The first leg of the Mowgli’s Kids In Love tour has come to a close and what better way to celebrate than by the 7-piece ensemble playing to a packed Regent Theater in their hometown of Los Angeles? It was all love and good times as songs from their albums Waiting For The Dawn and Kids In Love had folks in the room of all ages dancing and singing along. Yes, there was also some screaming, but that just showed how much they cared.

Not only were Minnesota’s Hippo Campus partners on the Kids In Love tour, but they made their Los Angeles debut opening the show. Their stock in trade is in ebullient and danceable pop/rock perfectly exhibited by the clean guitars and catchy melodies of the songs on their debut EP, Bashful Creatures.
