The Wonder Years Band • Page 98

Not sure if anyone else is part of SDPS, but during a brief Q&A today on Instagram, someone asked if there was any chance we'd see a 10 year anniversary tour for The Upsides next year, and the answer was "YES."

 

I liked this show as a kid, haven’t seen it in a while.

 

Praying to God if there's an Upsides 10-year that it's a full-fledged tour and not just a weekend in Philly.

 

It will definitely be a tour

I feel like we won’t really see much from them aside from that over the next two years

 

Have you actually tried listening to this band?

 

Yes. They’re ok.

 

Long as they play got scared and I’m sorry I’m in. Can’t believe philly got shafted during the sister cities tour

 

The Upsides sux and would be waste of a tour

 

dislike

 

Only thing worse than the upsides is you, ya deku scrub

 

They definitely played it. They did two nights and pretty sure they played it the first night.

 

got Washington square park my night

 

Oooo yeah they switched the set a little the second night. Got You In January, Washington Square Park, and Don’t Let Me Cave In switched into the set that night instead.
Scared and Sorry is one of my favorite songs to see live. So good.

 

I really can't see them touring on The Upsides.

 

10 years since the upsides huh.

Wow that seems so weird. Breakout album to scene classic and I'm old.

 

Didn't it come out in 2010 or am I crazy

 

Yes next year is 2020

 

The upsides came out right when 10-year tours were really kicking off, so I think it was always a guarantee, I think they were even talking about it back when Suburbia came out. I'm pretty sure there is a ton of money in these 10-year tours. Hell, I think the only reason Four Year Strong is still a band is so they can do an Enemy of the World 10-year tour next year before they call it quits. I also wouldn't be surprised if Man Overboard does Real Talk next year too.

Scene Band Life
Year 1-6: Make 3 albums.
Year 7-9: Be Broken Up
Year 10-15: Reunion with 10 year tours and a couple of new albums.
Year 16: Break up or slow down.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they skip the 10 year tours for most of the records. They've played plenty of shows where they've played each record in full. Not sure they'll wanna keep going down that road.

 

Yeah, this feels like a very accurate breakdown of the average life of a band in this scene. I'm cool with it.

I also think they will definitely do separate 10-year tours or shows for The Upsides, Suburbia, and TGG.

 

I’d like a ten year tour if nothing else but to see bar bands live.

 

NOT EVEN 48 hours until I see these guys in Madrid, I am SO ready.

 

saw them tonight in barcelona, good as always. i have seen them too much probably now though, 15 times maybe, so it's really hard to be pleasantly surprised by the set

 

Anyone been to any of the UK shows so far? Do we know who is closing, TWY or Mayday Parade?

 

Mayday Parade unfortunately
