One thing a fan needs in order to enjoy a show is a band/artist who are also enjoying themselves. The Arkells pull this off in many different ways. First, their on-stage energy is unparalleled and this fivesome bring it for every show (or at least for the five I have seen). Second, their lead singer, Max Kerman, comes across as genuinely nice guy who legitimately appreciates his fans. Third, they have encorporated some classic covers with their own touch (an idea of these capabilities can be seen in the video below). Fourth, they seem to really enjoy each other and this helps for non-generic stage interaction.
It was interesting to hear them discuss a little bit about their meteoric rise stating that they had always wanted to be able to play at a large venue such as this one and how a year ago they were playing in strip clubs in Vancouver. Now they are headlining their own national tour and a deserving reward after the success of the Jackson Square. They have also been doing a tour blog for this fall tour and that can be found here.
