it makes for better excitement.

[mrzippo3]

as usual, east coast gets the ol fucked in the ass

[cora_ann]

Holy Canoli! That's awesome. I wonder who the support will be...

[Gabe Gross]

way to time the release and the tour date in NY...

i kinda hope this leaks so i can know whether the album is good enough to go to the concert on the 3rd. whatev

[albatrossxivy]

if the support is good ill be @ the ny date

[last light]

[Greg]

fucking hell

i guess ill go to cleveland

[unwritten]

"Taking Sack Sunday" hehe

[stay out late]

umm UT's not in dallas...

[DroppedUrPocket]

And April just got that much better.

Here's to hoping for some badass openers.

[backstagebethy]

eek! <333
oddly enough, i'll be seeing them exactly one year from the last time i saw them. nice.

[reveriecowboy]

Is it weird that the night TBS plays at UMBC in Baltimore

is the same night that Brand New plays at Johns Hopkins, 5 minutes away?

Just a query...


p.s. I'm still seeing Brand New over TBS (JHU love)

[paul manley]

avalon huh? the boston show is the day before bamboozle starts. so depending when i am going to nj, maybe i'll go to this if there are good openers

[yeah]

umm UT's not in dallas...

i was just thinking that...but isn't there a UT Dallas?

[chcougar1]

april 4th in portland sweet....this makes my life better...I wanted to see james blunt but it sold out ...I will go to TBS that night instead:)

[chcougar1]

i've never understood why everyone considers this band to be "good"


If this is a TBS/Brand New Tour I will pee myself

[Caleb Cattivera]

i think i smell a week or so of tokyo rose support.

[boekebong]

where the hell is the boulder theater?

You're kidding, right? The BOULDER Theater.

ill prob go to HOB, last time they played there it was pretty good...of course that was 3 years ago...

Last time I saw them was at the Palladium with Saves the Day. That was a quality show right there.

[Frank Giaramita]

If this is a TBS/Brand New Tour I will pee myself
There's a better chance of Elvis playing this tour than Brand New...

[shagelific]

Irving Plaza release party!!! I'm so there.

me too. but it would be nice of them to visit us right off the bat. such a wait.

[Jared Kaufman]

CRAP! I didn't realize it was the same day until you said that! What to do, what to do? :(

[DroppedUrPocket]

CRAP! I didn't realize it was the same day until you said that! What to do, what to do? :(
oh snap.

[Geoff Lou]

umm UT's not in dallas...


For real man that's what I'm thinkin'

4/12 - Dallas, TX @ The University of Texas???

No Austin date either???

[projectmayhem16]

the million dollar question, which will Jared choose?

[boekebong]

There's a better chance of Elivs playing this tour than Brand New...

But Elvis is dea...oh, I see where you were going with that.

[dukeboy1986]

Wow, thats crazy they are playing Greene Street, that place is TINY, maybe holds 600

[RedWineSheets]

CRAP! I didn't realize it was the same day until you said that! What to do, what to do? :(

Are you kidding me? Brand New plays there first show for the first time in like basically a year and half and you are having trouble deciding what show to go to?

[RedWineSheets]

Wow, thats crazy they are playing Greene Street, that place is TINY, maybe holds 600

I was thinking the same thing. Should be fun.

[reveriecowboy]

I know! Sorry Jared, but you do have me hyped for the new TBS! Decisions, decisions!

Basically, this is the first Brand New show in a hella long while, so it makes no sense to see TBS.

TBS will tour some more for their new album, but BN, man, once in a lifetime show... that is all.

[DroppedUrPocket]

But Elvis is dea...oh, I see where you were going with that.
I can definitely imagine Brand New pulling a Weekend At Bernies with Elvis' corpse.

[dukeboy1986]

I was thinking the same thing. Should be fun.

word, that it will be my man

[RedWineSheets]

word, that it will be my man

Did you see that Thursday, Minus the Bear and mewithoutyou are coming to ziggys. haha its going to fall to the ground, its basically a barn.

[ACA]

Insanity.. TBS was just in an arena tour. Now they're in 1000-person venues. This WILL sell out instantly.

-ACA

[boekebong]

I can definitely imagine Brand New pulling a Weekend At Bernies with Elvis' corpse.

I'd probably pay to see it.

[projectmayhem16]

Did you see that Thursday, Minus the Bear and mewithoutyou are coming to ziggys. haha its going to fall to the ground, its basically a barn.tour of the year as far as I'm concerned

[DroppedUrPocket]

I'd probably pay to see it.
Hell, Brand New and an Elvis corpse puppet show.

