The Wonder Years - The Hum Goes On Forever (Sept 23rd 2022) Album • Page 128

I mean damn maybe I should just stay all week after the Starting Line weekend shows

 

also, seeing TWY for the first time in a decade tomorrow night - how rowdy are the crowds these days? Should I expect moshing and stage diving and not try to get close if I'm not into that anymore?

 

Seeing ‘em tonight!

 

Portland show wasn’t too bad. Definitely some moshing and crowd surfing

 

Anyone got the inside track on who the special guests might be

 

The Starting Line, The Early November, All Get Out, Days Away...

 

The show in Nashville last night was great, aside from it seeming to oddly not be as loud as I would have wanted - which is about the last thing I expected to say. We were standing close-ish, maybe 4 people back, and the low end like the kick just wasn’t hitting like I thought it would. Also would have enjoyed more songs or deep cuts, but I loved it either way. It’s incredible how well Dan’s voice holds up through a mostly-heavy set like the one they have on this tour.

 

Got the Zingers closing tomorrow at my show, maybe slightly disappointed it's not TWY but I can't complain too much.

It'll be my 10th time seeing TWY, rookie numbers compared to the lot of you I know but they'll be my most seen band by a good 5 shows now

 

just realized I didn't post anything after seeing them on Sunday!

I think it was my 9th time seeing them, but first in a year and a half or so

Raining In Kyoto got a good reaction from the Tulsa crowd

and I think Hemingway might be one of my favorite songs to hear them play live, man it rules

 

yeah 9th time going back 12 years, not bad

 

This past show was my 16th, with I think more than doubles up any non-local band. Crazy thing is, only 3 of those times are pre-2018.

 

Never been one of my favorites on the record, but it's a blast live.

 

damn they're coming to Australia next year with Joyce Manor what a combo

 

Best news possible. Being in South Australia I've only seen them once at a short festival set. Bucket list band to see headline for sure.

 

Thank god they’re finally coming back to Aus

 

Great interview with Dan: In Conversation: Dan Campbell of The Wonder Years

 

Didn’t know Dan got a Master’s degree during the pandemic. That’s rad.

 

It is awesome that he was able to do that, for sure.

But it breaks my heart that for what I would consider a pretty successful band, he already felt the walls closing in financially in such a short amount of time. Makes sense, the state of making money with music sucks, but man it breaks my heart to have to imagine members of my favorite band holding on by a thread in any downtime from touring (which I know is also getting less viable).

Here's hoping the WWE partnership came with a nice check and some new fans.

 

I'm so excited to read this.

 

Ordered immediately. I’d still love to own an actual copy of Paper Boats too, but even when they do pop up on EBay they go for so much more than I’m willing to pay.

 

Oh hell yeah, this will go real nice with my copy of Paper Boats

 

I have a copy of Paper Boats and the most recent one went for £340?! Madness

 

That article was great. Also ordered the poetry book right away.
