I've seen them twice. First time was 2 weeks after Upsides came out with Therefore I Am and Man Overboard. I remember my now wife wasn't all that interested but went with me and sat in the back up against a wall reading a book the whole time lol 2nd time was Pop Punk's Not Dead with New Found Glory, Set Your Goals, Man Overboard and This Time Next Year. That one I got to go back stage for NFG because Kevin Lyman's nephew got me in Definitely have some weird memories of seeing TWY
I wish I had a better list lol but I went back and counted and figured out what number I’m at recently. First one for me was PPND
I have seen the band once because I live in rural South Australia. They played a short early afternoon festival set. They came on after Lucero, and The Lawrence Arms were on another stage so I had to cut that set short to see Lucero/TWY. Suburbia had recently come out and maybe 10 of us in the crowd knew the words to any songs. (I think myself and one other guy knew the words to any Lucero). I had an absolute blast although I recall that a very generic band with screamed verses and clean choruses and double kick breakdowns on every song played - and they had like 10x the crowd smh
I think I'm at something like 62/63. Once the pandemic hit I stopped tracking but it's somewhere around there.
most of mine were in the 2010-2012 range, when them, NFG, TSSF, Fireworks, Polar Bear Club, Make Do and Mend, Transit, etc all seemed to just be in a rotation of who was touring with who. That one Glamour Kills tour was insane.
The first time I saw them was in February of 2011 in a church basement in Indianapolis. My friend's band was opening for them so we got to stand side stage (if want you want to call it a stage haha) and it was insane to see a wall of people jumping and screaming back every word.
I’ve seen them 13 times, mostly in 2011 and 2012 since I’m from the Philly suburbs, but I caught em once in 2013, a couple times in 2015 and once more in 2018. They’re tied with Circa Survive for the band I’ve seen most, but it’s largely carried by that aforementioned two-year period
Turns out i only saw them 6 times but it feels way more than that. Maybe the half dozen Aaron West shows I've seen is throwing me off. 2022 - Upsides/Suburbia Tour 2019 - Sad Summer 2016 - Fall headliner with Real Friends, Knuckle Puck, Moose Blood, Seaway 2016 - Spring headliner with letlive. (Keith Buckley replaced Jason Butler vocals), Tiny Moving Parts, Microwave 2015 - Warped Tour 2014 - Fall headliner with The Story So Far, Modern Baseball, Gnarwolves
I know I've seen them four times for sure, but yeah it really feels like more than that. One extra time if you count an in-store performance for the SC release and I saw Aaron West twice.
I think I’ve only seen them twice, but I’m definitely not as much of a diehard as most of you seem to be.
seriously lol, I've been to a bunch of shows but no single band more than like 10 times i'm at 5 for TWY:
12 times for TWY for me, which is my highest for any band except for maybe Sparks the Rescue, being from Maine and all. I've lost count of how many times I saw them because there's so many local shows I just can't find record of anymore.
Feels fitting to this conversation that Sparks the Rescue was the first band I ever saw more than once. I used to love them
