AJR stopped by Valentine in the Morning on an off-day to talk about the Neotheater Tour, their new single "Dear Winter," being eco-friendly, and so much more!

You might be familiar with the band AJR (Adam, Jack, and Ryan) from their hit songs "I'm Ready," "Weak," "Sober Up" feat. Rivers Cuomo from Weezer, and "Burn The House Down." Well the band of brothers released their third studio album "Neotheater" earlier this year and they just kicked off their "Neotheater World Tour" with the second tour stop being Los Angeles. One thing you have to do at least once in your lifetime because it truly is an experience. They describe their show as a mix between a concert, broadway show, and a movie.

Producer Valerie went to the show at The Shrine Auditorium where they brought not only a high energy performance to the stage, but their own quirks like Jack dancing around the stage, Ryan's "penguin walk," and Adams funny comments. She told them her favorite part of the show is when they showed the audience how they created the song "Don't Throw Out My Legos" before going into it.

"It kind of looks like a TED talk where we basically explain how we produced one of our songs and building it with the kick drum and here's the snare. Then behind me are these visuals that we created of what music looks like inside of our imaginations. Fans don't really get the opportunity to see how a song is made and it's not that complicated so we thought we'd break it down for them. When we were doing club sized shows on our budget we would say let's do a concert meet Blue Man Group show, which eventually led to concert meets Broadway."
