s 2010 hit “Coming Home,” her set was composed of almost all new songs off of her latest album, Moving Mountains.

Overall, a great night at a great venue with a great headlining artist. Thank you to Atlas Genius for putting on one hell of a show!