[Trainsaw]

I'll probably hit it up at the Norva, wow 116 people viewing this thread, i guess TBS still has a big fanbase

[shagelific]

Basically, this is the first Brand New show in a hella long while


did they confirm that? i really want to know before i have to get tickets or whatever.

[punkrockcasual]

4/22 - Baltimore, MD @ UMBC RAC Arena

Haha, the same exact day Brand New are playing in Baltimore @ John Hopkins!

[Frank Giaramita]

Are you kidding me? Brand New plays there first show for the first time in like basically a year and half and you are having trouble deciding what show to go to?
That's what I said to him:

rwetkerlktgm (1:59:02 PM): youre an idiot
rwetkerlktgm (1:59:07 PM): do you realize what youre deciding on
jayrod8402 (1:59:16 PM): haha
jayrod8402 (1:59:18 PM): whatcha mean?
rwetkerlktgm (1:59:19 PM): youre deciding on a band that hasnt played in two years and this is their first show back, or a band that tours constantly every single month

[RedWineSheets]

did they confirm that? i really want to know before i have to get tickets or whatever.

its on their website. so im pretty sure that its true.

[Jared Kaufman]

I'll probably hit it up at the Norva, wow 116 people viewing this thread, i guess TBS still has a big fanbase
I think I might just go to The Norva show -- that I believe is a pretty small venue. The one in Baltimore is at an arena, not sure why it's in such a bigger venue. Anyway, this way I can see TBS in a small place and the next night go see BN.

Yeah, I'm upset that I'll miss TBS in an extremely small venue, but it's Brand New. Plus, I'm seeing them in NJ for Bamboozle.

[ThatGirl]

Wow, thats crazy they are playing Greene Street, that place is TINY, maybe holds 600
its a 550 capacity venue. But its still a sweet fucking venue for it. Thatll be a great show. and as for the 550 they can fit closer to 700 in there if they wanted.

[Shatter_Glass]

Green-f'n-Street

Theres a possibilty I'll be at the Norva, its a medium sized venue by the way. Its by no means small but its not huge either.

[GreenJellyBean]

the troc. hell yeahhh. and on a sunday so i can wait in line all day. very happy.

[poppunkJMUchick]

are you freaking kididng me? WHY WOULD THEY COME TO MD the SAME DAY AS BRAND NEW!

[shagelific]

its on their website. so im pretty sure that its true.

i went on their site and could only find the actual date. it still doesnt say if its the first one. :( dont play with me like that

[RedWineSheets]

Green-f'n-Street

I'd love to go that the Greene Street show but its just realistic to drive from Greenville to Greensboro and back the same night(6 hours). Theyll be at the Norva on Friday the next night so that would make more sense.

[Jared Kaufman]

are you freaking kididng me? WHY WOULD THEY COME TO MD the SAME DAY AS BRAND NEW!
Do what I'm doing -- Go see them at The Norva in Norfolk on Friday (April 21st) and then go see Brand New on Saturday (April 22nd) in Baltimore.

[RedWineSheets]

i went on their site and could only find the actual date. it still doesnt say if its the first one. :( dont play with me like that

im pretty sure they wont play a show before then. I could be wrong, wouldnt be the first time.

[Gabe Gross]

im really glad jared figured that all out...reading this thread was like an afternoon one-man soap opera

[RedWineSheets]

are you freaking kididng me? WHY WOULD THEY COME TO MD the SAME DAY AS BRAND NEW!

your avatar confused me, I thought I had typed this, plus our sigs look the same? haha

[Jentheoptimist]

I hope KROQ, CA doesn't announce the CA date, because it will then become impossible to get tickets.

[FatJordan]

I've never seen them live...are they really all that great?

[dave vegan]

wow, greene st. that could be interesting.

[poppunkJMUchick]

Do what I'm doing -- Go see them at The Norva in Norfolk on Friday (April 21st) and then go see Brand New on Saturday (April 22nd) in Baltimore.
yeah i might have too. i literally almost had a heart attack tho. sooo much driving. STUPID COLLEGE!

[poppunkJMUchick]

I've never seen them live...are they really all that great?


i've seen them a gazillion times before and after john and all that. i think they are awesome and have really gotten better with thier live show. its just like the most exciting thing ever. i have literally almost passed out and thrown up after 2 songs because i just got so excited

[lesto17]

CRAP! I didn't realize it was the same day until you said that! What to do, what to do? :(


Jared, make the hike down to the NORVA to see TBS and up to MD to see Brand New the next day. It could quite possibly be the best two days of your life. I have to check my exam schedule and what not, but thats what I'm going to try to do.

EDIT: Just saw your post....good call.

