    They are great! Saw them with Beck and Spoon on the same bill!

    I just started listening to these guys last month! 
    my recommendation Chris, if it matters....listen in order of release. The evolution of this band is noticeable with each record.

    Agree with this. 

    I think Tell Me Im Pretty is their best. It was surprising seeing that the most recent album was from 2019. Felt longer

    Cage is an amazing band and easily in my current top 5 bands I like to see live. 

    Would love some new music

    Saw that billing too. The lead singer kept on removing what seemed like layers of vinyl clothing. I thought for sure he was going to dehydrate right on stage.

    Yeah, that was crazy! Gloves, coats, so much. My son is a huge fan of theirs. We had lawn seats, $35 for that bill! Best deal ever. When Matt Schultz crowd surfed on the lawn, we were only 20 feet away, so we both ran over. Went right above us. My son was 10 years old and he was freaking out! Quite the rock show.

    Awesome!

    First time I saw them was in Chicago as an opener for STP.  Was 1 person from stage in pit.  Talking to my friend about how awesome they were when Matt jumped right at us in the crowd.  Lucky I didn't let his ass fall as I wasn't ready at all!  I was hooked since very early on in that show.  Saw them open for Muse later which was an amazing lineup as well.  And of course the most recent Night running tour with Beck.  Wish they would come a little closer for tour dates this year.

    Nice! Would have been fun to see them on an earlier tour. I did watch their live stream during the pandemic, and really enjoyed that.

    Matt Shultz had legal problems so that might be why they haven't done much lately.

    Happy these guys are finally getting back out there.  Just saw Young the Giant last weekend at Innings Festival and enjoyed them, so glad to see them as an opener as well.

    Im a bit shocked YTG are opening. In my mind at least they are equal in status and could probably play the same venues as a headliner no problem. They are very good

    I agree.  It's like 2 headliners in one.

    Good to hear.  I grabbed a pair of $25 tickets during the Live Nation week.  Should be well worth the money since Young The Giant is opening for them.
