You should put suggestions for bookings in the Hey Seth thread though…
I know, but I looked at their schedule and there wasn't even really a spot in there:(

If these US shows go well they may add another leg or come back around.

Man I would be all over that and some older fans that rarely go to shows anymore might turn out but it has to be said that the last two times they played anthem, DC didn’t turn out (I attended and attendance seemed woeful) and I bet for this show Belle is hoping for more than club show $. I know people want this show at 9:30 but I don’t think the economics would work.

No one showed up because they seemingly used to play here quarterly

Can we also just acknowledge nothing they’ve put out in a decade plus is even listenable? Immaculate discography that started to tumble after Dear Catastrophe Waitress and then is fucking terrible after To Write About Love (which itself had one singular song I’d rank a “B-“ or better). And every time coming around is less old stuff. This isn’t rocket science and I **love** B+S.

I like the recent stuff but compared to the first three I want to cry. Stuart Murdoch seemingly lost his muse a long time ago although Write About Love is very good.

For a few years they were perfect. Maybe the best hot streak since The Smiths.

umm...why I'm so bummed about this tour. I love the early stuff, but I start to lose interest after the first 3 and the eps

If anything solidifies my view it’s that if you take Hutch’s first six words off this post, I agree 100%. And we approach bands, nostalgically, from very different starting points.

I mean I will defend Dear Catastrophe Waitress up and down.
