Grand Romantic good as hell tbh. been listening a ton the last few days. would take another nate solo anytime
Nate’s voice is pretty unique and I do hope he finds the interest to do lead vocals on something again (solo or band).
You ever think about how this reunion was suddenly prevented by a world pandemic, delayed on three separate occasions, and then just ultimately cancelled? Feels especially cursed. Pains me to know I had tickets to NYC.
Idk if I ever shared this here but... I originally got tickets for the 3rd night in Chicago (at least I think so) and for the 2022 rescheduled dates, I thought it was also for Sunday but I think some of the days actually switched (or I had my days mixed up to begin with). Anyway.. point is that I was going to be out of town the weekend of the show and coming back Sunday night and going straight to the show, which I would've then found out I did not actually have tickets for. So in a way I'm happy it just didn't happen rather than me ruining it for myself by being an idiot
I had friday or saturday to the chicago weekend. I still remember buying the tickets presale and thinking "that was strangely easy" but then coming in this thread after and it was a shit show for every one else

Eternally waiting for them to “revisit the idea of touring again” like they said in their last statement :(
I think Sam would be down, Nate just doesn't want to do anything anymore. Fun, Format, anything. It's a shame.
