YES THE HOTELIER FOR BOSTON

 

Oso Oso is supporting them in Philly and I am now screaming with joy inside

 

Really unreal openers at every show tbh

 

I like Teenage Wrist but would literally pick any of the other ones over them. I'll be at the LA show though!

 

Wow what amazing openers.

 

Oh man. I’m so bummed I have to miss the Boston show.

 

“I'm gonna tear your ass up like we just got married and you're all mine now“

 

Perfect 6:00 a.m. song I needed this.

 

Totally forgot the Boston show is this Saturday. No idea what to expect.

 

Keep us in the loop!

 

Can't wait! Plus the Hotelier opening... what a night it'll be.

 

I'll be there as well! Also with no idea what to expect. Going into Royale at 7pm on a Saturday will be....different.

 

Still bummed I can’t go to this on Saturday. Have fun!

 

Bought tickets for the Cleveland show yesterday. I’m so excited to see them again.

 

I was thinking yesterday about how much I would love to see these guys again, a West Coast date would be so much fun

 

There's an LA date.

 

Sorry, I forgot to add the part that I'm in San Diego for the LA date and in LA for the San Diego date

 

Haven’t been to this venue yet. Looks interesting.

Also, I guess I should give the hotelier a listen to... heard of them, but never listened to them.

 

The Hotelier are great although I haven’t seen them live.

I like Royale but I know some people hate it. Really depends on where you end up. I actually got to play there in 2011 so I also might be a little bias because I remember that night fondly.

Either way, I like it more than the Paradise.

 

Listen to the hotelier. Your life will be better for it

 

I was just at Royale for Bad Books on Tuesday. For this type of show where it's probably not too crowded, I like the space. It's a little outdated and they are hurting as a nightclub with many new ones opening (the venue's long standing primary focus). They seem to be plugging in more shows of this 'genre'. I'm sure it will be a fun night! And I will say the drink prices for Bad Books was about 2/3 of the regular prices when I have gone to see DJs. Starting Line show has the venue from 7-10, and then everyone is booted out for the 10pm nightclub/house DJ show.

 

Saw bad books last night, they were amazing

 

I am so out of the loop with shows. I thought Bad Books was at The Sinclair. Did it get moved? Both are run by Bowery so I wouldn’t be surprised.

The show I played at Royale was actually opening for Kevin, but that was in 2011.

How was the show?

 

You're spot on that they moved the show. I was rolling my eyes when I saw the announcement but it worked out. Not sure if they plugged in another show at the Sinclair, but I would guess if not, that they overestimated ticket sales a bit moving to Royale.

Show was amazing though with those two singing together...

 

Went to the show last night in LA. It was a great set from them. It was easily the best I’ve seen (last three times they came out West and back in 05).

The “and stories” part is very cool. Yeah we might miss out on a song or two but it’s some good stuff. During one of these breaks the guy I was standing next to threw a paper plane to the stage. Low and behold it landed between Matt’s left hand and the neck of the guitar. He essentially caught it. They said it was a picture of the guy with Kenny and a song request for “Photography” which they unfortunately did not play.

I personally felt that other than “The Best of Me” the crowd went nuts for the songs off Direction over the other albums. Which is awesome to see as a long time fan.

I won’t go too in depth over what they talked about since the tour is essentially just starting but if you’re thinking about going I would. Definitely worth it if you’re a fan.
