[RedWineSheets]

first

[RedWineSheets]

anything about a release date?

[SePaMc]

hmmm...was this the free show? but i really hope they play more than that on their summer tour. call me greedy, and i'd agree.

and opening with soco..i've never seen em before, so i dunno if they normally do that or not...but thats weird.

[dretti]

Where is Jude Law?

[Ambulance X]

sweet deal

[YourMusicSucks]

Sex.

[AdamTheBomb21]

Sounds pretty awesome, 14 songs doesn't seem to let me down. Any word on an opener yet?

[Jason Tate]

Where is Jude Law?
Filming a movie?

[Jared Kaufman]

There was no mention of a release date and they were gonna play more, but the school said there was a "curfew" and that they had to finish.

[SePaMc]

Sounds pretty awesome, 14 songs doesn't seem to let me down. Any word on an opener yet?

have u gone into the setlist forum? go look at alk3's tour. sure, they have WAYYY more material, but they are doing 30ish songs, partially acoustic, partially electric, 2.5 hrs.

MCS has 2 albums, they did about 20 on their tour.

And like that kid said...where's Jude Law?

[SePaMc]

There was no mention of a release date and they were gonna play more, but the school said there was a "curfew" and that they had to finish.

7 o'clock is a shitty curfew. But that's good news that they wanted to play more.

Thanks a lot for the speedy update!

[GreenJellyBean]

sweet set.

but yeah, i hope it's a tiny bit longer when i see them.

[ThatGirl]

those poor kids at that show. meh. ok not really. they got to see brand new for the first time in years. but geeze. i feel like they got gipped.

[IAPAI]

Closing with Tommy Gun is awesome.

[tpen892004]

no untitled #5 or 2 damn

[Jason Tate]

those poor kids at that show. meh. ok not really. they got to see brand new for the first time in years. but geeze. i feel like they got gipped.
1) 14 songs, that's more then most CDs.
2) All college shows are short, that's just usually how it goes.

[boekebong]

Looks like a solid set.

Demo 8 huh? BANT!

[Trainsaw]

I'm thinking i should have went to this, all i really did today was play the godfather video game and watch stand by me

[Jason Tate]

Looks like a solid set.

Demo 8 huh? BANT!
:lol:

[djUbilla]

Amazing set. I agree that closing on "Okay, I Believe You" would be killer. That's also pretty cool that they opened with SoCo, but I'm surprised they played the new song second.

Playing a demo leads me to believe that they may include some of the demos on their record contrary to the rumor that none of those would make the final release.

[Trainsaw]

I have Vinne's hat from the show they played in Carboro NC, let the bidding start at....1 million dollars.

[SykoBadger]

As for someone saying we got gipped... don't forget, it was also free. Hard to say you get gipped when you don't pay a dime.

Also, they kept saying on stage that they considered the show a practice for their tour. Which I guess makes sense... except it didn't seem like a practice when they were playing. They rocked. It was a ton of fun, a lot of people showed, more than i expected. The guitarist looked like mario, with his new mustache and wearing a red shirt. Hah.

ps - dan ubilla is gay (jk... sterling pride, *****)

[ACA]

Cool.

Good to hear old stuff you know for the last time before the new material drops.

-ACA

have you ever heard the joke about Radford, Tech, and UVA?

[dekdog11]

amazing
i cant wait

[SykoBadger]

i know one about tech and jmu, but not about radford... enlighten me, please

[XmorganX88]

Fuck I wish I could see this.

[ThatGirl]

1) 14 songs, that's more then most CDs.
2) All college shows are short, that's just usually how it goes.
touche. but at the same time. if thats just practice. i mean. their headlining sets gotta be longer and all. meh. whatever. happy tax day.

[theacademyis]

i'm glad it was good.

[Trainsaw]

i know one about tech and jmu, but not about radford... enlighten me, please
There are 3 guys at a urinal, one from UVA, one from Tech, and one from Radford, the UVA guy finishes and washes his hands once or twice, then the guy from Tech finishes and just throws some water on his hands. The guy from Radford finishes, zips up and gets ready to walk out the door. The other two guys look at him and ask why he didn't wash his hands, he replies "They teach us not to piss on our hands at radford"

its a bad joke, i think its supposed to cut on UVA and Radford.

