Pretty sure they are tweaking Halloween for the upcoming album!

What changes have they made to it?

That would be cool, even though I think it's perfect the way it is. Still, it deserves to be heard by more people.

Yeah I haven't see it live during these latest shows, what are they doing differently?

I'm not saying they are changing things, just maybe re-adjusting little things like a little chord here and there. You know, turning a song which has been played a few times into a classic. Like they did with biloxi parish!

I hope they record Halloween properly for the next album, it is such a powerful song and would be made even more powerful with a proper recording and production.

Did you get this from the Bouncing Souls' Twitter? Their link took me to Red Bull's page.

From the Souls' Facebook page:

MON SEP 30, 2013 - 9:00 PM
Bouncing Souls
BOUNCING SOULS & BRIAN FALLON
with Brian Fallon, Aye Nako
Music Hall of Williamsburg
66 N 6th St
Brooklyn, NY
Frontman of The Gaslight Anthem, Brian Fallon worked with NYC based music blog, Brooklyn Vegan, to curate the Red Bull Sound Select Presents NYC Showcase on September 30. After bouncing back and forth up-and-coming artists, they picked two underground acts. They chose the talented Brooklynbased
Aye Nako to open for New Jersey’s Bouncing Souls and Brian Fallon at the September showcase with another band yet to be announced.

Tickets for the September 30th’s Red Bull Sound Select showcase featuring The Bouncing Souls and Brian Fallon, plus Red Bull Sound Select artists Aye Nako, can be purchased at the door for $3 before 9pm. 18+

So this is functionally a free show that we have to line up for? Interesting.

Yeah. Kind of unfortunate. I'd rather pay $25 and know that I have a ticket then go all the way there and possibly not get in.

Agreed. If I lived close by I wouldn't be complaining but I'd hate to spend 31 bucks to get into the city and find out it's sold out, not to mention the effort of going all the way there like you said. :/ Gonna have to think about this one.

There's no mention there of Brian playing unless he surprises us and turns out to be the "other band".

The info I just got from the Souls' camp is that advance ticket sales aren't happening because the point of the event is to showcase up-and-coming bands. In other words, if they sold advance tix, people would be more likely to skip the openers and show up later. This method forces you to get there early and go right in.

I can see where they're coming from to be honest, that makes sense. Still, whichever way they went with it there would be positives and negatives.

I'll stand out there all day if it's Brian playing solo. I can read a book.

The TGA facebook post nows says Brian is co-headlining the 9/30 show.

After reading that explanation, that makes a lot of sense. Never thought of it like that (door tickets).

Same! And I'll probably get there pretty damn early, but like I'll be super pissed if I get there way early, spend all the money it's gonna cost me (31 for train 18 for parking at the station) and then I get there and it's sold out or something because everyone else panicked and arrived early too! I know that's not their problem that I'd be traveling a bit but it sure would suck if it was for nothing.

More details about the 9/30 show:

For everyone going to Made in America...

-BRING A WATER BOTTLE. Also saw some people with camelbacks
-Be ready to wait in very long lines if you want water or beer. Waited 45 minutes for a beer yesterday (joke was def on me) and 50 minutes for the free water.
-The festival grounds are very poorly designed, just get ready. Ugh. Even thinking about it is giving me a huge headache.
-Thank god for 2Chainz and Beyonce

I've been to many many festivals, but this was by far the worst I've ever attended.

I just realized Gaslight will be streaming this afternoon https://www.youtube.com/user/MadeInAmericaFest/madeinamericafest
