TBS/BN boots up

CONTRABAND

 

Wow those go hard

 

Mark and his manager went from posting nonstop for weeks to not posting anything for nearly an entire month.

Wonder if there is some behind the scenes legal stuff going on.

Still find it funny TBS hasn’t addressed anything whatsoever.

 

The bands on break right now, right? No need to announce drama.

 

They announced their Coheed tour after Mark announced he was out.

To be honest, I don’t think they’ll ever address it - which will be even funnier.

 

That’s what I mean. Like they announced the tour so tickets can sell, it they aren’t out playing any shows at the moment, right? I agree, I don’t think they’ll address it and definitely not when they’re just chillin at home.

 

I don’t see the point in addressing it. For the fans that are really paying attention (here) it’s clear what happened, if you’re not paying that close of attention you can probably still use deductive reasoning and draw an accurate conclusion, & if you’re not paying attention at all you’ll go to the shows and probably not notice.

 

I really don't get caring about the band addressing it publicly. Mark talked crazy shit for weeks and then released some cleaned up PR statement. Clearly they addressed it behind the scenes and that's that

 

I confess I’m still really curious about what went down with that show he was supposed to be playing with Eddie at 2pm on a Friday.

 

I think somebody clarified it was for a music video of some sort? But I don’t really know.

 

The post had said music video and show, then it never happened for some reason that I figure had something to do with it being during the week at 2pm and/or not having permits.

I noticed that about Mark/his manager and found it very interesting that they've been pretty quiet recently after nearly a month of nonstop posting. But when they were posting, I had noticed they and all their friends were wearing a variety of Mark O'Connell/follow the money sweatshirts, and I do have to wonder how much money they spent getting that may colorways and designs printed.

 

long Island peeps:

TBS, Say Anything, Gym Class Heroes, Head Automatica first night of the GSB Music Festival July 24th

 

Three piece promo photo spotted on Instagram

when will we ever get justice for Nathan

 

If Fred is still playing with Say Anything, I suspect we will get another Fred moment during the set.

 

I can't tell if this is a joke or not? But I have a feeling that if Nathan isn't an "official" member by now vs. just a touring musician, it's likely something that they've discussed and he's chosen not to be a part of? I can't imagine him sticking around for about 15 years otherwise. Apart from Quit Trying (I think, I could have the song wrong), he hasn't really been involved with the writing/recording process, so I don't know if there's really a need for him to be all that involved in promo photos etc. Do other bands typically post promo photos with their long term touring musicians?

 

Yeah probably the same kinda thing as the other dude in Green Day

 

Wonder if John will come out and perform Skinny Mean Man with Say Anything.

 

Where has Lenny been?

 

it is a joke. I assume (or hope) he is fine and happy with whatever arrangement they have, since he continues to hang with them. But the dude is super talented and it would be cool to see him just brought on as a full member at this point.

 

Still no tour with Fred?