[SykoBadger]

their headlining sets gotta be longer and all. meh. whatever. happy tax day.

this was their first show in 2 years, give em a break. im sure theyll tear it up when the tour really starts.

[SykoBadger]

that was alright... my best radford joke is that i have a friend that flunked out of radford. i figure that has to take skill.

[djUbilla]

ps - dan ubilla is gay (jk... sterling pride, *****)Aw, you know you make me warm and fuzzy on the inside. I hope you had a killer time, TJ. Do you think there were a lot of non-UVA kids? How was the crowd? Any openers?

[Trainsaw]

that was alright... my best radford joke is that i have a friend that flunked out of radford. i figure that has to take skill.
yeah its pretty hard to flunk out here, i found the joke it goes

The UVA grad finishes up, zips up, walks to the sink, spends two full minutes washing his hands with gobs of soap, and dries his hands with a pile of paper towels. As he leaves, he says loudly, "At UVA, we learned how to be clean and hygenic."

The Tech grad finishes up, zips up, walks to the sink, washing his hands with a minimum of soap and water, and dries his hands with one paper towel. As he leaves, he says, "At Tech, we learned how to be clean, hygenic, and environmentally friendly."

The Radford grad finishes up, zips up, and walks out of the bathroom without washing his hands while muttering to himself, "At Radford, we learned not to piss on our hands."

people use it for JMU also

[SykoBadger]

Aw, you know you make me warm and fuzzy on the inside. I hope you had a killer time, TJ. Do you think there were a lot of non-UVA kids? How was the crowd? Any openers?

uhh, they sure as hell didn't advertise any openers. I know we had a battle of the bands in february, and the winner got to open for springfest... that was before they signed brand new. and maraschino (me, jeff, john, and friend of ours from uva) was in the battle but lost... lame. But yeah, a few people played before them, but i have no idea who any of them were. And i feel like there was more non-uva kids there. i saw james and jen in the pit. we rocked. though the cops tried to break up all the circle pits that formed... haha, uva sucks.

[ThatGirl]

this was their first show in 2 years, give em a break. im sure theyll tear it up when the tour really starts.
that was my point. two sides of a coin. getting to see them first before anyone else or getting to see them in their stride on the headlining tour playing longer sets and all.

[djUbilla]

uhh, they sure as hell didn't advertise any openers.

And i feel like there was more non-uva kids there. i saw james and jen in the pit. we rocked. though the cops tried to break up all the circle pits that formed... haha, uva sucks.Haha...that sucks you guys didn't win. That would have been ridiculous. I figured there'd be more non-UVA kids there. I get the impression that the majority of UVA kids wouldn't get too excited about Brand New.

[SykoBadger]

uva has miserable music taste. freshman year, springfest was better than ezra. last year, it was robert randolph and the family band. I mean, i guess theyre cool and all... but cmon. their heyday was a decade ago. brand new rocked it. all the kids here like jam bands and country.

[Pat Marquez]

I think this was at JHU... and the curfew was because their is a Lacrosse game at 8 or 9 tonight... I think..

[djUbilla]

I think this was at JHU... and the curfew was because their is a Lacrosse game at 8 or 9 tonight... I think..Nah, different show.

[IcedOpethBlind]

:appl: jared

[waggy]

ugh, my excitement for seeing them next week just dropped about 50% or more. don't get me wrong, they put on a great show, but i really wanted to hear new material, and demo 8 is by far my least favorite one. this also seems to dash any hopes of seeing a new album in the near future. (and no jude law or guernica, wtf?)

[Sureshot182]

awesome stuff.

[so typical]

i cant wait

[neo506]

So does this mean demo 8 has a shot of making the record? I assume so.

And how was the new soundcheck song?

[fearthesloths]

sweeet
i love it how peple don't read the posts about how the show ended coz of curfew.. and are still bitching.
im excited for the toronto show. demo 8 is probably my favourite demo and i think it would be pretty awesome full band and not shitty quality, this also leads me to believe that demo 8 has a chance of making it on the album, sweet.

