Seeing these boys tomorrow

 

So excited

 

I was thinking/hoping the same thing

 

Is there an actual recorded version of Beako’s “Casey?” I’ve always wanted to hear it and my searching has turned up nothing.

 

Their latest IG post seems to imply that they'll be playing before Frank Turner, and Lucero will take the shorter set.

 

I really hope they’re direct support tonight. Can’t wait for the show.

 

Side-note, I'm seeing that Frank Turner's been closing his sets with the Songbook-version of "Polaroid Picture"...not sure how I feel about it. The original version is waaaay better. Otherwise, his setlist has been pretty good

 

All the Frightened Rabbit between sets is a really cool touch but it’s got me all emotional

 

Menzos played before Frank last night, which was awesome. Greg’a amp was having issues most of the set though. They sounded great regardless. “Toy Soldier” is fun live.

 

Maybe they should just bump them to direct support for the rest of the tour

 

I absolutely love the Songbook “Polaroid Picture” so I am okay with this.

 

I didn't get to hear this as a closer (I was hoping it would grow on me hearing it live), my gf and I left after "Photosynthesis" b/c she wasn't feeling well. The new songs all sound much better in a live setting than on record though. He played:
1933
Little Changes
MAGA
Brave Face
Be More Kind
and Blackout

Aside from his typical set staples, it was really cool to hear “Father’s Day” “Tattoos” and “St. Christopher’s Coming Home” as well.

 

Wow even with the extended set and bump up to direct they didn't play In Remission very wild

 

Yeah that was kinda weird

 

I was honestly kind of happy about it. It’s a good song but it’s never been one of my favorites.

 

I mean, In Remission is objectively one of the best set closers ever.

 

Yeah but they added Mexican Guitars so amazingly still an upgrade.

 

2 weeks until I finally get to see these guys.

 

Yeah it's perfect

 

they played In Remisson at Gov Ball oddly enough

 

Just saw them in Orlando tonight. They announced that they're playing FEST this year. Don't know if this is new to the set - but they also played Toy Soldier.

 

They are coming back to the UK in August just before my birthday but tickets are £30 and I don't like the supports (last time we had PUP and Cayetana, this time Ladwagon and the Flatliners are support). Bummed.

 

But the Flats are dope!

Also never have listened to Lagwagon really but I should

 

Lagwagon, Menz, and Flats is an absolute awesome lineup. I would be at that show in a heartbeat.

 

Eh I don't like Ladwagon and I haven't ever really listened to The Flatliners, and for that price I won't be able to convince my friends.
