Been waiting for this tour to be announced for about a month now, very stoked there's a date on my birthday that's close enough to go
Chicago is going to be great, although I almost think Homesafe should headline. When the played Subt with Boston Manor in the fall 30% of the crowd left after a Homesafe.
Same sort of thing happened when I saw Homesafe with All Get Out recently in Ohio. The next night in MI they had significantly less draw than the night prior, so maybe Can’t Swim has the most consistent draw and that puts them ahead on the billing here? I won’t pretend to have a clue how these things are thrown together, but it is interesting how things like that work.
Interesting that it happened in Ohio too, I just assumed it was a hometown factor for Homesafe. I do think Can’t Swim are still more popular overall but I don’t know for how long. I think eventually the guy from Knuckle Puck will leave the band to focus on Homesafe, they’re definitely touring more right now.
Not that this is the best metric, but on Spotify Can't Swim have 180,000 monthly listeners, and several songs with over a million streams (Strangers has over 3 million). Homesafe has 40k monthly listeners and no songs top 500,000 streams. Can't Swim also have over double the Facebook likes.
Can’t Swim added $50,000,000 and Winter of Cicada as an encore to the set tonight. I’m guessing they’re going off of the voting thing they posted before and it’ll vary by each date.
My friend who was there last night texted me and said they played it which is why I added it to the playlist, I know they didn't play it night one but I also wasn't there so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edit: I just texted her she said they cut Sadistic Society big sad
AH okay! I'm not familiar with them but I saw it after you edited it so I thought they cut something when they really swapped, my bad!
Homesafe added in Stranger tonight since I asked them to play it on twitter, they take that stuff seriously (my friend asked for time ain't free in Philly and they played that too) so if you wanna hear a song then go @ them.
Anyone going to the Asbury Park show ? They’re gonna have some limited edition merch there and I can’t wait.
