Still, still, STILL can't believe these guys aren't massive here. Fall Out Boy OPENS for them overseas. They played a 200-cap club in the Twin Cities last month and almost burned the place down. Video is cool. Looking forward to a new album soon hopefully.
You went to that show? I'm a massive Biffy fan from Australia, when they announced that US tour I looked at all the venues to see the sizes. Lost my shit when I saw that venue! Would've been wild! They're not big in Australia either. Saw them to 2000 people last time they were here and have seen them to 800 a few years back. I actually flew to the UK last year to see them headline Reading + the massive Glasgow show they did. Was unreal to see the other side of it!
It WAS unreal. I was 10 feet from Simon the whole night. Set list was aces. It was one of the top 10 shows I've ever seen in my life. I would love for them to play arenas here, because I think they deserve the success and I know their stage show is wild. But if it means I can see them with a couple hundred die-hards every time they come back here? I'm in.
Haha yep I know exactly how you feel! I was front row at the 800 cap show I went to and that's definitely a top 10 show for me. I'm still hanging out for them to come back to Australia, haven't been since I saw them in the UK last year. I'm gonna appreciate the small show so much more now that I've seen them to 35,000+ people!
Saw these guys at Reading festival in 2013 and it was amazing, and then also saw them in Birmingham with 15,000 people supported by Brand New and they absolutely destroyed the place. Incredible live act and great on record (although Puzzle is still their masterpiece).
