It was a night to remember at Highline Ballroom in New York city last night, as We The Kings played a sold out concert at the venue. The band sang to a capacity crowd who were “ready to party” as lead singer Travis Clark had commented as he spoke to the crowd. Interspersed between between hit songs like “Heaven Can Wait” and “Check Yes Juliet”, Clark told silly stories and anecdotes to keep the audience of mostly teen girls in stitches all night. Clark and company also had a few surprises in store, which included a special cover of Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle” and bringing on stage special guest and personal friend Diane Birch to sing the duet “We’ll Be A Dream”, which they recorded for their second album Smile Kid with popstar Demi Lovato.
The concert was also available on Facebook and was featured on the Celebs on Facebook page. You can catch the highlights below on YouTube, check out some of our screenshots, and even watch the whole set in its entirety in the replay on Livestream.
