Brand New Band • Page 122

It took them 15 years to play their first (full band) show in Nebraska, and only 5 minutes from where I lived at that. Still worth travelling to see them every time. Made each show more memorable, too.

I'll soon be adding Red Rocks to the list, which blows my mind. I never thought I'd see the day where Brand New played--let alone headlined--a show there.

 

We've gone to a lot of the same shows!

 

Here's mine:

Brand New Setlist at The National, Richmond

Brand New Setlist at The Fillmore, Charlotte

Brand New Setlist at Red Hat Amphitheater, Raleigh

Then seeing them this July in Tampa.

 

Haha, when you live in the midwest it's hard to turn down any opportunity you get to see them.

That October 2014 tour was something special. They played their most eclectic sets in years during that run. I only wish they had kept Logan in the setlists for the whole thing.

 

Man. We should have met up years ago haha. You were at all their shows I've been to except:

07/29/2008 - The Jackpot - Lawrence, KS - Jesse solo
10/07/2009 - Uptown Theater - Kansas City, MO
04/08/2015 - Filmore Auditorium - Denver, CO

I was at The Granada, The Beaumont, The Uptown, The Pageant, and The Midland.

I was supposed to go to a few others on your list but the plans fell through on the Jesse solo show in Omaha, and the last Iowa and Omaha shows.

I'll be at Red Rocks too and that's exactly how I feel. I'm going super early to explore the area since I've never been.
and after many failed attempts this is my first time seeing Modest Mouse too so I'm very excited to say the least.

I'll also be at the KC date following the Red Rocks show

 

I was at this show, I left before Brand New played though because the friends I was with were being assholes to me and I had a panic attack in the crowd.

edit: this was also the only show I've been to. haha

 

I've been to:

Brand New Setlist at Alexandra Palace, London
Brand New Setlist at The Art School, Glasgow
Brand New Setlist at Hit the Deck Festival Bristol 2014
Brand New Setlist at O2 Guildhall Southampton, Southampton

Considering I've only been to 4 shows I've seen them all over the place haha. Also gotten through a really good chunk of their discography too. Aside from the demos I've seen most songs by them I'd have wanted to see really.

 

During the second song, there was something messed up with the way the sound was mixed in the venue, so when You Won't Know kicked into full gear, I went deaf for the next couple songs. Like, legitimately couldn't hear anything and only felt vibrations until a little after they fixed whatever was wrong.

Love The Fillmore though. Probably my favorite venue I've ever been to.

 

I've been to all of their Lawrence and KC shows dating back to 06 but have seen them at lolla, Austin, and Iowa, and STL a few times.

 

I was actually outside waiting for my dad to pick me up and heard like 3 songs into Brand New, and thought something sounded really off with the second song. Thought maybe it was just the fact I was across the street at that diner, but I guess not. haha I love the Fillmore. I live in the University Area of Charlotte and it is by far the best venue in the area. Always excited when bands choose that over Amos for the venue on tours.

 

I've been to:

 

I was not a fan of Redhat in Raleigh. That crowd was the worst. Night and day difference between shows.

 

Closest I've been to Raleigh is Cat's Cradle in Carrboro and they were cool. I'm going up to Atlanta in a month for a show (not Brand New) and am not entirely sure what to expect out of my own state. Good luck on that Tampa drive, by the way!

 

Yeah I've always put up with the lyrics because I like the music

 

I live in Florida now, so it's not too bad of a drive.

Never really been to any concerts in Florida, though I grew up here. The affordability of seeing bands live was always a pipe dream.

 

I've been to the following shows:

11th February 2007 - O2 Academy, Birmingham, UK
29th April 2007 - Give It A Name, Birmingham, UK
26th June 2009 - O2 Academy, Birmingham, UK
15th February 2012 - O2 Academy, Birmingham, UK
16th April 2014 - O2 Academy, Newcastle, UK
22nd September 2015 - Vicar Street, Dublin, Ireland

I'm looking forward to lucky number seven. I wish I had travelled to some of the other shows. :(

 

Ah, that's cool then. I'd go to more concerts if I could afford them for sure, though I'm sure I'll never see Brand New because of how fast the tickets sell out. haha

 

Def curious to find out what the set list will be like on the Canadian tour.

 

Gotta admit, that's one of the more mediocre sets they did that tour.

 

I've seen them 9 times. 10 if you count Jesse at the Philly Kevin Devine showcase where they played Mene and Tommy Gun.

2006 Bamboozle, NJ
2009 Nassau Coliseum, NY
2010 Rutgers Fest, NJ
2011 Crocodile Rock, PA
2011 Atlantic City Thanksgiving, NJ
2011 Atlantic City NYE, NJ
2013 Riot Fest, IL
2014 Mann Center, PA
2014 Forrest Hills, NY

 

That Kevin Devine set was off the hook

 

I showed my mom the video of Brand New live at Austin City Limits and she's been making perverted comments about Vinnie ever since.. jesus

 

I've only seen them once, at a venue that was shut down fairly soon after, but it was a great night! :)

 

What! Blood on the Sand is a great song, one of the best on TBETBN, IMO. Now Wake Up, woof, the chorus is so cock rock I can't stand it.
