The Starting Line Band • Page 103

I've always liked the Anyways EP, but heading the title track and Luck live really hammers home how much the production holds the songs back

 

Of the few videos I saw floating around, their set at The Novo looked like so much fun.

 

Did they only play 4 songs at that festival in Tahoe?

 

Was at the Taylor Swift show at Wembley where she played The Black Dog for the first time. Was a bit surreal hearing 84,000 people singing this band’s name.

Hoping they make it back over to these shores for a festival next year.

 

Do I hear Taylor Swift guest vocals on a Starting Line song? Think it'd be cool to hear her voice over some pop punk actually.

 

Well damn... Simpsons did it. She sounds great here.

 

Seeing the boys tonight. Just over an hour or so til they play. Stoked!

 

They totally crushed tonight! We even got them to do an encore, which is rare for them.

Gotta say, Blame absolutely rips.

You can find a bunch more on my channel. Kenny said the new stuff will be coming in a few months. I think he may have said 2025, but I didn’t fully catch what he said.

 

Hell yes! Thank you for sharing.

 

That’s awesome your crowd got them to do an encore.

After looking at the setlists from this weekend I’m now more confused about the 25 songs they did last month in LA.

 

Yea, not sure why they didn’t play longer sets this weekend. Our show ended at 10:30 with the unplanned encore, so they had time. But it was an incredible set and we got a bonus song, so I’m content. It seems like shows will continue to be a thing along with a new album, I will see them again before too long.

 

I know SILYMI is always going to be heaviest in the setlist, but I'm so glad they continue to play a lot from the other records too. I would love a full run of BOATS or especially Direction so much.

 

Man, I still love Cheek to Cheek. What an awesome encore song and a way to finish the set.

 

Oh yes.

 

I agree that they will be playing more shows in the next year or so. I don't think they'll be the type to grind it out for weeks but could see them doing 2-3 shows on weekends in blocks for a full year. And probably play more festivals to make it easier to get to certain markets.

 

Totally. Don’t see them doing long tours ever again. Weekends and festivals are likely.

 

This. They’re all older and have real jobs now, it’s way easier to fly in and knock out a few sold out shows.

I had no idea Matt Watts was insanely successful these days. VP of marketing at Fender and formerly the head of entertainment and events for Amazon.

 

He actually just moved on from the Fender gig. Now he's working at Vans HQ in Irvine. His wife is also fairly successful in doing entertainment interviews.

 

Oh damn, that's incredible. Good for him.

Google told me Tom is selling cars at a VW dealership.

 

It’s because they love us out here

 

Yeah 5 songs from their last album and 2/3 from the EP is really cool to see. I'm someone that loves the new stuff just as much as the older stuff so I get excited to hear all of that in the set.

Guess it's the only explanation. Makes me really happy I made the short 3 hour drive for it.

 

It’s that Left Coast Envy.
