Pierce the Veil - Stained Glass Eyes and Colorful Tears (Acoustic Live in Birmingham 09.12.2022)

I started this Tumblr many moons ago with the aim of celebrating my favourite bands and sharing a community who love them as much as me. On 09.12.22, after over 10 years of waiting, I was finally able to see my most cherished band in the flesh. I cried tears of joy and thought back to all the hard times they pulled me through. They absolutely rocked this night and I’ll never forget the night I saw my heroes live. Thank you, Pierce the Veil, may you continue to bring light to those in the dark for years to come ❤️🖤❤️

SOUTH ARCADE: THE ARC ANGEL TOUR

12.03.2024 @ O2 Academy 3, Birmingham (250 Capacity) ⚠️ TW: some flashing lights in video ⚠️

Written March 2024

First concert of the year and there’s no better way to kick it off than South Arcade. Having seen them just 6 months prior, I knew that it was going to be a good night and the Oxford-based band did not disappoint. Imagine if a 2000s pop it girl made rock music and you get South Arcade, a British rock band slowly breaking onto the scene. It’s a classic ‘pop diva has an emo phase’ sound and it’s absolutely wonderful to hear in real time. Having been on 2 tours already this year, they’re quickly becoming one of the acts to look out for in the coming years.

I had been in contact with the band about potentially coming to the gig beforehand to observe/help out as work experience - that didn't end up happening but they put me on the guestlist instead! I was still able to watch change-over in between sets though as we were at the barricade for the whole gig and it was interesting to watch because I actually knew what each crew member was doing and why.

The first opener was a heavy rock/metal band called Tropic Gold that I’d not heard of before, but I will definitely be checking them out at a later date. They were phenomenal. The second opener was a singer called Beren Olivia who had heard of but not yet listened to her music. Her set was just her and her guitarist, which meant that we got a nice, calmed down acoustic set of her punchy rock-influenced pop songs, including a part-cover of ‘Sugar, We’re going down’ by Fall Out Boy. I didn't realise till after the gig that she recorded backing vocals on one of my favourite songs, 'Every Heart but Mine' by Dylan, who I've gone to see in concert twice.

South Arcade blew all expectations, as expected tbh. We got to hear one of my favourites of their songs, ‘Nepo baby’ live as well as 2 unreleased songs, including ‘Riptide’ which is more than likely to be the band’s next single. To be able to hear covers of sk8er boi AND I kissed a girl in the same night was completely surprising and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. Cody’s incredible drumming skills are enhanced by Harry & Ollie on Guitar and bass with just enough room to aid Harmony’s unreal vocals. It’s all the y2k nostalgia in a rock show but with clear modern rock elements coming through. 

@artbyamixx had gotten the band to sign an in-progress zine in September, and managed to get finished copies to hand out to friends we had met last time and to the band members when we got the chance to talk to them after the show and they absolutely loved them. Each page corresponded with a single of theirs (the most recent ones) and she’d even hand-sewn stitches onto a picture of a heart on one page!

It’s crazy that in just under 6 months, the band are playing shows at venues over double the size, they’ve grown so much in such a small amount of time and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. At this rate I’ll be going to every one of their headline tours!

Facebook announcements (from venues, promoters, organisers and etc.) _ UK + Europe

this post is gonna be updated with each new post from anyone. if there's something interesting going on, the city is gonna have a separate post/thread with screenshots and links. if i provide a link to the venue it means there's a TI page on it (and the link is to this page). if the venue didn't make a page for us, i highlight it.

Europe has screenshots as an example of how i would do it ideally. starting from USA/Canada (that means including this post about UK and Ireland/Netherlands/Iceland) and all updates are linked to screenshots posted on a different account (because of Tumblr limits). that is, except for the last 7 USA shows because i ran out of links (who knew); they have screenshots. this post, aka Facebook announcements, is divided by tour legs (also because of Tumblr limits).

all 4 posts (for 4 tour legs) are gonna have this disclaimer, yes. is this still confusing? yes.
