Where is that posted?

 

3 shows in a small town in Jersey. One show at a tiny venue and an over-priced festival in NYC. Makes total sense.

NYC always gets the good tours, but they get one date, the same number as Cleveland/Pittsburgh/Omaha/etc. Tiny cities.

 

Again I ask. Where/how do you know this?

 

It isn't posted, but it is confirmed. As well as 8/13 in Philly.

 

Confirmed by......?

 

If I ever meet a scalper who runs those bots you bet they're getting a wedgie.

 

A mutual friend of the band.

 

Ticketfly is prob the most hackable site

 

had the option to get one at 12:20 but same the same garbage happened

 

Hmmmm ok. I'll choose to believe you. If that's the case I'm def seeing the Sat and Sun shows.

 

Well I do like that Gov ball lineup on Saturday.

I'll have to think it over.

 

Sorry, it's 8/15 in Philly. Misread the text. @ The Filmore

 

I almost completely disagree with Brian’s ranking haha

 

I love all of them but American Slang felt like them trying to do a follow-up to The '59 Sound whereas Handwritten is them saying fuck it we'll be who we are. I also just love the "aesthetic" of Sink or Swim and it has some of their best one-liners

 

thought the same thing and that too is sold out for saturday only

 

Well then... fuck I didn't think it would actually sell out.

 

It is true

 

Bump Slang to #2 and I agree with his ranking

 

59
AS
HW
SoS
GH

 

I would think this is the majority opinion here. Can't really disagree myself.

 

Would love to see them at Stone Pony again because when I did in 2013 it was unanimously considered one of their weakest shows, haha.

 

Man, i’ve been waiting for this article to happen since they started this feature. If I had to guess how he’d rank them I would have predicted 59, handwritten, slang, sink or swim, get hurt. Just a little off lol

 

Brian's love for Sink or Swim has always been something i've appreciated and reciprocated

 

These shows are selling out in seconds and this buzz and hype is infectious and gaining ground everywhere.

I just wish it was enough to convince them to make music again. I just feel like they’re so terrified to make “another bad album” as they think it could ruin their ridiculously good discography. Which is so sad!

 

I agree with this take, and I think it's odd because:
1) Brian doesn't write bad songs, period.
2) Get Hurt was great - they listened to all the wrong people. The loudest voices are not always the right voices. I hate hate hate the rhetoric that this was a "bad album" and always will. If that's a bad album, give me a few more BAD ALBUMS please.