[Trainsaw]

I've never heard of UVA having a curfew this early esp on a saturday, even the students i know that go there said they have never heard of such a thing.

[PunkUncensored]

cannot fucking wait to see them in Detroit, anyone else goin to that show?

[Tom Da Bomb]

does anybody know who is touring with Brand New as support?

Men Women and Children?????????

[poppunkJMUchick]

i was there. the show was freakign amazing. jesse sang and waved to me and i about died. end of story <3


PS. i thought jesse forgetting the words was amazing and hilarious. i think it was during play crack the sky? and i wasnt sure if he really didnt remember seventy times seven or not. but it was freaking amazing anyway you look at it... CANT WAIT FOR NEXT SATURDAY

[Tom Da Bomb]

sweet set.

but yeah, i hope it's a tiny bit longer when i see them.

Oh it will be.
Dont you worry.

[LPMagic]

The wait is almost over.

- Jeff

[leafsacc]

Can't wait for Thursday night.

[neo506]

The wait is almost over.

- Jeff amen to that

[Trainsaw]

is there a release date on the cd yet?

[dukeboy1986]

does anybody know who is touring with Brand New as support?

Men Women and Children?????????

Dude, that's my personal theory of who is going to open...Sweed dude....

[A000lex]

Anyone get any pics or video?

[wtfemokid]

aeee so excited for salve's show.

[neo506]

is there a release date on the cd yet? someone supposedly " was just talking to a dude that runs the UVA springfest crap and he said that in the press package that they recieved when they were booking the band it said their album was to be released June 13."

But take that with a grain of salt

[nfggc10]

I saw that as well but that seems a month or two earlier than what I would expect.

[.mattie.]

I get to see them in june.

[kg00d]

I can't wait for that show in toronto in july

[minusthejosh]

Looks like it was pretty sweet show for being free. Hopefully when I see them they play more and maybe a couple of new songs instead of one.

[JAY TEA]

And like that kid said...where's Jude Law?

england

[nivek87]

There was no mention of a release date and they were gonna play more, but the school said there was a "curfew" and that they had to finish.
the vocals are being finished up and worked on and that the album would prolly be out summer.


I GOT A PICK, totally fan moment!

p.s
brian your dancing kicked mad ass haha

anyone there see dancing guy?

[SykoBadger]

as for this "curfew" business... im sure its just a curfew for outdoor amplified music or something, cause springfest was supposed to end at 7. It's not like people will get arrested if they are out tonight, i dunno if thats what people think... uva aint THAT lame.

[DerekDavies]

I was at the show as well, and I am a member of the concert-planning comittee that put on the show (PK German) and I was also the one who originally championed Brand New as the Springfest headliner, so I'm happy as shit right now.

As for the show, that setlist is accurate (not that it really needed clarification), and despite being a bit rough around the edges, the show was AWESOME, much better than their American University show of a couple years ago but not quite as amazing as their 9:30 Club show. "Sic Transit Gloria" was the definite highlight of the show, but I was really sad that they left "Guernica" off of the setlist. Before the last song Jesse asked the crowd what they wanted to her and almost honored a request for "Jude Law", but after being notified that they only had time for one more song (and they were well aware of the time limit of the show) they opted for "Tommy Gun" instead.

The sound check was the easily the single best sound check I've ever heard, as they played a new song (I don't believe it was one of the leaked demos) that sounded great, and "Demo 8" sounded AWESOME (much heavier and with an awesome riff at the chorus) live with a full band, so I don't think anyone should complain as I'm now really excited to hear a studio version. The inter-song banter was mostly limited to Jesse's discussion of the fact that this was their first show in a year and a half and that they weren't as prepared as they normally were. He asked that the crowd bear with them, but it was still a great show despite this. He made some minor lyrical slip-ups during "Play Crack The Sky", and needed some help remembering the opening to "Seventy Times Seven", which was supplied by the crowd. There was no discussion of the new record (he didn't even acknowledge the fact that they're recording; no "We're recording a new record right now" or "We just recorded a new album" comments or anything).

