Spanish Love Songs - No Joy (August 25, 2023) • Page 52

I know it's only been one day but C&L is one of their best songs

 

I like these songs a lot, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss the energy they had on BFE

 

Agreed. I’m really bummed they never got the chance to do a proper headliner for BFE. I feel like that would have been a magical show to experience.

 

These songs are sick. Hopefully they do some headlining shows. Come to Toronto!

 

Another great one.

 

They're gonna save that TWY team up for release day aren't they

 

These new songs feel most similar to Lifers Too in terms of stuff from the No Joy sessions, IMO

 

Probably why it starts with Lifers Too with Dan from TWY..

 

Mad that we’ve already heard 3/4 songs, and we’re almost a month from release.

Also, seeing these at Common Threads this weekend and I’m super pumped.

 

This one reminds me of Petey.

 

Don't tell the boys!

 

I’m going to the headline show in Nottingham tomorrow night. Couldn’t fit in Common Threads so was pleased they’re playing a few headline shows as well.

 

Common Thread in Haarlem was great. Perfect venue with two stages where you could easily get from one stage to the other in under 2 minutes. And also it being 2 days made it so that I could see almost all bands without big overlaps. I really hope they continue that festival in the coming years.

And yeah, Spanish Love Songs were great, as always. Also got to chat a little with Dylan after their Hamburg show and he said they'll be coming back to Europe next year for another headline tour.

 

Yeah, CT was awesome. The only issue whenever these multi-venue events in Camden are put on, is that the Roundhouse is actually like a 5 minute walk from the other venues, like The Underworld or Dingwalls. They planned it well by having very little overlap though. The other venues were open in the afternoon and The Roundhouse in the evening.

SLS subbed, but pulled a bigger crowd than the headliner. Band were great, although I think it reinforces my belief that in comparison to BFE-era material, these songs are a bit boring live other than Haunted and Clean-Up Crew. I hope they bring the pace back a bit.
