Brand New Finishes Album (I Still Love You, Mark Cuban)

[Paul Tao]

I was told that at Brand New (http://www.absolutepunk.net/brandnew)'s show tonight, they announced that they finished the new album completely yesterday.

[poppa Q]

We'll see when we hear a release date.

I was told that at Brand New (http://www.absolutepunk.net/brandnew)'s show tonight, they announced that they finished recording the new album yesterday.
this is old news paul....brian announced on their website that the new album was about to enter the mixing process

[grace we bestow]

They just started mixing a few weeks ago? I don't know how long that takes, but yeah. Hmmm. Either way this is good news.

[nfggc10]

We'll see when we hear a release date.
street team page says late sept/early oct

[Paul Tao]

this is old news paul....brian announced on their website that the new album was about to enter the mixing process
Sorry, I meant finished the whole album as in everything.

[dekdog11]

i like the title of the thread
go heat!!!! :)

[GreenJellyBean]

someone should post the setlist.

[Spiffysthebest]

As in yesterday yesterday?

[murphy77]

yay!

i have been patiently waiting for a long time (i know all you have too) and im really excited to hear this

[crit]

i got a text message from my friend who was there...he said they played demos 6, 8 and 9. he also said the set consisted of mostly deja, and about 4 songs from yfw.

[simonz]

please father my children jesse

[neo506]

"and now we play the waiting game" /family guy

[Adeniz19]

good to hear but i don't consider any brand new new's to be news unless it's a release date.

[xearlynovemberx]

thank god

[theacademyis]

Jesse said they finished recording it last night though I assume that means mixing. They played Yeah (demo 8), demo 6 with new lyrics and sped up a lot, and demo 7. LET ME SET THE PICTURE FOR YOU.

Garrett Tierney on a rickenbacker bass guitar. Brian Lane on drums. Vinnie Accardi on piano. Derrick Sherman (I think that was him, right?) on more drums and Jesse Lacey singing at the microphone with an effects pedal basically in his hands. It was incredible. They added a bridge to that song.

[BarrelIsPointed]

....it just now got done?!

[dashboard1190]

Can't wait for tonight.

[overoverme]

Did they play demo 7 (take it easy tigers...) or demo 9 (we're burning our own tonight).
We have conflicting reports.

I can't wait to see them again.
Even though I saw them twice in April...

New stuff, and they must be excited to be touring again....

[Rest_Easy]

I was going to submit this too. damn. Yep they said they are finished.
The last 2 songs played i believe were 70*7 and play crack the sky.

i love Me vs maradona vs elvis

[sizablescarsxx]

haha i submitted this a few minutes ago.
the only thing missing from the set, mainly, was jude law.
seventy times 7 was fucking intense. guitar toss and all.

[End is Forever]

I'm excited, sounds awesome and promising. My number one album spot is saved for them whenever they release something.

[Spicoli hey bud]

i got a text message from my friend who was there...he said they played demos 6, 8 and 9. the set consisted of mostly deja, and about 4 songs from yfw. yup. 8 is yeah. 6 and 9 (if that's which demos they are) were both still untitled. All they played from YFW was 70x7, no seatbelt song, soco and the shower scene.

[Goodbye Forever]

Did they play demo 7 (take it easy tigers...) or demo 9 (we're burning our own tonight).

It was seven.

[Jamie Pham]

finally

[SVBrightEye]

someone should post the set list :)

[daBNmaradona]

i live in dallas, i am heartbroken we lost. this cheers me up a little.

[nicky123]

awesome

[crit]

yup. 8 is yeah. 6 and 9 (if that's which demos they are) were both still untitled. All they played from YFW was 70x7, no seatbelt song, soco and the shower scene.

i am so glad they started playing the shower scene again.

[PunkDrums182]

"and now we play the waiting game" /family guy
ahahahah

[resUrectMe617]

i got a text message from my friend who was there...he said they played demos 6, 8 and 9. he also said the set consisted of mostly deja, and about 4 songs from yfw.

i think your friend meant demo 7, which was the one with the piano. maybe they played 9 when i left, but i know for sure they did 7.

[drew-is-cool]

i'll believe that this album is coming out when I'm holding it in my hands...but I have faith in the boys. This albums is going to be stellar. Out of this world, stellar.

i can't WAIT too see them in Portland in July. I wish they'd play "It's Good To Know If I Ever Need Attention..."

[Tommyg117]

It was an amazing show. Jessie's exact words were "we officially finished recording our new record last night, thank you for letting us take our time". Based on the new stuff at the show, it is gonna be really good. Mellow, but good.

I have a crappy short term memory, so the order might be off. Hell, I'm not sure if STG was in the encore or towards the end of the set, but you get the idea.

Edit: Someone else already posted it, but whatever.

[domesticyeti]

the setlist looks good, but where is Jude Law or Guernica?
did those songs get retired or something?

[Klemasser]

"and now we play the waiting game" /family guy
That quote is from the Simpsons, not Family Guy. The Mr. Plow episode to be exact. "Waiting game sucks, let's play hungry hungry hippos." Just sayin.

