The Wonder Years - The Hum Goes On Forever (Sept 23rd 2022) Album • Page 127

hell yes

10/13 for me in Tulsa

 

Very interested to hear how they sound without Mike (and maybe Josh?). Neither of them were in the rehearsal picture they posted, and Mike posted about having a fill-in for this tour.

 

hmm, hadn't heard about that

 

I missed that post from Mike, just saw it now. Any idea why he's out?

 

i think josh is missing the tour due to his child being born maybe ? iirc

 

If anyone needs a ticket to Portland tomorrow, please let me know. Ended up with an extra

 

Yes to Australia, I've only ever seen them in a half hour festival slot at Soundwave after Suburbia. I actually have some money now and would travel to the eastern states to see them (did so for The Menzingers recently).

 

The Wonder Years and The Menzingers is pretty much my dream lineup. Going to the Stroudsburg show. I wonder who will close?

 

Jeez this is ROUGH

 

Did they make it seem like they were switching up the headliners on different dates? If TWY aren't headlining in Nashville, I might cry

 

Menzingers are closing. If you look at each date it switches who is listed first or second

 

Portland was great! They really seem to like Maine and made it a point to poke fun at themselves for not coming here again until ‘23. Only time they’d played the state prior was 2009. Said they told a lot of other bands to come through.

Confirmed no Josh or Mike. Felt pretty weird, but they still sounded great.

Doors: 6:30
Liquid Mike: 7:30-8:05
The Menzingers: 8:20-9:20
The Wonder Years: 9:40-10:40

I Just Want to Sell Out My Funeral

 

Pretty good set. I like funeral showing up again but wish they wouldn’t have done as many of TGG songs with it. There There and Doors are just so similar in my opinion Menzingers setlist was pretty great too. Sad to miss this tour. We haven’t had to attend a wedding in over 5 years and just happens we have one this Saturday.

I noticed they started advertising these shows separate (so did Menzingers) rather than a joint tour. Wonder if it didn’t pull great numbers. That’s shocking to me. Feel like they both often play venues these sizes on their own.

 

I definitely would have thought they’d sell out in Portland (Oregon) by now. It’s a 900 cap venue and TWY has sold out bigger rooms here by themselves. I’m sure it’ll sell out by show time though.

 

For what it’s worth, they sold out this venue in Portland (Maine) last year, but it was the Hot Mulligan run and a lot of people were definitely there for them.

I’d say it was about 80% full this time around. Menzingers have played Maine a bunch and usually headline a slightly smaller venue. People were super into their set, too, but it definitely felt like TWY were the true headliner, whereas on that HM tour, I think it was a near even split.

 

Anyone looking for tickets to Stroudsburg tomorrow? I have 2 for sale.

 

Stroudsburg show was great. Someone got injured so they stopped for 10 or so minutes midway through “I Don’t Like Who I Was Then” and skipped a few songs to catch up time before Menzos went on.

I revisited No Closer To Heaven today and ended up enjoying it way more than I have before. Some of their highest highs.

The only Sister Cities song they played was the song the crowd kind of died down on.

 

Which was it? They got good reactions last time I saw them on the tour with Hot Mulligan like a year and a half ago

 

Raining In Kyoto!

 

Sister Cities isn't a bad record by any means, just there are no songs that the crowd goes off for

 

Yep! I enjoy it, just stuck out amongst a ton of great crowd pleasers!

 

They didn’t skip any songs fwiw that was same set as previous show

 

Got it! I didn’t hear I Just Wanna Sell Out My Funeral but maybe because that is an encore song!

 

Take the wheel on tour
