Yeah 17 Coked Up and So Numb are the only two songs I ever come back to from that album.

And I'm sure the reason there hasn't been a Chicago date yet for the IDOTG tour is because of the radius clause from Riot Fest. A date will probably get announced next week.

 

I don't know I'm listening now and honestly I really kind of like this album more each time I come back from it, and I liked it to begin with.

Yea I agree, it seems like it'll be added, although I secretly hope not because I already have tickets to Cleveland, but we'll see how everything works out.

 

Mentioned this in the tour thread, but Reed Murray played his last show with the band at Riot Fest. Kind of bummed to be honest. Reed and their guitarist (who's name I can never remember but who I love to watch) helped my friend get into a show once when she forgot her ID. It was a 17+ show, which she didn't realize, and she wasn't 21 so she didn't think she'd need her ID, and they were not hearing any arguments from us at the door. When Reed and guitarist (seriously does anyone know his name? I feel like he was even in a different band before) heard what was happening, they brought my friend in through the side door. Really saved our skins on that one, so I'll always appreciate it.

 

Was is the hatless, lanky guy? That's Parker.

 

Chicago shows are at Metro, by the way, December 11th and 12th, on sale Thursday at noon.

 

No I know Parker, Garron, and Reed. It's the bald guy.

Thanks for the update. Part of me wishes they hadn't because I'm already stoked for three day weekend and a Cleveland road trip, but it's harder to justify now. But it'd be nice to see these shows on the weekend and it's a smaller venue so maybe I'll just still do it. I'm very scared I'm going to end up at all 4, which seems unnecessary but I'm not sure I have enough self control to not do it.

 

THANKS FOR POSTING!!!

The man you're referring to is Kenny and he's the singer/guitarist of Moneen as well.

 

Yes!!! Thank you. That's been driving me crazy. I remember now that you say it. I kept landing on Kenny Vasoli and then I looked him up and was like no that's not right that's the guy from the Starting Line, but turns out I was half right.

 

ummm WHAT? Kenny plays in SA now???

 

Kenny is such a highlight of their live shows. He's got so much charisma.

 

Yea that's why I felt so bad I couldn't remember his name. He brings a ton of energy to their show. Easily my favorite person to watch besides Max. He bounces all over and gets so into it. Love his presence on stage.

 

He's been playing with them since Hebrews came out.

 

my mind is quite literally BLOWN right now

 

He's even in this video!

 

Yeah I had no clue that was Kenny Bridges...

 

Another baby bemis on the way

 

Happy for them!

 

It's so weird to me imagining a baby Bemis boy, but the good kind of weird.

 

Haven't listened to SA in quite a few months. No reason. I've just been expanding my musical horizons and finding new musical fetishes. I listened to Anarchy, My Dear and the self-titled (with the deluxe binus tracks...of course) last night.and I think they both hold up quite well. Then, somehow, "All Choked Up" came on after and it brought me back to when I first got into the band.

Also, really happy for the Bemis family.

 

here for it

 

I really hope so. I understand that the last few have been polarizing, but I think each has at least flirted with that ...IARB greatness. I'm kind of a fanboy, so I like them more than some seem to, but I've loved every album so far.

 

you have my interest but not my faith

 

I don't need it to be his best, I'm just hoping for another album I like.