[ACA]

NOTES:

The Shower Scene was announced to be the first song the band ever wrote. I didn't know this, but I'm sure most/some of you did.

No Seatbelt Song is by far my least favorite Brand New song.. can they stop playing this?

Surprised to see Tatou kicked it off.

Play Crack The Sky was solo acoustic to close the show.

The demos sounded good, especially the dancy/keyboard one.

There were five people on stage.. not sure who the fifth was.

The opening bands were pretty lame. Colour Revolt was better than High Frequency, but neither of them were very entertaining. CR had some talent though, even if it wasn't a good time watching them.. I recommend skipping these bands and just showing up for Brand New. Brand New took about 45 minutes to set up.

This is the first time I've seen them not play Guernica and Good To Know.. fucking lame, I love those songs.

Jude Law was absent for the second time in a row (first time being the 75-person bar in NYC a month ago).

[resUrectMe617]

oh yeah, they also had new merch tonight.

damn that sucks. i really want to be in the front though.

[TakingBackNolan]

I heard Finch made a bet with Brand New claiming they couldn't push their release date further back than Finch did.

[ACA]

damn that sucks. i really want to be in the front though.

I'll be there at the TLA, tomorrow, too.

Looks to be a good time, I always like the TLA a lot more than Starland. Except for parking, which is a god damned bitch.

-ACA

[chokeychicken]

saw them at UVA and John Hopkins, can't wait for the norva on friday. although i really hope they don't close with play crack the sky. closing with a slow song is so lame.

unless you're jimmy eat world.

[fiddypercent]

did everyone already recieve their tickets in the mail for the summer tour?

[PlusDanny]

Play Crack the Sky is my fave BN song, so I was actually hoping they would end it on that. Thanks for the set!

[GreenJellyBean]

did everyone already recieve their tickets in the mail for the summer tour?

yeah i got mine a couple weeks ago.

[PJ1336]

this show was so f'n good.

the only thing that strikes me as odd is that i could have sworn that i heard they were only keeping "Yeah" from the demos, and all the other songs that leaked were to be scrapped. them playing them live now is the type of thing that leads me to believe those demos were not leaked on accident. i mean, they were way into the fact that people knew the words, and jesse even made a little joke in refference to the leak before they played demo #6, saying "this one is number six". so either they leaked on purpose to simply keep people interested, or they just stopped caring and decided to play some new songs that people clearly would know and want to hear live. now, if they had only played "Cleanser" (track 5 on the demos) i could have died happy.

[mikearduini9]

that sucks they dont play Jude Law... thats my favorite song off YFW

[chcougar1]

did everyone already recieve their tickets in the mail for the summer tour?


um no..i ordered from DucatKing and it said tickets were only being held at will call (for portland)

but if you ordered ticketswest you should have them already

[jnkbondtrader]

according to the setlist, which i saw on the sound board, demo seven is called "fork and knife"

[Jim Morgan]

fucking amazing set tonight.

this new cd should be good.

[godzillany]

you're crazy if you think No Seatbelt Song is their worst song, you have that so backwards. sorry i needed to say that.

did anyone else hear Jesse say "Seriously this is the lat time" before Seventy Times Seven? I'm guessing it was in reference to the fact that they stated they retired it twice already. I have a feeling it'll be played a few more times. My guess is if they really do retire it, it'll be at Webster Hall.

demo 6 and 7 were my favorites and im so amazed they made the cut and still bouncing off the walls over the fact that i got to hear them be debuted.

as for the fella who wanted to hear demo 5 before he dies, i'm almost possitive it wont be on the cd. A very close sorce stated this, but honestly the new song they played at John Hopkins a few months ago "Take Apart Your Head" i belive its called, seems to be thematically the same with the same amount of engery and awesomeness and it was actually superior to demo 5

[fgevilmonkey]

Two things I'm taking away from this show:

1. These demos weren't leaked on purpose- they were too unhappy about them being leaked. But now it's apparent that they came out and saved face by trying to brush them off as being irrelevant, so that people wouldn't listen to them. Because they're unfinished, because they're incomplete? No, because this was the framework for the album. I think you'll find that almost every single demo makes it on to Fight Off Your Demons... although I could be wrong. Can't wait till Webster in late July to see if they're play Cleanser or Lying Like Lions.

2. Did anyone else catch Jesse saying to Vinnie that "this is absolutely the last time" before they played 70 x 7? He wasn't saying it to us- he looked right at Vinnie as they were trying to decide what song they were giong to play, and he defeatedly looked at Vinnie and said "okay, THIS is the last time, then". So don't be surprised if BN stops playing this song altogether- at one point in the song Vinnie tossed his guitar in the air, and you can see that even though they know people love the song, it's so far behind them now in terms of songwriting ability.

[EvenBetterYet]

such an amazing show

ha you beat me to it by a post :)

[TotallyMandy]

No, it's from Family Guy.