The best part of the show for me was the band's attitude, and they all just seemed like they were having a great time being back together and performing again. Jesse even slipped in a few smiles during the performances. Other notable moments were the awesome jam sessions on "No Seat Belt Song" and "Good To Know..." (introduced as "a song titled 'Attention' on our setlist" by Jesse).

As for questions regarding the openers, regional band Filomath and DJ Logic were the openers or Spring Fest, but that has no bearing whatsoever on the upcoming tour as Springfest is completely independent of that tour. It was an awesome show, especially since it was free, and I for one didn't feel gipped at all. If anyone has any further questions regarding the show, I'll try to answer questions on this thread, and I'll also be featuring a full review on my website, www.GoodWeatherForAirstrikes.com (http://www.GoodWeatherForAirstrikes.com), by the end of the weekend.

p.s
brian your dancing kicked mad ass haha

anyone there see dancing guy?Ah crap!
You were gonna call me from it.
Did you record some anyway?

[Riki]

Its a warm up :) Give em a chance to get into their stride before we tear them to bits :)

I honestly can't decide which album im more excited about AFI, The Bronx or Brand New.

Sadly I imagine they will do a pretty extensive US tour over the coming months, so us Europeans will have a bit of a wait to see the guys again :(

[YourLatestVicti]

does anybody know who is touring with Brand New as support?

Men Women and Children?????????


MWC won't support the beginning of the tour at the very least. I talked to their drummer and he said they'll be on tour with Panic! when Brand New's summer tour begins. So they may jump on later dates.

[theacademyis]

Actually they're in the UK with panic this coming week

[boringpopsong]

did anyone take any photos/videos/audio?

[RicKy085]

yup, that derek guy pretty much summed up everything i was about to say...the set was short because they started a little before 5:45 and springfest ended at 7, not really a "curfew" i don't think. it did seem that jesse lost track of time and was still planning on playing a few more songs. i think they were about to play jude law but when they told jesse only one more song, he went with the crowd's choice of tommy gun for the last song. not gonna complain because it was a great show and of course free. can't wait to see them again in july.

oh yeah i recorded the show but i'm not sure how it came out. i was right up front but i had no room to move so who knows. it'll probably be really staticy (stupid recorder does that when its being hit from all directions lol)..so unless someone knows how to remove static like that (which i don't) it might not sound too great

edit: and yeah i took 6 photos but 3 are on my phone

[crzydrmmer]

ahhhhhhh full demo 8

[minusthejosh]

I would like to see demo 7 played live or more fleshed out.

[sweetforever]

I'd love to see demo 9 live. one of my favorites of the demos

[BrandNizzle]

just got back from the show...and all i gotta say is that the first new song they played for the soundcheck was incredible. and demo 8 sounded pretty kickass with a full band. i was hoping for more songs, but it's not like complaining about a free show is gonna get me anywhere.

[NotForTheThrill]

any chance of getting that online? or at least send it to me over aim, i dont care how staticy it is. my screenname is: Cpd4224. send it to me plz?

[KidLightning]

Filming a movie?
I was gonna say "banging his nanny" but filming a movie works too.

[Luckie St]

that show was so sick. i stood by jared but didn't say hi cause i didn't wanna seem like a weirdo haha. he just chilled and sidekicked the set list the whole time.

[SVBrightEye]

I'd like to see absolutely no new stuff. I'd rather them play all of their previously released stuff because once their new stuff does come out then more old songs get dropped from the set lists.

[Jared Kaufman]

that show was so sick. i stood by jared but didn't say hi cause i didn't wanna seem like a weirdo haha. he just chilled and sidekicked the set list the whole time.

Haha. Dude! You should've said "hi." Where were you next to me? What were you wearing? I only used my Kick to write down the song names and take a couple pics, otherwise I was going nuts and singing-a-long.

[loudpunkguitar]

ive never been a huge brand new fan, but i was at the show tonight with "luckie st" chillin, and the show was great, i loved it, and like the band a lot more after this.

[resUrectMe617]

wow so the pants are totally wet. i cannot WAIT until thursday.

