I haven't heard of either of the two openers. I only sorta like Moose Blood. I was hoping Grayscale and WSTR would be on this but I was told not to get my hopes up!
its a shame to me that lydia isn't so much bigger; such an accessible sound and leighton's a fantastic songwriter
Lol, nothing has made me feel older than someone on this website saying they've never heard of Lydia.
I took my girlfriend to see Lydia last year and they played acoustic with a string section. It was a small venue that had tables in the back and we were able to order dinner and drinks and turn our chairs to watch the show. One of the best shows I've been to in recent memory
Also, this december doesn't get enough love. I fucking love that record. Do they ever play anything from it live?
ive always felt like lydia function much better as an acoustic and/or singer/songwriter band, or at least thats how i perceive them in my head; i was actually kinda disappointed with how loud the show was when i first saw em.
They played Always Move Fast during their first Run Wild tour, but I've been seeing them every time they come around NYC since 2013 and that's the only time I've seen them play a song from that album.
I like the faster stuff but I agree, I think they sound way better when he takes his time and you can hear how great his voice is. They played an acoustic rendition of all I see with the drums on that tour and it was incredible. To me that style is their sweet spot.
I know a lot of older bands. I'm 26. I'm not some young whippersnapper. Just because I didn't know one band and it wasn't the support band I wanted doesn't justify walking all over me. I apologize in advance if this comment wasn't a dig at me, but it came across that way.
Specificying this website made me feel a little attacked. Again, I apologized in advance if you weren't trying to do that. The multiple comments about how Lydia is so great and what not also made me feel like I was an idiot for not knowing them.
It was more to the fact that they were one of the bands that it felt like every post was about here ten or so years ago.
Might hit this up, but the new album will help me make that decision. They were solid, but a little boring when I saw them headline in March and the support does nothing for me personally.
This is a good point. I love their music, but they're kind of awkward to see live. Eddy tends not to say much, and their music isn't necessarily meant to mosh to.
My point exactly. Also the dude with the Neck Tatoos looks like he is literally bored out of his mind and about to fall asleep. He alone made the band's set unerwhelming.
Would love to see Lydia and McCafferty, but going to wait to see them play with a different headliner.
Illuminate was huge on AP when it came out haha. it really has been almost 10 years, fucking crazy. I'd like to see lydia but I ain't giving moose blood my money.
