Brand New Band • Page 398

I know they're all still young, but damn they're aging well

 

Never not handsome

 

SAME. My cousin worked on Warped Tour the year they blew up. We went to one of the dates to hang out with him and one of the first thing he did was rec ADTR - "you've gotta check these guys out, they're incredible" so of course we watched and not even 30 seconds in my boyfriend (now husband) and I looked at each other like "the FUCK is this?!" Band is horrible.

 

So in a weeks time I'll have seen these guys for my 17th and 18th times, and I'm still as excited as ever.

If anyone is going to Manchester on Saturday or Birmingham on Wednesday I'll be out and about in the town all day having beers for both if anyone wants to fanboy/girl on them at either.

 

My next Brand New show will be my 10th. My goal is when they announce a final tour is to snatch up as many tickets as I can in nearby cities (within 6 hours or so) and then God willing, get tickets to what would be their final show ever. Presumably in Long Island (where I've seen them already). I've already thought about how complicated it will be to get tickets to multiple shows considering how hard it is to get tickets for just one of their shows due to the fact you have to wait in the 'online waiting room' for hours. It's already giving me anxiety.

 

I really hope their final show is somewhere big like MSG. I would drive from Michigan if tickets are reasonable. Some small venue would cause tickets to be insanely priced.

 

I bounce back and forth between wanting both. Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if they do MSG or at least The Coliseum at least one more time.

 

Dream scenario: final show(s) is a two-night run, all GA, camping encouraged, somewhere on Long Island.

That's the Phish fan in me talking.

 

Hope they do it at ommegang

 

I've already decided that I'm going to do everything in my power to attend their last live show, regardless of where it actually is. I will consider it my "journey to Mecca". In that sense, I hope its in some small, whole in the wall club that forces me to get weird with planning. Maybe I try that couch surfing website for a first time or something.

 

I'm going to Birmingham with my mate! May see you there. But then again, she's as indecisive as they come...it'll be a miracle if we make any plans prior to the day!
18 times...that's insane. I'm so jealous - this will be my third. I saw them in 2012 and then I couldn't then see them until last year due to uni sapping my money. Birmingham glee club! Still can't believe I managed to get tickets for that.

 

I'm going to Birmingham, probably getting to the venue a bit earlier to get as close as I can haha

 

Warning - I saw Biffy in 2013. I wanted to see City and Colour mostly. My friend was there for Biffy. He had me queue for 9AM in the morning to get front row. Biffy fans are hardcore. You best get there early!

 

I would assume their final show ever would be at Nassau Coliseum. When they played it in 2009, I remember Jesse saying in interviews how special of a venue that was for him and how meaningful it was to play there in their hometown. I went to the 2009 show, it was probably about 60% full. There were a ton of empty seats in the second bowl (where I was sitting, unfortunately). I drove from Cleveland. It took me 7 hours to get there, and 14 hours on the way back (it was the Sunday after Thanksgiving and EVERYONE was traveling that day).

 

Shit... there's me thinking I could turn up around 4:30/5 and be ok...

 

I'll be at Manchester and Birmingham! Seriously excited as even though I've seen Biffy 5 times already it's never been at their own show. This'll be my 5th and 6th Brand New shows too. Might see a few of you there!

 

I'm going to the Cardiff show next Tuesday. This will be my umpteenth time seeing Biffy and my 3rd time seeing Brand New. Really excited for both, especially if this is the last time Brand New are in the UK.

I missed Biffy on their tour for Opposites, so it'll be good to see some of those songs for the first time too.

 

what's a Phish? but really, this would be incredible.

 

As much as guarantees and promises related to Brand New are irrelevant. I can guarantee you Brand New comes back to the U.K. for a headliner.

 

Yeah I was going to say, they categorically will not end their time in the UK with THIS.

 

I walked into City & Colour on the last tour and the floor area in Birmingham was half empty. I wouldn't be too concerned about getting to the front. I know you guys think Brand New are the main draw but most probably won't be in that early for them. This was at the Birmingham NEC though which is the biggest ballache in the world to get to and from. Thank god they're at the NIA this time.

 

Saw Brand New with Biffy Clyro last night. Was very strange seeing them play such a small set and the crowd were so silent while they played. Very weird to see, comparing it with all the other times I've seen them. I guess was to be expected. There was a lot of people watching them but they were the only support band of the night and I think a lot of people in attendance would've either not heard of them (find hard to believe, but hydro was definitely not full when BN played) or were out buying drinks/merch etc. Either way I stil enjoyed their set. Whenever they play Scotland I take it as a blessing. Haha

 

Oh no I was saying that people came early before the supports for Biffy, at that exact show. There was an enormous queue for that gig. My friend made us go at like 9AM. We were like number 50 at that time. I'm saying in light of that, if you want to be directly at the front you're gonna have to compete with Biffy fans who are queuing at daft times like that, not Brand New fans.

 

I make that 4 of us from the old €urokids thread on AP that have managed to get tickets to different dates on this tour lol, I'm off to the London date next week and I've Just seen Chris's post on FB about going to see them in Aberdeen tonight as well. We really should've organised something for this. Anyways I'm proper stoked to see Brand New Again, I haven't seen them live since Reading 07, plus Biffy always kill it live.
