Brand New, Again, Confirm Their End in 2018

Well they played a perfect game. Damn.

 

What else is new

 

Science Fiction is a good album to go out on.

 

I'm having a very bad day, and not that I didn't already have the t shirt telling me this, I didn't need confirmation today.

 

Marketing gods.

 

will they then turn into a creative collective of boundary-pushing art through the minds of innovative and important people including the government and NYT-best selling authors?

14 more months as a "band"

adding brass, horns, and strings to become an orchestra confirmed

brandchester orchestra confirmed confirmed

 

This is good news!! We knew they were breaking up in 2018! That was confirmed with the t-shirt I have on right now.

I was just hoping it wasn't Jan or Feb '18.

Now that we know they together all of 2018, we actually got as much time as we could get!

Hail Jesse.
Hail the rest of them.
Hail Sci Fi.
Hail BN.
Hail that weird amazing big metal light-up screen fence that blew my mind.

 

I'm only fangirling a LITTLE bit that my tweet just got posted on Chorus, haha. Glad the entire internet gets to hear me cry.

 

Fingers crossed I get my "limited edition" vinyl before then...

 

That way they can qualify for Coachella reunion money in about 20 months. Smart.

 

Damn, I knew this was the case but it still sucks to hear out loud.

 

no, they're turning into a bi-monthly curated basket of snacks.

 

God damnit.

 

of course this god damn band is selfish and secretive about all the good shit, but they got no problem going Oprah with break up announcements.

 

I hope they make it to Australia before they pull the pin. Never seen them live, think they've only been here once.

 

How many nights do you think they could sell out Madison Square Garden if they close out their final tour in NY?

Over under 1.5?

 

Ticket prices would be astronomical, and though the new album made a nice splash on the billboard, I don't know if they'd sell out MSG. Would be cool though! I'd be there.

 

They sold it out on their tour with Modest Mouse, and honestly the majority of people there were there for Brand New.

 

Wow I did not know that. Pretty crazy if you think about it. How many non mainstream artists can say they did that?

 

Looking forward to the reunion tour in 2028.

 

After getting Science Fiction, i don't think it's fair to expect anything more from this band. They gave us everything.

 

Working us into a shoot.

 

They finally clicked for me this year so I'm hoping I get to see them live at least once in 2018 before they're done
