Hoping they’re there. Last time they played there my fiancée made me watch The Neighborhood instead and they were so bad lol
Very torn between Boston and shadow of the city. On one hand one is a 10 min Uber and I felt too old to be at SotC in 2021. On the other hand it’s hard to pass up the chance to see a band in their most peak setting. V interested in the lineup
Same. During khalid I felt like a chaperone lol. Then it felt like the place really cleared out. I had a blast though. Jack guest listed me as a wedding gift!
Haha yup I got there a little bit before Khalid’s set and felt so out of place. Definitely cleared out for Brian Fallon and then the place was just a damn good time for Andrew McMahon and Bleachers. But that’s so sick of Jack! What a cool gift/experience. Back then he was just casually walking around at points with Lena Dunham. Not sure if he’s done that in the two times he’s held the festival since (obviously without Dunham), but I’d be surprised if he could do that now without being completely swarmed.
“Alma Mater” live with just acoustic guitar and sax was spectacular. A totally different side of that song and much better than the studio version.
I met him a few times during Steel Train/fun and can confirm he was super chill. That was also a million years ago so what do I know
During the show a couple weeks ago, I was thinking about the continuity between Steel Train and Bleachers and how fun. feels increasingly like a side step in Jack's career and not the defining thing that it was at the time. Interesting that he kind of describes it the same way in that interview.
Great interview, and kind of required reading for anyone who has loved bleachers but has been feeling some burnout around him being literally everywhere. Really comes across as a way more normal dude than popular opinion has framed him for the last couple years.
