Plenty of times bands are likened, in hyphen-heavy comparisons, to other more famous musicians, but on the first night of the Three of Clubs tour, Flagship, Little Daylight and Terraplane Sun all proved they each have a sound all their own.

Playing to a sparse crowd in the House of Blues’ Cambridge Room, the three bands rocked the night away, happy that even a few people had shown up to their first visit to Dallas.

Terraplane Sun opened the show bringing alternative sounds to their indie pop-rock music, with an electric organ and a trombone thrown in occasionally. The band, which opened for Imagine Dragons last summer, played songs from their EP, released in July 2013.

Songs like “Get Me Golden” and “Tell Me I’m Wrong” had the intimate audience bobbing and clapping along.

“We would have been excited if only two people had shown up,” lead singer Ben Rothbard told the crowd. “We’re happy to be breaking the tour seal with you guys.”

The electronic group, Little Daylight, which featured the only female of the bands, lead singer Nikki Taylor, followed Terraplane Sun.

While Nikki’s voice was a little hard to hear under the loud synth music, the band’s talent truly shined through. Full of danceable beats and relatable lyric, the band’s ’80s inspired music was sure to get each and every one of the audience members tapping their feet.

By far the most eclectic group in the trio of bands, Little Daylight has radio potential, with the success of other female-led alternative bands like CHVRCHES and HAIM leading the way.

The concert was rounded out by Flagship, led by British vocalist Drake Margolnick. The reverb driven vocals combined with strong lyrics and dreamy alt-rock created a totally different atmosphere in the Cambridge Room, bringing most audience members to their feet.

The band came to Dallas straight from their SXSW performance and proved to be a solid closer for the tour.

With 24 more shows left for the Three of Clubs tour, the bands are sure to draw crowds as their visibility grows. The few technical squeaks can be cleaned up as the tour finds its momentum and as the future grows brighter for each band.
