Say Anything ... Are Back!

[Jason Tate]

Billboard.com (http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id= 1002115049) hung out and reviewed the Say Anything (http://www.absolutepunk.net/sayanything)'s first show last night, you can check that out below. Find a way to see this band live if you can! Dates and tickets are up here (http://sayanything.ducatking.com/).
Rock act Say Anything returned to live duty for the first time in several months last night (March 1) with a show at New York's CBGB. Frontman Max Bemis spent extended time out of commission last fall struggling with bipolar disorder, but now the group is gearing up for a busy spring on the heels of J Records' Feb. 28 expanded reissue of the 2004 Doghouse album, "... Is a Real Boy."

Before a rabid, teenager-dominated crowd last night, Say Anything unveiled a new lineup featuring twin brother guitarists Jake and Jeff Turner (the group also features former Jamison Parker keyboardist/guitarist Parker Case). The show went heavy on material from "... Is a Real Boy," including the tone-setting, confessional opener "Wow I Can Get Sexual Too," "Woe" and "Yellow Cat/Red Cat."

An extensive spring tour kicks off March 9 in Philadelphia and will run through May 11 in Buffalo, N.Y.

I've never seen SA live. Do they play Admit It!!! live?

Oh and is the kid from Lance's Hero still in SA? Alex, I think. I haven't talked to him in years.

They were supposed to be playing it on the headlining tour with Circa before they cancelled. Not sure about the STD tour. I've seen them 2 times and they played it neither time, then again, they opened both times.

And the current line-up is the twins, Coby, Max, and Parker (temp).

[sundaysetsashes]

[DroppedUrPocket]

but a fleeting illness
omg good news.

[djUbilla]

They're playing Yellow Cat/Red Cat live? Oh man, I may need to go see them again, just in the hopes that they'd play it at my date.

[JWS1986]

...seriously

[punkkid1023]

I was at that show at CBGB's and it was absolutely insane. Max was going nuts and the energy level from the crowd was amazing. During Admit It Max put the mic out into the crowd and myself and another guy sang the last chorus. Cant wait to see Say Anything at The Stone Pony too. Great show and Max Bemis and Say Anything is the shit!!!!!

[UrOwNdISaStR180]

Yeah I was at the CB's show too, it was a good show, played pretty much everything I wanted to hear. On a side note some stupid five foot girl decided it's the cool thing to stand up on some sort of box and completely block my view... Cunt

You're from the SA boards, right? Someone from there (miekonairplanes?) IMed me yesterday (my AIM is SoBlackandBlue) thinking I was some chick named Anastasia. He got pretty pissed when I told him I wasn't her and thought I was fucking with him. Haha, random.

[tymsnurmn04]

That song is so underrated.
My personnal fave...it brings to mind all the thrashy moments of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

And I love the "Always remember your first" art

That song is so underrated.

Agreed. That song has so much energy, I would think it would be a favorite to be played live. The solo is pretty short and simple, but it always gets me fired up.

"Here we fucking go!"

[AsheyLarryRXB]

if they play but a fleeting illness when i see them i'll freak out. thats song is so rockin. " NOW DANCE FOR ME YOU FUCKING PUPPET!"

[DroppedUrPocket]

I agree. One of my favorite b-sides. Such a good song.

[poppa Q]

Agreed.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Agreed.

[X__inhope]

Good for him. He's a cool guy. I'll have to say hi (if he still remembers me, ha) when I see them in April. On 4/20 of all days.
I'm sure he will. He is a good dude. I used to do some work for Lances Hero/Science Is A Liar, and now I'm working with him again with Say Anything.

[Zinja]

that's good that parker finally got into a good band again. this lineup will kick ass me thinks.

now parker just needs to go back and reunite astoria.

[muffinstylings]

say anything was amazing. this is a given.

[Greg]
