They’ll only have one more tour date (LA) to promote by the time they play Fallon (and it’s sold out already), so it definitely feels like there is going to be something new for them to pitch. Maybe we’ll get a new song premiere at tomorrow’s show. Also, really insane for them to play national TV. Per reddit: “their last album peaked at 84, 19 years ago” lol
If this is some new band stealing their name I'll be so mad. Bad blood squashed, new Format album produced by Jack Antonoff would be objectively funny.
I mean, if you ask me, I never believed they hated each other or anything, I think that was all fan speculation. I've read all the articles and interviews about the split and I really don't think it was personal as much as other reasons. But I'm not them so I don't actually know
I’ll try to dig some up, but if I’m recalling correctly, it was along the lines of Jack (and everyone else) not having a backbone regarding speaking out about Palestine at the Grammy’s. Nate is incredibly down to earth and very purposefully rejected the spotlight. He seems to be pretty grossed out by Hollywood people and culture in general.
No shit! That's amazing, at least one of my guesses was right. I also saw that the other two members are Mark Buzard and Don Raymond, who I believe were both on the Dog Problems tour
Yup! Sounds like a super solid lineup. Also interesting to see Nate holding a guitar in the practice photos they put out today. Was expecting him to be solely on mic duties.
Being the musical guest on a show where the other guest is the biggest musical act on the planet has to mean something, right?
I almost have to think this is “announce new record during return show in your hometown” -> “play new single in front of national audience on TV” trajectory.
