Man I think this is an great live album. And I even agree that they are a very hit or miss live band. Watching their live performance from Coachella a few years ago was one of the most disappointing things I’d ever seen. V v bad.
Celebration Rock hitting the 10-year mark this weekend. I wrote about it and why it still rips. Japandroids – Celebration Rock
They announced they were “hibernating to work on the next record” in late 2018, nothing since then. Also quietly cancelled a handful of festival appearances this year where they were supposed to play this album in full. Sooooo we might hear something eventually, but who knows
Celebration Rock, Handwritten, On the Impossible Past. Dear fucking god I cannot believe it’s been a decade. Was graduating high school and heading off to college. These 3 albums defined that year and are some of my favorite of all time.
Listening to Celebraton Rock during my "focus" time blocks at work today. God dammit I miss this band.