[daBNmaradona]

You guys remember this update from brand new back on July 2, 2005??

"What happened was we holed up in a house all winter with the guitars and the amps and the keyboards and trombones and things and also MenWomenAndChildren (http://www.menwomenandchildren.com/) were there and we all were writing songs, playing all the EA Street games and weathering THE STORM that was snow as well as our bands. They kept everything they wrote because they are indiscriminate dance-a-holics and because everything they do is perfect, and we kept one song. The working title is "yeah" and the the refrain goes, "...YEAH!" and the middle eight is more like the chorus and it's got some loud guitars going on."

I dont know if this has been mentioned before, but hes talking about DEMO 8 right??

[ryheeles]

i can't wait to see them. too bad i have to wait 2 months since the one next saturday sold out hella fast

[pretty_in_punk3]

Where is Jude Law?

best brand new song ever.

[daBNmaradona]

Jared, will you upload pictures from the show with your review?

[hot time in DE]

so now im really excited for this saturday.. like i wasnt before but you get the idea

[Jared Kaufman]

Jared, will you upload pictures from the show with your review?
http://www.hiptop.com/hiplog/read/4/7202/

Please remember these were taken with a Sidekick; I couldn't really zoom in obviously.

[Jared Kaufman]

so now im really excited for this saturday.. like i wasnt before but you get the idea
I'll be at that show too.

[daBNmaradona]

It would be amazing to see them play "play crack the sky" live. both times i've seen them, they haven't played it.

[chokeychicken]

there were a shitload of kids dancing. true, it's not really "appropriate," but it was really cool nonetheless. instead of a bunch of frat assholes (we chased them all away), you had a bunch of kids flipping out and dancing. kids went NUTS during seventy times seven (i know i fucking did). there was even a mini-pile on in the pit during "so is that what you call a getaway."

i drove from richmond, and it was well worth my time. easter weekend was a great one to choose, less people there to be there, and more kids there to see the music. setlist was fine; not sure about the whole curfew thing, but jesse said they were being forced to cut the set short; they seemed like they wanted to play a thousand more songs.

everytime i looked at the drummer, he was fucking smiling and laughing. awesome stuff.

i cannot WAIT until next saturday.

[Luckie St]

Haha. Dude! You should've said "hi." Where were you next to me? What were you wearing? I only used my Kick to write down the song names and take a couple pics, otherwise I was going nuts and singing-a-long.

haha. word i was to your left like right by you. i had on the blue shirt and i was pretty tall.

[chokeychicken]

oh ps i hacked into jared's sidekick while he was "freaking out and singing along."

weiner pictures to come soon.

thank you :) :)

[RicKy085]

yeah i was surprised they played it...first time hearing it live. i was not disappointed

[Jared Kaufman]

Vinnie has a fucking mustache??? hahah thats awesome.
Haha. Yeah. Someone in this thread already said he looked like Mario; however, it totally gave me more of a 70s pornstar vibe.

[bigheadmike]

I just got back from the show I was up there all day and man charlottesvile is boring no offense but it was worth the wait. Even though they did seem a bit lost from time to time i.e. forgetting "...had to go write a song just to remind myself how bad it sucked' in seventy times seven but it was just great to see them live again i have not seen them since dashboard, Mxpx tour years ago and dancing guy during Dj Logic was way more entertaining than watching DJ put the needle down on records and standing there

then a whole group of people started dancing with him including that bumble bee mascot (what was that about?)...hilarious

[Jared Kaufman]

haha. word i was to your left like right by you. i had on the blue shirt and i was pretty tall.
Are both your ears pierced and were you with a couple?

[bigheadmike]

bumble bee dude was kick ass dont hate chicks dug bumble bee dude... But yea and every single person was turned around watching the dancing and no one was watching the stage shirtless bandana dude where did he come from

Yesssss @ them playing Play Crack the Sky. I hope they keep doing it on the summer tour. Fantastic set, especially with those specific YFW songs on there including Seventy Times Seven (totally thought it had been retired for sure). Sweet! Can't wait for the review Jared and if there are videos added someone, make a new thread on it please. Thanks for the setlist. :)

[sparksfly]

no seatbelt song=<3<3<3<3

[mybreakingpoint]

wow

i am so glad they're back

i seriously can't wait to see them

[SLADE775]

hahahahaha

How pathetic.

