I can’t wait for nine and whatever Tom decides to release in the future both camps are happy all that matters honestly
The Vibe around AVA and this tour is really refreshing. My best friend and I are coming over to the USA from Australia for a Holiday in two weeks and our last day day over there is the AVA show in LA, which I think is also the last day of the tour, I really can't wait to see them again.
I've been going through the AVA albums for the first time in years to get ready for my show on Friday and I'm actually liking them even MORE than I remembered, I was worried they wouldn't hold up. I'm getting genuinely excited, especially since I've only seen Tom live once, on the 2011 Honda Civic Tour
super excited for this record, bummed Philly sold out so quick so my buddy and I will miss the tour. the resale is just too expensive. hoping the Kiss & Tell video comes out soon with maaaybe album name and release date?? the way he's talked about the album sounds like it's pretty far along.
i'm currently in the "they can't possibly have aged as well as I hope" phase. may decide to crush a few at work today though. you've inspired me
Tom sounded great last night... Kiss With A Spell took me by surprise, definitely worth having in the set + the drum solo after... Here’s a cool shot of Tom... the spaceman himself!
Went to the show in Orlando last night and it was great. The classic songs and older material were very nostalgic, the songs from the newer EP's and Dreamwalker were incredible, and the two new singles got a huge crowd pop and added a ton of energy to an already amazing show. Tom was very funny, seemed genuinely happy to be there, and the crowd went wild for him more than a couple of times. Massive applause at the end of the set. His solo acoustic songs were the perfect way to honor his musical legacy, and more special than Blink's whole playthrough of Enema IMO. Very cool to see him happy to be up there. I saw him in the reunited Blink twice and this seems much more from the heart.
New blink is good but honestly...I like new AVA more. Just hoping Tom can avoid super abstract lyrics like the love albums and get more into relatable lyrics like WDNTW. Kiss and Tell and Rebel Girl give me hope. They seem a bit more honest and genuine to me than the new blink songs.
saw a notification on here and thought maybe since it was Friday they dropped the new music video haha, blerg haha. haven't dove into new blink yet, probably wait for next Friday.
Saw them in Maryland tonight and it was fantastic. I honestly don't think Tom has ever sounded better and the new songs sounded amazing
anyone know if any vinyl has been on sale at the shows? really want The Dream Walker. all I have is WDNTW and I-Empire
Also wondering this. Ilan just posted New Regime on at 8:45 tonight and that seems late for the opener..I got a 2hr drive home so wondering what time AVA is usually done
Show starts at 7:30, so I’m going to hate the second band going on at 8:45. I just drove back from VT on 4 hours of sleep after a weekend of drinking and kinda wish I didn’t have Will Call because if they’re not going on until 9:30-10is I’d rather just sell them lol.
I’ve napped, watched zero of my shitty fantasy football team, had a coffee, and now rejuvenated. Lets goooo! *as I blast NINE on my drive into Boston after a great weekend blasting NINE.
I’m wearing a black to the stars shirt with a rocket on it if you wanna say hi! Prob standing towards the back or in the balcony cuz I’m old.
