Mk.gee at Hollywood Palladium

Eric Clapton recently said about Mk.gee that he was one of the modern guitarists who excited him the most. Clapton went on to describe his reasons behind the compliment. He mentioned that Mk.gee was unique. The sounds that he can make with a guitar are like nothing Clapton had ever seen. If Clapton hasn’t seen something quite like MK.gee, there’s a good chance that no one else has. The music legend is certainly on to something; it’s hard to describe exactly what you can expect from Mk.gee at a concert or any of his tracks, for that matter. In this new tour where he’s promoting his Two Star & The Dream Police album, he’s created a dark set with a lot of white smoke. It’s almost like he’s trying to make his concert into a Noir film. With his long hair covering his face, providing a sense of mystery that goes perfectly well with the theming. At the Palladium on Sunday, September 8th, that’s part of what you’re going to see.

What seemingly contrast with this scene, though, are his music and his lyrics. “Are You Looking Up” is one of the more popular songs from his new album. It will probably be featured on the set list for this show in Hollywood. His indie rock vocals and melancholy lyrics contrast with the scene that he’s trying to create. He’s almost getting up on stage with a setup worthy of a heavy metal band, and he’s singing much softer rock! Perhaps all of this is why people like Clapton are excited to see his shows. He’s also collaborating with artists like Omar Apollo. Mk.gee’s work in the studio is very respected in the industry. When you add all of this up, you can tell that you and your friends may be in for quite the experience if you head to the Hollywood Palladium on Sunday, September 8th.

It’s going to be fascinating to see how Mk.gee finds a way to utilize the massive stage at the Hollywood Palladium. The setup is going to be completely different from what he used to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live recently. As a fan, you’ll want to get as close to the stage as can be, though.