:p

[Jared Kaufman]

hahahahaha

How pathetic.

:p
You? True.

[domesticyeti]

i think its a good set list, especially considering the time got cut. otherwise im sure they would've done Jude Law, Guernica and some others.

[fairview00]

Closing with Tommy Gun is awesome.

eh i like when the close with 70x7

[Save my day]

This was a letdown, this set's pretty similar to the last time I saw them...


in 2003. But it's brand new, so I'm excited.

[DaTBoiDaN]

My review of the show.
Brand new started out with a sound check playing a new song that left me in awe. The only way I can describe it was it sounded stadium huge. Everything from the drumming to Jesse’s vocals had a very full and urgent sound to it. After that they played untitled 8 which was not one of my favorites when hearing the demos. In fact, Its one of the songs I really hoped wouldn’t make it to the new CD if any did. After hearing it with the full band though I have to say I changed my mind. Jesse puts so much more emotion into the singing and Vins lead really shines in the full band version. The band said this was kind of a practice/warm up show for them and it showed. That’s not a bad thing necessarily. They still played amazing, but made a few mistakes (like playing the first part of the bridge in jaws too many times and forgetting lyrics to play crack to the sky) you wouldn’t normally expect to see. It was just a lot of fun watching them back in action to tell you the truth. The only things I wish they had done that they didn’t would be to play a few more new tracks and definitely give us more info about the release date for the new CD. Overall, the 3 hour trip was more than worth it and I think its safe to say that we can expect huge things from Brand News new CD. Be excited.

[Tmovielife16]

I have Vinne's hat from the show they played in Carboro NC, let the bidding start at....1 million dollars.

haha, someone stole his shoe at a show in philly a couple years ago, he mentioned it on the next tour when they came back too, good times

[shibbyshoo]

the show was amazing

but the song they played for sound check was amazinger

[whipcream4teen]

i like the setlist. hope they play something similiar on the summer tour. esp. soco and play crack the sky.

there's some sweet ass pictures in my new myspace blog:

You guys remember this update from brand new back on July 2, 2005??

"What happened was we holed up in a house all winter with the guitars and the amps and the keyboards and trombones and things and also MenWomenAndChildren (http://www.menwomenandchildren.com/) were there and we all were writing songs, playing all the EA Street games and weathering THE STORM that was snow as well as our bands. They kept everything they wrote because they are indiscriminate dance-a-holics and because everything they do is perfect, and we kept one song. The working title is "yeah" and the the refrain goes, "...YEAH!" and the middle eight is more like the chorus and it's got some loud guitars going on."

I dont know if this has been mentioned before, but hes talking about DEMO 8 right??

Alright, yeah, they were definitely talking about "Demo 8" with regards to the "Yeah" working title, as I saw the setlist, and on it the first song was referred to as "Yeah".

[starsonstrings]

& oh yeah.
i was one of the dancing guys.
the one in the white polo to be precise.
(yes, i know the collar was popped)

[Luckie St]

Are both your ears pierced and were you with a couple?

haha no i was like RIGHT to your left for the 2nd half of the show. I had a blue "washington soccer" shirt on and cargo shorts. we both tossed that crowd surfer chick pretty far.

[Jared Kaufman]

Oh! Haha! We kinda gave each other "the look" that we were proud of how far we threw her. Awesome!

[bust_a_move]

those are pretty much all my favorite songs.

(home sweet home) haha

what a day

the vids and pics came out awesome, every hour standing at the baracade was worth it

[nivek87]

oh ya when we talked with vinnie he said that they wouldnt be touring with mw&c on the summer tour and that mw&c already had summer plans.

The merch dude told one guy that vocals were being finished up and expect an album some time during the summer.

[com(?)]

only one new song? poor

[nivek87]

maybe if you werent there you would think so. 2 new songs, old awesome songs, and it was free
it was amazing

POST GUYS!

