best overall lineup of the summer, so excited

 

If you were 5 hours minimum away from a date, would you travel it? Because I'm on the fence about this and Pinegrove headlining in Chi in July. Both would be insane shows, but I don't think I can pull it off twice.

 

see, that's real weird for me, since i'm on the east coast. 5 hours minimum for me is like a connecticut show, haha. that feels like a whole other world. two hours to philly is usually what i consider "traveling", haha. it takes a festival or a one off (american football, latterman) to get me to even go to NYC

 

Never been to Now That's Class but I'd like to attend the Cleveland show if it isn't and doesn't sell out before I get tickets.

 

I'll be at the Richmond show. I was going to suggest PWR BTTM play Strange Matter at some point, only for this to get announced right before I wrote them. I am so stoked!

 

strange matter is a cool place, saw the TWIABP/dads/pity sex tour there in 2013

 

I love it. Small place, great food and beer, and they always have the gender-neutral bathrooms which is why I was going to suggest it.

 

Crowd emptied out after PWR BTTM here, have other shows been similar?

 

really looking forward to the show, i've never heard PWR BTTM before so i'm hopeful they'll surprise me!

 

They're going to. They're incredible.

 

anyone see what kinda merch they got currently i probably can't afford any anyway

 

Slim's was packed from before Petal even went on, really glad with the turnout here

 

holy FUCK were you right they were incredible

 

PWR BTTM is one of the best and one of the most important bands in music now

 

Yeah, I'm checking them out now. Cool stuff for sure.

 

Yeeeeessss. And that new song is just so incredibly catchy. Can't wait for new music.

 

they were so funny too. honestly, PWR BTTM felt like the headliner on this show. there were WAY more ppl there to see them

 

Yup. Pity Sex is a good band but they don't really inspire really passionate fans, PWR BTTM is so inspirational to some people that they'll get real good numbers to come out just for them

 

doesn't help that Pity Sex's set wasn't exactly all that, how do i say.... invigorating? i don't want to say it was "boring" but they didn't really have a great stage presence. there was nobody really getting into the set until the last few songs

 

It's hard to follow PWR BTTM. It was definitely their night and everyone knew it. I haven't seen quite such a lopsided show in a long time, but this wasn't a bad thing. Pity Sex were technically awesome, but man. There's just no comparison after a set like that.
