X Ambassadors at House of Blues in Chicago
During SummerFest 2015, Front Row Music News had a brief opportunity to check out X Ambassadors. However, this time, X Ambassadors were the headline artist to a sold out crowd at House of Blues in Chicago on April 6, 2016. Also, included in the line-up were Savoir Adore and Seinabo Sey.

As expected, the majority of the songs played were from the album, VHS. The set list started out with “Loveless”, then “Hang On”. Current single, “Unsteady” brought many cheers and fans singing along word for word with hands swaying in the air. “Low Life” was dedicated to all the “Scumbags” out there. Sam Harris told Chicago fans how “Gorgeous” they were as he sang the song of the same title. Two songs that got fans jumping were “Jungle” and “B.I.G.”. In addition, the band brought out a some songs not on their debut album as well, with Love Songs Drug Songs, Giants, as well as Unconsolable as the final encore song for the night. Of course the last song prior to the encore was the
