SOUTH PADRE ISLAND - Despite the chilly weather, a small group of Spring Breakers and excited fans filled the front row at the Louie's Backyard stage where Maryland rockers All Time Low performed Tuedsay night.
Just days after the band's first big stint on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," All Time Low fired up the crowd with their brand of pop-punk.
The quartet -- with lead singer and guitarist Alexander Gaskarth, drummer Robert Dawson, guitarist Jack Barakat and bassist Zachary Merrick -- took the stage to a lively group of loyal fans and kicked off their set with "Six Feet Under The Stars," off of their latest album "So Wrong, It's Right."
"I expected a few more heads here," lead singer Alexander Gaskarth admitted.
But the foul-mouthed front-man's attitude changed after the crowd warmed up to his between-song banter. Gaskarth charmed the audience with a party pep talk, a rant about staying at the Holiday Inn Express and a rather graphic description of an alleged affair with pop singer Rihanna.
But some fans just wanted to hear the band play.
"Shut up and play some music," shouted one fan. And All Time Low did.
The group worked through technical difficulties, but carried on playing a brief but energetic set, which included fan favorites like "Poppin' Champagne" and "Jasey Rae."
At one point, Gaskarth told fans to feel free to treat the band to drinks and loyal fans responded with a shot of tequila.
The vibe hit a high point when All Time Low rocked their punk version of Rihanna's number one hit, "Umbrella." By then, even non-fans were singing along.
The group ended their Island show by thanking fans for their support and inviting them for drinks afterwards.
All Time Low will continue their Alternative Press Tour by playing at Houston's Warehouse on Friday and the South by Southwest Music Festival on Saturday night in Austin.