[zbrmike79]

cant wait til thursday.... so excited to see them play

[One Aware]

I was at the show. Jesse Lacey pretty much didn't want to be there. At one point on stage when the fans requested "Seventy..." b/c they had no more songs "practiced" to play, (note: he had actually forgotten the lyrics, as well as music to), he then turned around and said to his bandmates, "I don't like it anymore than you guys do but it's our JOB, we have to play."

WHO SAYS THAT!?!

And at the beginning of the show he started by himself and made a shitty comment, "Well am I just gonna do this all by myself?" Waiting for his band members to come out.

And I like Brand New, so this all coming from a fan - pretty big let down.

i was there too, and jesse looked like he was having a fun time. i think the band in general were disapointed there werent more faces in the crowd from when i talked to vinnie, he was like, are uva students only allowed to come or something? jesse was laughing on stage and having a good time, making fun of himself for messing up and cracking jokes to vin. i think part of the reason they dont like seventy times 7 has to deal with the whole tbs thing being over and the song doesnt have meaning to them anymore. stop crying, we REQUESTED it and they PLAYED it, give the world a break. and to the last thing you said, a lot of jokes are said on stage. if that was a pretty big let down, thats sad. they did play music too, ass.

[1Roth4]

i just got tickets to the toronto show for my birthday

what a nice suprise from the girlfriend eh?

pretty sure they dont have any names

[iHATEapril]

You'd be right.

[surfwaxsideshow]

five is supposedly called Cleanser and eight is Yeah. The title of five is known because in an interview a little while back they said their favorite new song was a seven minute one called Cleanser...so unless they've been working on a few epic songs then it's likely that one will make the album too.

[Mobames]

anyone have a video of the demo song? or maybe the soundcheck?

The title of five is known because in an interview a little while back they said their favorite new song was a seven minute one called Cleanser...so unless they've been working on a few epic songs then it's likely that one will make the album too.

On Wikipedia, it says that 5 is actually not titled cleanser, that was just a mistake based on references jesse made on a radio interview about an 8 minute song and since 5 is almost 8 minutes someone thought it was cleanser or something.

I don't know if that's actually the truth but I just throught I'd put it out there.

[nivek87]

You seem to have a malfunctioning sarcasm detector.

[starsonstrings]

and you all werent even there when brand new did their FIRST sound check. they jammed these two amazing songs for a few minutes each.

but that first one they opened with it's called "yeah" on the setlist (that i have) was just incredible. me and kevin were just looking at each other like "is this srsly happening"

btw, i got the FULL video of Play Crack the Sky up on my myspace videos (http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individua l&videoid=659341750&n=2). the ending gives me goosebumps.

[camp7NdN]

Show could've been better - First they were plagued with audio issues - though the new song was fuckin rockin whatever its called - His acoustic stuff Like "Water in my Lungs" made my girl melt. Good Job Jesse - All in All could've been better but really understood because that was the first show in a long time ---- P

[heytheredelilah]

yeah uh it's pretty sweet although i would have loved to see jude law or failure by design but if they play 70 and the rest of the old songs i'm good--ugh good new song nice!

dammit..what time were the first soundchecks? i woke up at 11 and planned on getting there at noon for the start just in caseof anything like that and to anticipate time lost finding the place (30 minutes this time haha) but i didn't end up leavin til 2 fucking 30

[starsonstrings]

i got there right at noon.
my friend sara and i were the very first ones at the stage.
(after a quick trip to the moon bounce! yesss!!)
(i know what you're thinking...brand new AND moonbounces? fuck yes)
they started setting up around 1/1:30 and did a check around 2 or 2:30. so you had probably just missed it.
i tried calling kevin so he could hear it but he didnt answer.
but they were pretty beast jams.

[nfggc10]

Does anybody remember any lyrics from the song they did during the soundcheck?

[BrandNizzle]

Does anybody remember any lyrics from the song they did during the soundcheck?


