Streetlight Manifesto

truth. october 12th will be my fourth time seeing them in a little over a year.

i might be driving up to buffalo on the 11th too to see them and the bosstones. that would be ridiculous

I'm gonna go see them in L.A. on October 18th. I seriously can't wait, it's gonna be awesome.

you pumped about 99 songs of the revolution?

Yes!! I just hope that it actually comes out early 2009. I'm so stoked about it, something to look forward to.

i'm calling mid- to late-'09. but still. 8 albums plus new material is ridiculous

i want to see these guys live so bad

I find strange things sometimes.

hahaha thats awesome

just wanted to say that this band rules soo hard. somewhere in the between is awesome, i love it. i know a lot of people were disappointed by it but i thought it was fantastic. i hope they tour soon cause i really wanna see them again. they're definitely the only ska band i like, not that i've really listened to any others, but i just think they're wonderful.

Dude, I know how you feel... I used to love ska more than anything... I have seen Less Than Jake play atleast 20 times (if anything, that is a low number). Then I became obsessed with punk and the harder the better... now I have really calmed down, I like well written lyrics and well annuciated singers with a good beat. ie The Gaslight Anthem and Against Me!

I'm getting pretty bored with ska too, save a few bands. idk if you've heard of these guys, but for some really good, non-generic ska bands, listen to:

The Arrogant Sons of Bitches
Subb (start with The Motions)
The Skatastrophes (the Cleveland one)
The Flatliners (first album's ska-core, second's street punk)
The JB Conspiracy
High School Football Heroes (just the first album)
Last Martyrs of a Lost Cause (only have a low-quality 4-song EP out, but they have a new CD coming out soon that sounds awesome)

and for some Sublime-like reggae, check out Scotty Don't (same guys as Badfish, the Sublime tribute band, but these guys play original stuff)

In fact I just remembered going back completely on what I said random hand are pretty sweet like a harder capdown.

Seeing Streetlight tomorrow. I'm amped. They've been playing "On & On & On" acoustic, and they did a sick acoustic medley deal of "Sick and Sad", "The Big Sleep", and "Somewhere In the Between". Sick and Sad sounds so good acoustic, as does The Big Sleep.

Oh, and they've been playing "The Saddest Song", which I have never heard live, though it's one of my favorites. And hearing some Keasbey Nights other than the title track is like a dream. O&O&O is probly my favorite song on Keasbey

dude, you have to go to one of them. they're basically the best live band ever, and rbf is pretty fun too

DOOOO IT.
I have seen them twice and I will most likely be attending either CT or maybe MA, depending on where I'm living at the time and if I can get back to CT that weekend.

so sad that there isn't a florida date. i really, really want to hear more of their new stuff live. i honestly like somewhere in the between better than everything goes numb. i need to see them again soon, it's been way too long!

ayo Josh, Feb. 11, Streetlight's playing a headline show at Emo's in Austin. hopefully you can make it out of there without getting robbed or something
