Into It. Over It. / The World Is A Beautiful Place / The Sidekicks / Pinegrove Tour • Page 2

Show as pretty sweet last night, first time ever hearing Pinegrove; holy shit they were amazing.
The Sidekicks are kinda awful; exciting stage presence though.
My opinion of The World Is... hasn't changed; they write great songs that suffer from being too experimental at times
IIOI incredible as always

 

incorrect

 

IIOI instore at creep records on sunday!

 

correct

 

Well Evan Weiss is Emo Mayor and he's been making a point of saying every night that The Sidekicks are the best rock band in the country.

 

p sure he was agreeing with me (i hope!!!!)

 

I wonder if Evan will constantly talk about how he "is from" Chicago at the shows in Chicago.

 

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who felt that way about sidekicks. And I've recently discovered and love The World Is but you almost have to be in the mood for certain songs. IIOI was probably one of the most memorable show I've been to in a long time. So good.

 

duh

 

Seeing this tour in t-minus 2 hours. Hope this show doesn't suck (lol I have a better chance of being hit by a meteor).

 

Anyone interested in two tickets to the 4/30 Chicago date?

 

Can't even imagine thinking The Sidekicks are bad

 

I listened to their latest album before I saw them. Thought it was ok but when I saw them live nothing really grabbed me.

 

Give Awkward Breeds a listen. I think it's a bit easier to latch on to than Runners.

 

I will say that one of the guitar players is a big Streetlight Manifesto fan which is a plus. My brother is friends with him on a Streetlight messageboard.

 

would argue the sidekicks are the best band on this tour. maybe not live (pinegrove takes the cake on that) but as far as recorded material goes, definitely

 

IIOI on this tour is probably one of my favorite live performances I've seen.

 

I wish tours like this would come to Australia

 

IIOI is the tightest band in the scene, pretty easily.

 

Philly last night was fun. Pinegrove sounded way better live than their actual material, seeing The Sidekicks live finally got me into them the amount I should be, and TWIABP was amazing.

 

TWIABP just completely overdid it in Philly for me. The Sidekicks were a ton of fun. Pinegrove killed it; that band is going to blow up. And as always, IIOI did a fantastic job. The only thing that didn't work too well for me was "Anesthetic." Prefer the studio version.

 

Can you elaborate on what you mean by TWIABP "overdid" it?

 

I think the atmospheric/experimental stuff can be fun if you don't overdo, but they're whole set felt like one really long song with their songs thrown in there and it just didn't work for me. I used to be able to buy into that as a live performance, but I can't anymore. They are obviously very talented and I love their studio material but seeing them live has been the opposite of pleasant for me.

 

I had the same experience when I saw them with Foxing. Totally love their studio stuff, though.

 

Yeah this is how I felt when I saw the last August. It really started to drag on after a while.
