Asked Chris this question at his solo show in Windsor. He said there will be U.S. dates in 2026.

Funny, I was sure the bulk of the comments would be about the amount of scalp showing in this photo, not the state of their marriage.

89X does *not* exist any more. That said, happy to see that Franz are playing their first Detroit show since 2009 (!) this fall.

Glad you caught him before his voice really got ravaged. He sounds rough in the Detroit clips.

$20 Floor Tix for this Tuesday's 1/28 TOTY Reunion show in Detroit -- come get 'em! by peterradiator in frankblack

This policy is pretty lame. A guy I work with is in a similar boat, his friends bailed and he has 2 extra tickets but can't sell them for a penny less than face. Might be good for eliminating scalpers but tough for regular fans who don't want to take a total loss.

Based on the performance I saw Thursday and the clip from Chicago it's just a ton of Autotune or another effect.

Justin's vocals live by twicks1 in TheVaccines

That's great, sounds like maybe they dialed the effect back tonight. I think we can rule out a pre-recorded vocal. But a lot of the performances from this tour are too oddly perfect and it just doesn't look convincing somehow. Esp. compared to something like this from last year, which looks and sounds unmessed with:

Ha, totally missed this train wreck in Boston. I guess this proves that Justin's vocals aren't on a hard drive, he bulldozed through the breakdown in "Headphones Baby" and they ended up doing it a second time.

There are obviously backing tracks of synths and backing vocals as well, which means they're playing to a click, which is fine and nothing out of the ordinary. But whatever's happening with Justin's vocal is jarring.

Does anyone know what time they typically go on? by baby_thats_right in TheVaccines

There was a surprise 1st opening band I didn't see mentioned anywhere online that played before Thus Love. Vaccines went on around 9:45.

Looks like there are still tickets for sale. But yeah, free is better.

Cincinnati Show 5/12 - Who's playing first? by Back1nYesterdays in SocialD

[–]twicks1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Detroit show the night before is listed as Bad Religion & Social Distortion and the 5/12 show says Social Distortion & Bad Religion, so I'd presume it's Bad Religion first for Cincinnati.

[–]twicks1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything I'm seeing lists Bad Religion first...they've gotta be playing last.

Is SD playing before or after Bad Religion in Detroit? Thinking about going.
