New wave-inflected alternative rockers Walk The Moon will be famous forever thanks to the quintuple platinum powerhouse “Shut Up And Dance,” but the band has constantly proved its ability to crank out several more world-conquering singles and long players.

At a sold out Vic Theatre on the “Dream Plane” Tour, which was also livestreamed, the recently scaled down trio starring front man/multi-instrumentalist Nicholas Petricca, bassist Eli Maiman and drummer Sean Waugaman spent about 90 minutes demonstrating exactly that throughout the last decade.

The positivity and equality-promoting group began somewhere in the middle with selections from its more than million-selling breakthrough album “Talking Is Hard,” including “Portugal,” “Avalanche” and “Different Colors,” all of which could’ve come straight out of a John Hughes movie.

The guys kept the beats bursting with cuts from the forthcoming collection, “Heights,” such as “Giants” and “Fire In Your House,” which rival one another in terms of immediacy, while “One Foot” served as an ideal soundtrack to tackle practically any obstacle.

Indeed, it’s impossible not to leave a Walk The Moon concert without feeling invincible, just take a title like “I Can Lift A Car” as one of many examples in a night that also included “Tightrope,” “Tiger Teeth” and Petricca’s solo edition of “Kamikaze.”

And of course there was the carefree bliss of the aforementioned career cornerstone that elicited such an insane reaction, it could surely be heard on Sheffield Avenue, though lest true fans not forget, the equally anthemic “Anna Sun” was actually responsible for putting this act on the mainstream map.

Now all Walk The Moon has to do is come back to Chicago after “Heights” hits streets for what’s certain to be a sing-a-long that will rival anything already established by these truly memorable and motivational musicians.
