Heading off to their show now. Its a shame they haven't been playing longer sets, but I'm sure they have their reasons. *fingers crossed he gets some Alligator Assassinator*

Didn't know all the songs by title (or any of the stuff off the first album at all) but still had a lot of fun.

Snow in Pittsburgh meant it was a very poorly attended show, probably at most 30 people in the audience, and some of those were opening band members or supporters of those bands. Real shame. (That being said, one of the opening bands sang songs about dinosaurs, the lead singer was wearing a gaslight hoodie, and they probably rocked out as hard as anyone else during the Fake Problems set, so no real complains there =P)

Setlist (mostly pieced together from catching snippets of lyrics and writing them down):

Done with Fun
ADT
5678
(not sure on this one. I'm pretty sure it was off their 1st album though as I didn't regonise it, forgot to write down a lyric bit)
The Heaven & Hell Cotillion
RSVP
Don't worry baby
Songs for teenagers
Heartless (or rather "I Cant Believe For All Those Years You Wouldnt Let Me Smoke Weed and Then Right When We Broke Up You Started Smoking Weed", but from what I remember of the lyrics and youtube help I think its the same song")
Soulless
Born and Raised
Ghost To Coast
Grand Finale

Encore:
How Far Our Bodies Go (I think, the lyric snippet I had was "Here I am")
Dream Team

I might've missed one because I thought I saw 14 songs when I glanced at the setlist, but who knows. ultimately it isn't that big of a deal

Also I think they really wanted to play Dammit, because they were complaining the place had this weird no covers policy.

whoa I would have loved to have went...Where was it? Only 30 people though? wow...

Garfield Artworks, up in the friendship area I believe (I don't really know my pittsburgh neighborhood area names, I just take busses =P). And yeah, the small crowd was a really surreal experience considering all the other concerts I've attended have been packed.

Doing a single split with Never Shout Never

aw, why would they go and do a thing like that

Ugh...it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't cover songs.

Hmm, was it a lie? The link no longer works.

Oh man, I hope it was just a joke. I'll look into it later if there's still uncertainty.

I saw that too, but the link was broke by the time I got to it. Joke?

unfortunately it's true: http://www.punknews.org/article/41125

Seeing em tomorrow night. pretty stoked!

whos Never Shout Never?

Saw these guys last night. Super fun. I got there an hour early so I ended up talking to Derek Perry, the Bass player for a long time.

Nice! Looks like they've been playing mostly the same set list this whole tour. Derek is a super nice guy.

So I went night 2 also. tons of fun. I got there early again. here's the set list.



Drunk Casey Lee might be the funniest thing ever

Jealous huh?

recently got into these,freaking love them!

First ever headline tour announced w/ The Pomegranates, Laura Stevenson & The Cans, Now Now, and Into It Over It.

You can also download a free tour mixtape which contains an unreleased song called “See You Soon”

Some great bands on that tour. Hoping to be able to catch a show but it's a 2 hour drive on a school night so we'll see if anything important comes up...

i started listening to them a few days ago out of curiosity, they are reeeeally good!
I doubt I will be able to see them if they come to europe but I will do my best

I've been pretty busy this past weekend, with 5 shows in 4 days, mostly Fake Problems. And since then I have been minimally doing what I need to do while sleeping as much as possible. Very tired. But here's a recap!

Chicago, 2/24





JBTV taping, Chicago, 2/25 (earlier)


I was one of 12 people that got trapped in the elevator. They probably shouldn't have taken more than 5 people in there. Here are a few pictures documenting that ordeal, from inside and outside, and after.



I pressured my friend into putting one of his FP stickers on the sign. Although, 45 minutes inside that elevator was a very REAL problem. especially for the girl with severe claustrophobia.

But we were rescued in time!




Dekalb, 2/25 (later)

By far THE best set I have EVER seen them play






Incredible weekend. I adore these guys and what they do. These shows were very much needed in my life and I'm still going strong on the post-show high!

Awesome! Well not the elevator part. When does the JBTV thing go online?

I was in there with three good friends, and I'm not claustrophobic, so I was okay... one friend even played some Gaslight from her phone and we had a singalong! ha.

I'm not sure when it goes up, but I will let everyone know when I hear about it.

stoked for tomorrow! setlist looks good for an opening act. did you stay for murder by death? I'm hoping for 25 songs.

I stayed for them on the second night. The show in Chicago was a late show so we headed out.

The problems is that MBD fans have ALWAYS seemed awful and mean. I love the music though.
