r/bleachers

So I just got tickets to the gig for banquet records on Monday the 23rd November. Can anyone who was at the last gigs there tell me what it might be like (timings,setlist ect). As it’s a small gig is there any chance for signings or something like that? It’s gonna be a great week as Im seeing them later that week in Birmingham so a bleachers filled week!

I miss when synths were at the forefront of their sound. Most of B4 and now these new singles all feel so hollow.

There’s an entire unreleased Bleachers song on the latest Armchair Expert podcast at 1:26:00

(So far we are on 2, from DWD and The Van).

In 2002, I interviewed Steel Train after their set in New Jersey. The band included Jack Antonoff (of Bleachers and fun.).

I aired the interview once on my live online music show, DJ Rossstar’s Punk Rock Show, and it was never heard again by anyone… UNTIL NOW!

One of my favs from B4 and in my opinion one of their best album closers. I know it partially plays off the closer of the Steel Train album Trampoline (Women I Belong To) but there’s very little lyrical annotation on Genius and I was just wondering if anyone had any readings of the song or has seen Jack talk about it in any interviews.

I’m especially curious about the title. I always assumed it meant Waiter as in waiting staff but I realised yesterday it could also be referring to someone who waits, which may be more in keeping with the lyrical themes of the song.
