Cool, thanks. I'll watch this when I get home.
I haven't heard much of the new stuff but I'm going to check it out before they come through town. In DC, they are playing the DAR Constitution Hall in a couple of weeks. I can't quite get over the general hilarity that goes along with Against Me! playing a seated theatre owned by the Daughters of the American Revolution and dedicated to the American constitution. How does that work, exactly, playing "Baby, I'm an anarchist"? They're opening for Silversun Pickups, which kind of explains the venue. Kind of.

Speaking of which, this looks like hella fun:
I swore I'd never see Against Me! again. After seeing them over a dozen, the magic sort've faded away. I might have to make an exception if they play a Baltimore/DC club date.

I can't wait! I've been a fan of Against Me! and the Silversun Pickups since 2007... The Tabernacle is going to be awesome!

Went to the Against Me! show last night and I was right in front of Franz... Fortunately, they've moved him up to the front of the stage, unfortunately, the sound kind of sucked. You really couldn't hear the keyboards or accordion the whole set, but at least you could hear his harmonies (which are spot-on for Against Me!)
When he walked out, I yelled "HEY FRANZ!" and he looked down at us... I get a feeling he knew then we were THS fans, and for the rest of the night he kept playing to us a bit. Fun guy, for sure, and I have to admit, Against Me! was pretty awesome, as well... Just wish I could have heard some keyboards. :\

this is like watching my ex-girlfriend bang some other dude who I actually kind of like someone on Twitter suggested AM! and THS tour and i was like 'isn't that like going out on a date with your ex and her new boyfriend?' Against Me! are touring Aus again... without Franz which doesn't stop every article about the tour to mention Franz and hope he comes with them |

i had fun at this last night at DAR. i only watched the Against Me! set. it was blistering good fun for about 40 minutes. And LOUD in that theatre. the wee old lady ushers and 930 staff were checking people's tix up front; so we couldn't move up to the stage. so, a little odd. but we had good seats. people were rocking out. good mix of old and new.

Just saw the SSPU/AM! show in Chicago tonight. Me and my friends were wearing our Hold Steady shirts and we had good spots in the second row. We shouted at Franz when he came out and he looked at us. Haha. What others have said, the sound kind of sucked, couldn't hear him much, but hey, I was thrilled to see Franz.

So many screaming girls. Against Me! kicked tons of ass, and I saw Franz's mustache with my own eyes.
