Jon answered some questions on his Instagram story a few weeks ago. Someone asked why the tour wasn’t coming to San Fransisco and he said because no one came last time. I’m guessing they scheduled this tour in cities they knew people would show up for.
Can’t wait to hear that project with the singer from Vein. Jon played a song at the end of his solo set a couple months ago that was auto tune and just a looped guitar riff and I thought it was fantastic. Don’t think the majority of the crowd liked it tho.
I like the article- it doesn’t really talk about anything out of the ordinary from what I’ve seen him say in the last couple years’ of interviews. I disagree that they should have stayed with No Sleep. That label was drowning at that point. I’m still surprised the label found a way to get out of the mess they were in. Vagrant was obviously just not the best choice to bounce to. I get why they opted to do that, though- what’s the point of making a lateral label jump for them? It’s a bummer that it didn’t work out. Maybe if it did, and they continued an upward ascension, they’d figure out a way to power through without letting it go.
The openers for the new Philly show are Superheaven + Queen of Jeans. For the OG Philly show, Cursive announced their tour, and Appleseed Cast opens the shows- does that mean a 4 band bill, or are they just not gonna do this show?
I'm hoping the Boston date gets Superheaven. I never got to see them before they broke up so that would be cool.
i just posted 4 tickets for the philly show on live nation for $58 a piece, seems a lot lower then what I've seen, if anyone is looking
This started last night in Denver. It was a pretty awesome night. Mewithoutyou and Tigers Jaw both sounded great. Mood seemed to bounce between sad and hyped for Balance. Jon got choked up a couple times addressing the crowd. They didn't really miss a beat since the last time I saw them. They just had to take a decent break between songs for Jon to adjust to the altitude. Setlist was pretty much everything I expected/wanted. Happy to post if people want to see but don't want to spoil anything. Glad I get to see them a couple more times in Philly.
Interested in what they played if you maybe want to post it with the spoiler tag on it! Can't wait for the Philly show. Saw a couple videos last night and definitely seemed like they haven't missed a beat.
Setlist is a definitely out of order in the middle but this is pretty close When I Come Undone Back Of Your Head I Can't Do This Alone Quake Parachutes Void Fade Cut Me Open Afterparty Spinning Postcard Keepsake Patience Reflection I Tore You Apart In My Head Encore: Tiny Raindrop
Not unless they did a second encore that I missed. Jon's voice was getting a little rough at the end so they might have scrapped it
Not clicking that spoiler tag but that big long line at the end before the encore makes me very happy
Yeah. That was hard to watch kinda. Also a little bummed at no Bailey, he and their bass player have a really good chemistry that I felt was a little missing from this set
Hope Bailey is there for Philly. Also hope Jon’s voice holds up. Only a few more shows to go thankfully lol