The first line of the song was 'Giving up on sex'....and I think the chorus had 'I can't do this on my own.' - and that line was literally belted at the top of Jesse's lungs. It sounded unlike anything they had ever written before, and me and my friends' jaws were dropped for most of the song. I was the dude in the faded purpley/blue Boston Red Sox hat.

i guess we feel completly differently again. it felt much more personal, it was fun seeing them mess around and have a good time.

p.s
THE SHOW WAS FREE, we got to see them practice and perform, thats something i only wish more bands would do

[kidinthecorner]

The best song I've ever seen live, in my life, was Tautou right before Christmas of 200...3 or 4, I forget. They played it unbelievably slow, and dragged it out for at least 5 minutes, probably longer. Jesse wandered over to the speakers to create feedback for a while, and just set the mood so well. I was amazed, and it gave me a new love for a song I almost always skipped over before that show.

Yes, the show was free, but Brand New got paid to perform. As a band, wouldn't you want to sound your best before playing a show? Brand New played very well, but they could have been better.

[Nate_RAWKS]

I have to wait till July 22 to see Brand New...That seems like decades away right now....

Closing with Tommy Gun (which is my favorite song) is to die for....i hope they do that in Toronto.

I'm sorry that I don't sweat Brand New's nuts as much as you, but I like to see bands perform at their best ability.

You know they have been working on an album recently, so i dont think they were really worrying about band practice, esspecially when there tour doesnt begin for another 2 months. i wish you could have made it nfggc10

yea me too, I just wish people could appreciate just being able to see their first show in 2 years. They were obviously not going to be as sharp as normal but from what I've heard from true fans the band played pretty well considering everything and had fun.

[starsonstrings]

i sure thought so

likewise.
they we good spirited about it.
and im pretty sure the remarks they made like "its our job" were just being sarcastic.
cmon kids.

The best song I've ever seen live, in my life, was Tautou right before Christmas of 200...3 or 4, I forget. They played it unbelievably slow, and dragged it out for at least 5 minutes, probably longer. Jesse wandered over to the speakers to create feedback for a while, and just set the mood so well. I was amazed, and it gave me a new love for a song I almost always skipped over before that show.


i agree. when i saw their record release show in nyc in 03.. they opened the show with that song. it was amazing, i had chills. you're completely on point; the song sets the mood perfectly. i never ever skip that intro anymore.

The opinions of "true fans" are clouded; they're always going to tell you a band was awesome. The show was good, but it had its flaws. If you haven't played a show in 2 years, wouldn't you spend more time PRACTICING for it?

[smogs]

sounds like a great show.


im so mad, i think the san francisco show in july is already sold out.
at least thats what ticketmaster is telling me.

[bigheadmike]

cannot wait till tbs at the norva and for the person who did not understand why they were saying "its our job'' to play 70 x 7 was because of how out of shape they were you could tell they were struggling physically its also why they said of this is gonna suck before sic... but brand new tsl cartel on wed and tbs on fri makes for a great week

[unbelievable]

I was lucky enough to attend this show last night as well. It was obvious Jesse wasn't as into the music as he was the countless times I've seem Brand New in the past. I had the opportunity to speak with Jesse after the show to ask him about the band and here's a brief summary of what he had to say. "Our upcoming release will be the last Brand New album." I was about as surprised as all of you probably are just reading this.

[backstagebethy]

ahhh haha all these little things about the show are amazing
the security guards
the soundchecks early afternoon
that was such a great way to spend my saturday

and i'm doing the tbs (thursday and) friday/brand new saturday thing as well, should be phenom

Are you serious!?!?!?

[brandnizzle2419]

i dont think anyone has to seriously worry about them playing jude law because its their favorite song to play live. and apparently they play guernica a lot so i think thats a good bet too. as soon as tix come out for anywhere thats remotely close to stl im buying the shit outta like seven.

This is extremely disappointing if true. I'd like to hear more of this before I believe it though, no offense meant of course.

hey, where and when was this free show that everyone has been talking about in this post that already happened? Seems like people were mentioning UVA, but I'm just curious

yo what did you use to record that? i'm about to buy a new digital camera and that looks like a great investment

I'm not saying people are brainwashed, but it can be hard to critically look at a band's performance when you're a superfan.
