Thursday, January 14 saw Cardiknox opening for The Knocks at Baby's All Right, making for a poptastic, dance-worthy night. They took the stage with an energy that didn't leave until the last song was done, and I have a feeling it probably followed them to the merch table, too. The show had a mixture of the old with an emphasis on the new as their upcoming album, Portrait, just became available for pre-order. This show was the first of Cardiknox's tour with The Knocks, and it looks like it's going to be a pretty successful tour if Thursday was any indication. Frontwoman Lonnie Angle bounced around the stage as Thomas Dutton jammed out next to her. She hit some impressive falsetto notes, and Dutton made sure to follow up with equally impressive riffs. When they played their latest single, "Into the Night," the crowd lost their minds, jumping to rival Angle's enthusiasm. They certainly gave everyone there plenty of reason to dance, so it only made sense to react appropriately. There's not enough concerts that make getting down and boogying into a priority, and Cardiknox are proof enough that we need more of it.

Until you can catch them on tour, listen to "Doors" below.
