Copeland Band • Page 65

That was my first time seeing Copeland as well. Lovedrug also played. It was in St Paul on Halloween, and they came out dressed like zombies and played Strange and Unprepared. Aaron even had one of those fake blood pill things that he tried to make work during the song, and he was angry that it was a dud haha. Good memories.

 

I saw a YAMS tour with Sherwood and Anchor & Braille. Aaron played bass for A&B. Great times.

 

I saw Copeland when they supported Relient K touring FANSD. Nine years now. Ughhhhh...

 

Remember this. Great tour.

Edit: and Jon played drums for A&B on Sherwood’s kit.

 

I wanna make a sitcom just so I can use There Cannot Be A Close Second as the intro track

 

I’ve never seen them :(

 

Same deal for me. Hate to say it but....I thought they were terribly boring. Their energy was snoozeworthy..
Love them now obviously

 

Want to hear a secret? I thought so too. Then I immediately fell in love with YAMS right after. A fool, I was.

 

Man. The first time I saw Copeland was at a Christian festival in Ohio. Probably like 03/04.

I was bored to death.

Then, well, things changed. Ha

 

Saw that one too, felt out of place with all the high schoolers there to see RK. Still cool to see two of my favorite bands together

 

Saw Copeland in 2004 when they opened for Sparta. I’ve probably seen them 10 times

 

wow Sparta is a name i haven’t seen in a minute

 

Is it possible that I like both YAMS and Ixora more than each other...?

 

Sounds like a perfect Chris Tragger compliment to me, I feel the same way

 

I first saw Copeland in early 2006, and I hate to say it now, but I was bored to tears. I think most of the crowd was, to be honest. It was probably a little more energetic than my memory serves it to be, but I remember feeling like they could’ve possibly been sleeping while they were playing lol.

It probably also didn’t help that they had to follow both Gatsby’s American Dream and Cartel (who ended their set with the entirety of Q and A), and that the headliner we were all waiting for to come on was The Starting Line

 

If you're going to a Copeland show and expecting some super energetic set, I don't know what to tell you lol

 

Wasn’t expecting it to be energetic though? I knew exactly what I was getting into and was not there to see Copeland. At 15 years old and that point in their career, I wasn’t really a fan to begin with — my point was that seeing them with three other high enegy bands did almost the opposite of excite me about them, which bums me out to say now because I wound up loving Copeland later on.

 

Oh for sure. They stick out like a sore thumb on that lineup

 

Am I right in thinking that they've never toured the UK? Certainly not in the past 15 years anyway

 

Hmmm. Not sure. I feel like they’ve been to Europe a couple times.

 

I’m pretty certain they haven’t but I might be wrong.

 

I wish.

 

Not sure what year this is, but the idea of Circa billed lower than MCS and Copeland is hilarious.

 

God damn. I wish I saw that tour. Probably 2005 or 2007.

 

I love Ixora but YAMS is one of the most special albums I’ve ever heard and every time I throw it on I feel lucky to be alive
