The Mowgli’s Want You to Live a ‘Real Good Life’ With New Single

Bayside returned to Philly this past week for a two night stand celebrating their music both old and new. i99Radio was on the scene to capture night one of two. For the first night, Bayside brought songs from their early years, 2004 to 2008. For many of us, it takes us back instantly to the songs of our childhood, middle and high school years, and the audience spanning Gen X to Gen Alpha came ready to rock.

Long Island, NY’s The Sleeping started the night off and brought their unique blend of post-hardcore and raw energy to the stage that really got the audience going. People thrashed around and sang along, and even a toddler hopping up on his dad’s shoulders to get a better view of frontman Doug Robinson, who climbed up to the barrier, putting his microphone up to fans to sing along with them, and eventually even crowdsurfing above their heads at one point. The band has been experiencing a revival since their reunion in 2022 and their fantastic newest album, “I Feel Like I’m Becoming a Ghost”, dropping in 2023.

Bayside then took the stage, kicking off their set with the classic track, “Montauk”, from their second self-titled album. Frontman Anthony Ranieri commented how their idea for the “Errors Tour” came about when they wanted to play 44 songs in each city, instead of just 22. He talked about how the band has so many songs that fans love from all across their career, but not enough time to play them all, so they thought, “why not just play 2 nights in every city?”

The night of classic nostalgia continued on, with the band delivering high-energy versions of much loved tracks from their third album, 2007’s “The Walking Wounded”, like “Duality”, “I and I”, and the ballad “Landing Feet First” (of which started a massive audience singalong). The band also reached far back in their discography, playing tracks from their first years as a band, like “Masterpiece”, “Guardrail” and “Kellum”, off of the first album, 2004’s “Sirens and Condolences.” The audience was audibly excited by this, as these tracks are very rarely played live. The audience cheered loudly and unleashed a constant stream of crowd-surfers to the front of stage as they ripped through these classic tracks. The “newest” songs they played for night 1 were tracks from 2008’s classic album, “Shudder”, like “Boy”, “No One Understands” and “The Ghost of St. Valentine”. Again, many of these tracks haven’t been played since the Shudder Tour in 2008 so hearing these songs was certainly a treat for the audience.

Bayside’s show at Brooklyn Bowl was a testament to how the songs we grew up with are forever engrained in our DNA, the music grows with us and becomes a part of us as we grow older, but we never forget the songs that influenced us almost two decades ago. The 1,000 people in the audience who turned up to sing every word of these songs that are almost 20 years old now proves this to be true and Bayside to be a band close to so many people’s hearts.

Alternative pop rock band The Mowgli’s once again have wowed fans with the release of their new single, “Real Good Life.” It’s been a hot minute since the band has released new music, so there were tons of eager fans awaiting the release. And the band definitely didn’t disappoint! I didn’t know exactly what to expect, but after the first listen I was hooked. It’s definitely one of those feel-good songs that you just have to jam in your headphones, on repeat, to ignore all of the bullshit going on around you. Despite how crazy the world and/or life may get, this song reinforces the idea that there can still be good. As the band said on Twitter, “We’re celebrating all the good in this world.” That’s one thing I absolutely love about The Mowgli’s, they focus on the good and can bring happiness to any situation. They even have a super rad lyric video to go along with the song, which you can watch here. Go learn the lyrics and be prepared to sing along at a show!

Vocalist/guitarist Colin Dieden’s sultry vocals and the upbeat tune start the song off with instant positive vibes. The beat of the song is insanely crazy, in the best way possible. There’s no way you won’t want to dance along! Throughout the entire song you can hear a variety of instruments, which mixed with Dieden and Katie Earl’s vocals are a match made in heaven. All in all this song is one big, happy anthemic tune, and it’s impossible to not smile while listening to it!

For me personally, I have never been more happy than at a Mowgli’s show. If you haven’t experienced their music live at a show then you need to ASAP. Even if you have seen the band before you need to get out to a show and experience it all over again! Lucky for all of us, the band will be embarking on a nation. Mainland will be supporting The Mowgli’s on this tour, so you’re in for one kick ass show. The band will be “stepping back to smaller stages, testing new songs and digging back into the catalogue,” in order to provide a more intimate show for their fans. This is definitely not a tour you want to miss out on. Check below to see if the Real Good Life Tour is coming to a city near you, and if it is you better not miss it!
