The band was set to premiere their album titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is There Anybody Out There?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for their fans in an intimate concert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The event, which was hosted and sponsored by Y100 Miami, first began with an hour of cocktails, mingling, and billboard hits spun by DJ Ross.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lawn\u2019s setting was equivalent to a soir\u00e9e being held in prestigious Coral Gables with white furniture and dim lighting all around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon arriving on stage, the talented twosome, Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino, who dressed in black skinny jeans and monochrome colored T-shirts, began to unleash their vocal talents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now for those of you wondering who A Great Big World is, maybe I should mention their number one hit \u201cSay Something\u201d which features Christina Aguilera, or the fact they performed in the Victoria\u2019s Secret Fashion show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their first album proved to contain a mixture of fun, melancholic, controversial, and innovative tunes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The duo made their musical diversity a point throughout the show as they performed all 13 songs from the album. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The band clearly has strong opinions, verifying this with their song \u201cEveryone Is Gay\u201d which features lyrics like, \u201cif you\u2019re gay then you\u2019re gay, don\u2019t pretend that you\u2019re straight. You can be who you are everyday of the week.\u201d The reaction of the guys in the crowd was priceless to say the least.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The polar vortex being in full effect didn\u2019t stop hundreds of fans\\from attending A Great Big World\u2019s Album release concert on Jan. 24.
