Samsung and AT&T Summer Krush Tour

Review by Eric Peltier

It may have come after Labor Day, but the calendar still says it is summer, so the Samsung and AT&T Summer Krush Tour was an interesting way for an exclusive group of fans to enjoy All American Rejects at Webster Hall on September 5. The showcase of rotating bands in fifteen cities nationally played for a crowed hall, albeit an eighteen plus show leaving the core of their screamers outside begging for a listen. Those who did make it in were treated to an hour of ear-candy riddled pop-punk spanning the band's career. Although the reaction was subdued for most of the set, the high points found the auditorium echoing with crowd-sung choruses and some interesting dance moves along the stage line. Given the invitation only nature of the event, the atmosphere lacked the electricity the band thrives on, but a few bras thrown on stage kept the antics upbeat and made for good commentary throughout.
