I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: September 30, 2023] Royal Blood / Bad Nerves

I have been interested in Royal Blood for a few years.  I don’t really remember when they first hit my radar, but I think it was their debut album.

I had heard that their live show (for just two guys) was really impressive.

Apparently everyone else thinks so too as they have played a few different Philly festivals over the last few years.  I wasn’t interested in seeing them at an all day festival, and this was their first time playing a club in Philly since 2017.

At the time I was really intrigued by them being a duo and rocking out.  But since then, there have been so many duos who absolutely kick ass, that the novelty isn’t that great anymore.  I never really listened to much of their music anyway, so it’s no big deal that I’m not going because this show is the same weekend that my daughter and I are going to the All Things Go.

Bad Nerves is new to me, but they seem like a fun pop punk band from England.  They have one album of frenetic punk that reminds me of The Dickies.  Sounds fun.