[ACA]

Haha..

Taking Back Sunday is so sloppy live. They are very fun (which comes strictly from their songs, not their performance).

They are better now live without John: not as an insult to John, but in the time since every band member has tightened up a lot. TBS's strings (bass and two guitars) are usually solid, but the drumming is often questionable and the vocals (hey, you, Adam) are very sloppy.

I've seen them a lot of times with and without John, and I can say they are getting so much better. But you can't compare them to a band like Thursday who simply performs incredibly live.

Thursday is probably one of the most intense, moving live shows I've ever seen.

But to me, even though they don't sound perfect, TBS is one of my favorite bands to see live, especially in a smaller setting. There's just something about the crowd being so packed, close and swaying back and forth screaming all the lyrics in unison. It's the atmosphere and experience more than anything I suppose.

[ACA]

Thursday is probably one of the most intense, moving live shows I've ever seen.

I completely agree.

-ACA

[weworemasks]

umm UT's not in dallas...

yeah there is a UT in dallas. theres one in arlington, theres a UT in san antonio ( i went there last year) and el paso, and houston. they are everywhere.

yeah i might have too. i literally almost had a heart attack tho. sooo much driving. STUPID COLLEGE!
skip seeing brand new. they are horrible live. when it comes to music, brand new is much better. but in terms of live show, its a no contest.

[xearlynovemberx]

if the support is good ill be @ the ny date

ditto

[Sureshot182]

CRAP! I didn't realize it was the same day until you said that! What to do, what to do? :(
brand new. that doesn't even take a second thought.

[Let's get away.]

the field house in rochester?!?! wtfffff

[70x7]

I guess Adam wants to play a hometown show closer to High Point than Cat's Cradle or Tremont.

[RedWineSheets]

His dad used to ALWAYs be at Aces Basement. No matter what band or show it was, there he would be, with his black atticus t-shirt.

[ACA]

I can't wait to hear support for this. I can't really begin to even speculate.

-ACA

[ThriftWhore]

Irving Plaza! Record Release Show!

*died*

[DroppedUrPocket]

I love TBS live. Just a lot of fun and TAYF rules.

[backstagebethy]

this is one of those times it's amazing to be in central va...i can hit greene st. and norva, then brand new @ johns hopkins...okay, then probably tbs in pennsylvania...

[jrtbighurt]

the field house in rochester?!?! wtfffff
This is on RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) campus...its going to be the best show they've ever booked here.

[oldprospector]

I don't know if anyone else noticed this but TBS is playing in the same city (Baltimore), differnet venue as Brand New on 4/22...DRAMA! haha

[com(?)]

4/22 - Baltimore, MD @ UMBC RAC Arena


My birthday. If only I lived in MD, wherever the hell that is.

[One Aware]

I think I might just go to The Norva show -- that I believe is a pretty small venue. The one in Baltimore is at an arena, not sure why it's in such a bigger venue. Anyway, this way I can see TBS in a small place and the next night go see BN.

Hey Jared,

This is John Murnane (SN: One Aware), we met at the Azmara Cafe before the TAI...P!@ show in D.C. Anyway, I performed at The NorVa a solo acoustic set last Friday in Norfolk, VA and it's definitely an amazing venue. I grew up in Virginia Beach and went to shows there all throughout high school and it's got an amazing sound system, it's really nice, & intimate.

I highly recommend you going to that date instead. Great shows.

[siren eyes]

avalon huh? the boston show is the day before bamboozle starts. so depending when i am going to nj, maybe i'll go to this if there are good openers
umm yeah - to make it to nj from maine by like 12am - there's no way i can go to this show and the avalon would be amazing!!! seeing them at bamboozle just wont be the same. UGH.

here's to hoping they do another smaller venue tour.

[ActorInThisPlay]

ill prob go to HOB, last time they played there it was pretty good...of course that was 3 years ago...
yeah i will go if the support is good...

[dumbcorey]

fuck taking back sunday and never coming to KC.

[btbam > you]

[sparksfly]

[MrBaileySays]

[blimpcityhero11]

woo! i'll be there in cleveland...it'll sell out quick at our house of blues considering the venues so small, but you guys can argue over brand new and tbs...northeast ohio never gets the good concerts so i'll take what i can get

[emptyvictory]

Wow, thats crazy they are playing Greene Street, that place is TINY, maybe holds 600

Actually 500 and it should feel like your own TBS show--great venue and can't wait to hear the support they will have

[olemanblues]

show in Grensboro at Greene Street--ohhhh how sweet it is--congrats to Joe Ferguson, Kenny and all the Greene Street staff

[applestoandrew]
