Might sound crazy but theyre one of the best live acts I've ever seen. Incredibly tight band. Side note: my first band in high school covered Naked and Famous.
Backing this post hard. I was only able to see them once, back in like, 2009 at a smaller radio festival in my area... Death Cab for Cutie, Presidents of the United States of America, Bob Mould, and Amanda Palmer. It was a stellar line-up and POTUSA stole the show. Super great live band. I get why they haven't reunited but I would love for that to happen, hah.
That is an insane lineup. I’m jealous you got to see that! I was too optimistic that they’d reunite for some shows this year since it’s the 30th anniversary of their first album…
It was pretty perfectly curated! That particular radio station had a real nice way about the shows they put together... They had one a few years before that where they had Silversun Pickups, Gogol Bordello, Matt & Kim, Against Me!, and Henry Clay People on an outdoor stage during the day and then Metric, Nada Surf, and Rogue Wave inside a club at night. It was a super fun day.
That's the Silverstein tour. Silverstein is headlining and Thursday, Free Throw and Bloom are openers. It was announced a month or so ago.
