The Hotelier - Goodness (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 335

When the last note of "Goodness pt II" snare hit and the lights immediately cut to the Home backdrop? I'll probably never forget that.

 

i’d been waiting ten years to sing “open the curtains” with a couple hundred of my closest friends

 

yes, they were solid too

I loved their merch selection too

 

chills

we didn't get the backdrop in Austin though

Christian mentioned that they usually do things different but I guess the venue couldn't pull it off for them

 

Foxing's post Albatross set was amazing. Dallas got Nite Ratz Club for the Hotelier Encore. Was surprised they played Weathered in the warm up set, did not expect that.

Glitterer is great but watching Ned's energy made me crave a Title Fight reunion even more.

 

The Hotelier's 'Home, Like Noplace Is There' Turns 10

I went long

 

Really good piece, great job!

 

it is so on that’s what i’m talking about

 

I feel old.

 

I have been getting into a lot of 4th wave classics that I only casually checked out a decade ago and must say I was kinda shocked that Mobo and Title Fight have literally 10 times more monthly listeners on spotify than Hotelier and The World Is... at the time I was pretty far removed but it sure felt like the latter bands were just as big and got more acclaim/coverage in a lot of spaces.

 

that actually feels wrong

 

Title Fight is definitely insanely popular. Even people I wouldn’t expect to even know them are fans. It’s pretty crazy honestly

 

Title Fight and Mobo being bigger than either doesn’t surprise me at all

 

Nope. They were the two big bands. Mobo played Lolla. Title Fight were critical darlings.

 

yeah, Modern Baseball were everywhere for a few years

 

I am pretty sure I saw hotelier open for title fight in 2014 or 15 too if memory serves me

 

2014 also had a Hotelier tour opening for Mobo.

 

MoBo was on their way to being huge

 

That tour was so much fun. Both bands came through Richmond all the time for a few years and I miss it.

We got Soft Animal and Sun in Carrboro and it was incredible. So glad I could see this tour and hope they decide to do some more.

 

I hate the shortening of modern baseball to mobo

 

Biggest “what if” of that wave.

 

Tomorrow Never Knows Fest at Metro, January 2017. A day that will live in the opposite of infamy.

 

I think the surprise was that they were so much more popular than The Hotelier. Like 1.2 to 1.6 million monthly listens v Hotelier 140k (when Hotelier are touring no less). We're there any other 4th wave bands that transcended to that level of popularity? I recall reading that Peripheral Vision sold a crazy amount but Turnover are at 600k monthly (still very good).
