Circa Survive - The Amulet (September 22, 2017) Album • Page 154

This is easily my favorite album of theirs but there’s no so cal date for some reason? :(

 

Not missing this. Two MI dates, might do both

 

I noticed that too. No LA, OC, or San Diego show. Very strange.

 

no okc, so dumb

 

Looks like Polyphia and Gouge Away are opening

 

Nothing in a SoCal. They usually always come through here. The 1975 skipped LA and the OC on their last tour too :(

 

I noticed this as well and immediately thought it was because of Coachella and radius clause, but then I realized that weekend 1 of Coachella they have 3 dates in Canada so it's not that.

Maybe there is an upcoming rock festival in SoCal that will have some sort of radius clause, maybe another Taste of Chaos? Or maybe they are planning something bigger for SoCal?

It's just a weird section of the US to be skipping since Anthony always hits up SoCal and does a ton of "special" shows in LA area exclusively. See: Saosin shows this December, TSOAF tours over the years, random one-off solo shows....

I think there will be something, we'll see

 

That is fascinating. Haven't seen Polyphia, I'll be there.

 

I was thinking the same thing. We shall see

 

Their stage presence was annoying and atrocious when I saw them. Sounded good though.

 

Yeah, I kind of hate their shtick, but have always really enjoyed their music.

 

Portland, Washington

 

Yeah I was shocked that they aren’t in SoCal. I’ve seen them 2-3 times at the Fox theater in Pomona, which I could understand if they went to the OC (HoB) or somewhere in LA. But nothing at all seems shocking for a band that is usually in this area on what seems like a yearly basis.

 

For anyone into the bracket threads, a Circa one started today

Your Brackets Are Gone (Circa Survive Bracket) • forum.chorus.fm

 

Does anyone have a list of what has been released via their Patreon so far? I'm interested in maybe joining it, but want to know what I would be in for.

 

Quite a lot:

11 Podcasts
Monthly Contests
Codes for merch off
Song breakdowns
8+ live versions of songs
Some Reimagined songs

I'm missing some but they do a great job updating and sticking to their word. I'd suggest sigining up

 

Very cool! Thanks for the intel

 

best patreon i've supported.

with that said...I wish colin or brendan ran the podcast portion because 5 people interviewing 1 person is a mess

 

just wrapped my first full listen of Descensus in probably 3 or 4 years - i like it more than i remember. Will definitely put it in a more regular rotation to see if it slaps.

 

any new album talk recently on the patreon?

 

In one of the Q&A's for level 4 patrons, I asked about that sorta and they seemed to say every one is writing in their own way. They have been focusing their time on the patreon covers and reimagined version of the old songs, etc.
It seems like Anthony is posting little ideas on his insta.

 

Its definitely the best Patreon I've supported so far. I'd say its worth it for the podcasts alone, really. The covers can be pretty cool as well, and the reimaginings of Circa songs are getting good too - the latest one is In Fear & Faith, and this is the first one they've really taken in a pretty different direction (I think?).

Definitely get it for the podcasts though! I haven't lol'd at any other podcast as much as I have at theirs. Genuinely really funny. I wasn't so into the Wim Hof one, but the rest have been great.

 

are the podcasts about the band and their music, or other things? and are the song re-imaginings downloadable or just stream?

 

Generally, the later ones, they've been loose conversations, where they'll often try and anchor it around something to do with Circa, but its definitely not quite as formal as that. There've been some where they talk a lot about BLM, and the pandemic etc. So its kind of a mix of their day to day, but also Circa as a whole. They had Esao on one of them recently, and that covered a bunch of Circa stuff to do with Esao, but also Esao was talking about his dog going missing etc. They're definitely pretty loose & free flowing though, like listening to friends do a podcast type thing!

And yep, the songs they release are all downloadable!

 

I might have to drop the Ace Enders one and pick this one up, thanks for all the info
