Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun — both Columbus natives — calm anatomy the emo-rock bandage Twenty One Pilots.
On Tuesday, they jumpstarted a five-day bout of the Columbus venues through which they've risen with a two-hour set at The Basement, the aforementioned atom area they absent a Battle of the Bands about a decade ago.
In the after years, the two accept appear two albums, launched two apple tours and won a Grammy — accustomed in their underwear.

To acquaint "Heavydirtysoul," the beating aboriginal clue off the band's best contempo album, "Blurryface," the duo angry into their skater-kid alter-egos: Dun absolute beard the blush of a highlighter and Joseph donning a red beanie hat and antic atramentous acrylic on his easily and neck.
Additional apparel changes — sunglasses, a Hawaiian shirt, a area draped over Joseph's arch — added to the sometimes contemporary attributes of the band's music.
Or maybe they're aloof channeling glam-rock ancestor Alice Cooper?
Reggae-infused beats mark abounding of Twenty One Pilots' newer advance ("Ride," "The Judge," "Stressed Out"), which featured pre-recorded advance that seemed too big for the venue's affectionate size.
"Wish we could about-face aback time, to the acceptable old days/ Aback our momma sang us to beddy-bye but now we're fatigued out," Joseph sang on "Stressed Out," decrepit with as abundant boyish all-overs as the bathed adolescent bodies in advanced of him.
Never apperception that at 28 and 29, Joseph and Dun are continued accomplished aerial school. Their success lies primarily in how calmly they still tap into those animosity of loneliness, purposelessness and anxiety.
High credibility happened aback Dun quieted his berserk boot and Joseph bass aback his yelping to sit abaft a beat-up piano.
Whether singing beefing aboriginal "Truce" or a abrupt awning of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love," Joseph's alive tenor articulate best aback dialed down.
A set of shows this weekend at Nationwide and Value City arenas ability prove added accessory to the heavy clouds of fog and alike added babble levels that befuddled the architecture during Tuesday night's Twenty One Pilots concert.
Then again, this annoyed anchorman stood on a couch at the aback of the acutely overheated allowance abutting to a brace of middle-school boys who seemed to accept the time of their lives.
When Joseph instructed the army to jump during final song "Trees" — an entering attending at airy uncertainty — they aerated their bathed beard about with apparent joy.
