Spanish Love Songs - Schmaltz (March 30, 2018) Album • Page 3

Let us know about the set list - I’ve been really curious what they’ve been playing

 

I'm really hoping it's just songs off this album / possibly the whole album

 

They have a 45 minute time slot in Chicago so I’d be totally cool with just hearing the whole album.

 

You going to Subt tomorrow?

 

Yep!

 

The show was so good tonight. They played eight from the new album - everything except “Otis” (kind of a bummer since it’s my favorite song on it), “El Nino,” and “Aloha” - plus four from the EP that I didn’t know but got great crowd reactions. They weren’t planning on doing “Buffalo” since it’s apparently hard to play but enough people yelled for it that they did it as an encore.

I also enjoyed the singer referring to Schmaltz as “the best second-rate Menzingers B-sides album of the year” or something like that. Is that a line from a review or something?

 

Sounds like a line from a Chorus user haha

 

Gonna have to check out the older stuff today so I’m familiar tomorrow. Any ideas which ones they played?

 

I didn’t realize until I put it on today that it’s a full album and not just an EP. It’s really solid too. They played “Nervous People,” “Dying,” “Mexico,” and “Vermont.”

 

Yup, Giant Sings The Blues. It's also solid as hell.

Bummed they didn't play "Bad Day" though, probably my favorite off that album. Still stoked to see them in a month.

 

Cool to see a thread for this album. I was also at the Chicago show last Saturday and it was a lot of fun. Alex from Typesetter was doing a dj set at the Native after the show and the Spanish guys were there hanging out so I chatted them up a bit. They were really blown away by the response they got at that show. Hopefully more people get into them and the record picks up steam.

 

Woah, this is insanely good. Thanks to Zac and whoever else was talking about this in the Hotelier thread, probably would have never found it otherwise.

Is their other material worth digging in to?

 

I checked the other album out yesterday and it's solid but it's not as good as Schmaltz. Worth checking out for sure

I think the other album on Spotify is just an acoustic ep?

 

Oh cool they’re playing here tomorrow night, I checked out this album just in time lol

 

giving this a shot after lunch today

 

I wasn’t that into it, so let’s see if it breaks the trend of us agreeing.

 

doesn't necessarily seem like my thing but enough people i know like it that it deserves at least a listen to see if it sounds like what i think it does or not

 

My prediction: casey will like it, say it’s fine, and acknowledge that he will probably never return to it again - and he’ll be right

 

Correct

 

am i really that predictable, folks?!?!?!

will let you know around 2!

 

yr def not gonna get the full experience without the lyrics handy imo

 

I’m not a big lyrical listener anyways

 

@Thomas Nassiff you should check this out. Think you'd be a big fan

 

That’s definitely the number one draw of this for me. It’s a good punk album, but the lyrics are great

 

I definitely hear the Menzingers comparisons but to me it sounds way more like Iron Chic.