It's when Peter is one of the Wonder Twins. He says "Form of Jana's tampon...now we play the waiting game."



And tonight's show rocked. I can't wait to see tomorrow's.

[Ryan Imhof]

I was told that at Brand New (http://www.absolutepunk.net/brandnew)'s show tonight, they announced that they finished the new album completely yesterday.
I was there, yes, they did announce that. I was just about to post it but saw you got it.

[suburbn_thrills]

Woah news travels fast.
Amaaazing show.

NOTES:
There were five people on stage.. not sure who the fifth was.


I was thinking the same thing, but after the show my sister told me it was one of the dudes from the first band, Ultra High Frequency. Not sure if she's right or why he was there...meh.

i think it was derrick from the reunion show, but i could be wrong

[californiaLstop]

Derrick Sherman of The Reunion Show/the Waiting Process is now playing with Brand New. Good dude.

[DarthRyan]

No, it's from Family Guy.

even if it was family guy the simpsons did it too. the simpsons have done everything. "SIMPSONS DID IT! SIMPSONS DID IT!

[cahrishurr]

"and now we play the waiting game" /family guy

yeah i dunno if anyone told you but thats the simpsons

"and now we play the waiting game............................... .....ah waiting game sucks, lets play hungry hungry hippos!"

[simonz]

how did untitled 6 and 7 sound in comparison the the demo version?

[zbrmike79]

6 and 7 are alot better now then when they were demos

and the 5th guy is somehow related to Jesse... if anyone saw them in April in NYC, Jesse said "this is my cousin, we told him he was going to play guitar with us, but we just made him our guitar tech"

something along those lines

[dpmurph]

Yesssss!!!

[we are cured]

how did untitled 6 and 7 sound in comparison the the demo version?

yeah was fucking intense.

[sparksfly]

no seatbelt song = <3

I was at Sin-E for that show. That's pretty much exactly what Jesse said, it was funny.

I didn't notice Jesse saying that. But I wouldn't be surprised. The music they make now is very different from most of YFW. Even when I was listening to 70x7 on the way to work this morning I was thinking how much the first 2 minutes of the song doesn't even really sound like Brand New anymore.

[Ryan Imhof]

how did untitled 6 and 7 sound in comparison the the demo version?
Musically. yes. Lyrically no.

[applesandcyanid]

I have an erection.

That's all.

[livethesounds]

Awesome, hope they play a bunch of new songs at their show in houston next week. I still love mark cuban too...damn heat.

[HiddenInNJ]

Jesse said they finished recording it last night though I assume that means mixing. They played Yeah (demo 8), demo 6 with new lyrics and sped up a lot, and demo 7. LET ME SET THE PICTURE FOR YOU.

Garrett Tierney on a rickenbacker bass guitar. Brian Lane on drums. Vinnie Accardi on piano. Derrick Sherman (I think that was him, right?) on more drums and Jesse Lacey singing at the microphone with an effects pedal basically in his hands. It was incredible. They added a bridge to that song.

Yea it was a sick show and the lighting was awesome too... The effects pedal on the demos really livened them up and Garrett and Jesse kept smiling everytime the crowd burst into verse. Jesse even forgot a verse in Sic Transit Gloria and no one really noticed because they were singing along. A double encore ended with 70*7 and Jesse alone playing Play Crack The Sky... only thing missing was Jude Law in my opinion

[atticusfinch]

Oh man. If they play Play Crack The Sky Saturday in Charlotte, that will make the show for me.

What's even better is that I'm seeing them in Houston next week too, which will undoubtedly be amazingly better than the Charlotte show, simply because Nightmare Of You is playing.

Hell yes.

They were pretty pumped that people were singing along to the demos and even said this is number 6... I saw Jesse go to Vinnie before 70*7 but thought he was saying this was the last song, meaning of the encore, but i heard a lot of people who were closer say it was the last time... either way the song was done amazingly and if they retire the song so be it glad to see it one last time

[omgjames]

im goin to their show in philly tonight, its gonna be so tight!

[AbsentTruth]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[danalynne]

i am so glad they started playing the shower scene again.

me too, its one of my favorites.

[zizou1790]

Fucking Amazing.

[Chris Fallon]

Well, as they say, no news is good news until we get a Brand New release date. I am pretty excited though, no matter what the haters say.

[boxingthexstars]

Man I fucking wanted to go to the show Tuesday night in Philly but nooooo I couldn't because it was the sister's birthday. :rolleyes: I swear if I had a car I would've just driven down there. Or I could've just like ran and taken a bus. Ha.

So uh...anyone go? How was it? And with all the speculation of 70x7 being played for the last time on the 6/20 show....did they play it?!

EDIT: OH and before I forget. Excuse me if I sound ridiculously retarded when I ask this, but how do people know what the demos real titles are? Did I miss something?

[serpico]

dont worry man that show sold out in like 2 seconds i hear. i couldnt go b/c i was in spain, but yea i would've loved to be there. bn is great and its about time they played some live shows!
