AWOLNATION returns to Austin, Texas

 Austin, TX – Rebecca Mendoza Mejia

The rock band, AWOLNATION, performed at Stubb's outdoor stage on November 3rd, 2015 to a sold out audience coming back to where they had one of their first gigs ever.

AWOLNATION is a band started in 2009 that combines rock and electronic music to create a new, unique sound. This concert was part of their "RUN tour" after releasing their album "RUN" eight months prior to their performance at Stubb's. This was a highly expected concert not only for the fans of the band, but to the band as well.

AWOLNATION had one of their first gigs in Austin Texas and the band was excited to come back to where it all started.

The concert began at 7pm by singer and songwriter from Tennessee, Meg Myers, and rock band IRONTOM, who opened for AWOLNATION. After two hours of new music and an excited crowd, the band of the night opened with their new single, "RUN" from their newly released album.

Daisy Robles, a fan, said this is a dream come true. Robles has been listening to the band for more than five years but could never find a way to go to their concerts.

“Their performance was amazing!” said Robles. “If they come again, you will definitely see me here supporting their amazing music.”

Jamie Reyes had never heard of the band before but her friend convinced her it would be a great night. Reyes said she had never heard anything like this music before and she became and instant fan without knowing the lyrics to their music.

"I usually don't like loud bands or rock in general. said Reyes. "AWOLNATION is making me rethink my music decisions!"

Miguel Renteria started listening to the band recently along with his girlfriend. He said he would have never expected the band to tour in Austin. Renteria had no idea this is where they had one of their first gigs.

“It’s crazy!” said Renteria. “This makes me love them even more!”

At the end of the night, AWOLNATION thanked the audience and Austin, Texas where according to Bruno, the lead singer, was “the place where they knew they would make it.”
