Friday
night at The Pearl inside Palms Casino Resort was rockin’ as Matchbox Twenty
performed to a sold out crowd in the amazing concert theater. Playing hits
spanning the band’s career, including chart-toppping songs from their new album
North “She’s So Mean” and “Overjoyed,” fans were energetic singing along with
singer Rob Thomas and standing and dancing in their seats during the show.

ABOUT
MATCHBOX TWENTY
North
is a direction. It's a place. It's a marker of progress -- and an intended
destination. North is also the title of Matchbox Twenty's fourth album, the
quartet's first release in five years, and their first album to debut at #1 on
the Billboard Top 200 album chart. It is also the band’s first set of all-new
material in a decade. And like other connotations of the word, the 12-song set
represents a determined journey, a carefully considered path that combines
earnest melodicism with sly and even snarky fun as well as a new internal world
order that has made Matchbox Twenty a tighter and even more collaborative band
than ever before in its 17-year career.
North finds Matchbox Twenty--Rob Thomas, Paul
Doucette, Kyle Cool and Brian Yale - honed and fine-tuned, from the
roof-raising arena-sized anthem “Put Your Hands Up” to the kinetic beat of “Our
Song” to the rich craft of “Overjoyed” and “Parade.” “English Town” and “I Will” are the group at
its balladic best. And then there's “She's So Mean,” North's high-energy,
harmony-laden first single which is already topping the charts.
