the 1975

never a good sign when I get a random text from a friend asking if the singer of the 1975 is ok.

No complaints about the Denver show.

"Alright, this is where we step is up, everybody. This is where the show goes from here... to here... and then we're gonna go to HERE..."

Ugh fuck whatever I give up, I’m on my phone

(they brought out Taylor tonight in London, hence the pic)

which of them has jumped the shark?

taylor has been in their orbit since the first album more or less… she was at their terminal 5 show in 2014

there were even pervasive rumours that matty & taylor were dating for a little bit though there didn't actually seem to be any substance to that

in a depression spiral about this rn

how could i possibly not be there

lol totally forgot they share a producer, too, so all makes sense.

yeah matty said recently they did something on midnights but it got cut

before bfiafl came out i was half expecting her to show up on backing vocals somewhere

I thought she might too, given the Antonoff connection and how they've expressed admiration for each other in the past

taylor’s cover of “the city” sounded quite nice

Oh damn why did I go to the brighton show instead of that one

another video of her covering "the city": https://www.instagram.com/reel/CnWXtJcgJ4Q/

needless to say this has ruined my life

Fantastic.

So cool.

Did the stage design get a lot more elaborate mid-tour, or did I just not notice all the pictures and such on the walls at the show I went to? There definitely wasn't a spiral staircase...

She sings it like she could've have written it.

xpost There have been a few tweaks here and there, but I think it's been like that for a while. The Chicago show, because it was in a smaller venue, couldn't fit the whole thing, which is also why the band abandoned some of the conceptual stuff for the night.

Ah got it, thanks.

This brings back memories of her solo acoustic mini-set on the Fearless tour. Still one of the best songs of 2022, full stop.

ugh

this has her full performance

They currently have the New York show on Amazon Prime at the moment and going to watch it this weekend. Excited to see it as I normally don't have Prime.

We clearly chose the wrong London night to go to but having (deliberately) not read anything about the show in advance I was pretty much blown away by it. The stretch from fallingforyou through When We Are Together was perfect.

Was able to watch their concert on Amazon Prime this last weekend. Loved the second half with all their hits.

They also just released one song from that same show.

lol, that's a bit, he did it at the Chicago show too.

only thing i can say is that 1975 was a good year for music.

yo

wow! they need to do this in new york…

yeah if they do that anywhere within a state of me ill go

wow

My only complaint with that setlist is all the A+ songs the band had to remove to make room for the debut.

if this band ever gets to a Wilco-style stage where they play 5 nights somewhere with no repeats, i'm so there

here's the full debut album show

It took me until now to notice that in "Wintering" Matty rhymes "old" with "old," which either means it's skillfully done or I'm exceptionally slow.

I love how Matty plays the guitar as if he just noticed it strapped to his shoulder.

i know this is a well-worn sentiment at this point - and to each their own and all that - but i can't believe someone stood at that spot at that show and filmed for 90 minutes. i feel sad for them, if i'm honest.

surprised this revive wasn’t about that podcast thing (which I have not listened to)

doesn't sound great!

https://consequence.net/2023/02/matty-healy-mocks-yungblud-for-calling-him-a-privileged-white-dude/

this edgelord phase is exhausting and embarrassing

listening now these guys are all stupid assholes wow

is this still about cumtown

he's beefing with yungblud because yungblud took issue with the cumtown appearance and it's deeply embarrassing

oh c’mon the video he posted of yungblud sitting on a toilet onstage while reading a book w/ the caption “i feel partly responsible for this” was pretty funny

i pointedly ignore matty’s amateur podcasting career & i would suggest everyone joins me. that having been said, i can see why yungblud speaking out against him rankles him in particular and you can see matty’s argument as to why in the video, even if it’s childish on the surface

yes, I ignore all of Matty's extracurriculars and all of yungblud's everything, it's worked out well so far

Knowing more about Yungblud than Cum Town is not the high ground you think it is haha
