I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: August 27, 2025] Coheed & Cambria / Taking Back Sunday / Foxing

I like Coheed and Cambria more in theory than practice.  I have one album by them, but I love the whole concept of everything they do.  They are a complicated prog metal band and it takes some time to get into their new stuff.  Plus, their music is all part of a lengthy story.  Lead dude Claudio Sanchez has a grand vision and it’s easy to get left out of it.

I have thought about seeing them a few times (when I blew them off in 2022, a guy in Salem, MA said I was a fool for not going), but I’m never compelled enough to go–especially if I have a few other shows around it.

This appears to have been a co-headline tour with Taking Back Sunday having the other spot.  Taking Back Sunday has been around forever and yet I don’t think I know a single song by them.  I know they’re an old school emo band, but I wasn’t really into that scene in the late 90s, early 2000s, so I missed a lot of these bands.  And I’m not willing to dive into their catalog at this time.

Foxing seems like an odd band to have on the bill as well.  Although Foxing is a pretty odd band themselves.  I have seen them twice and they were absolutely fantastic live–even though I barely knew any of their music.  I considered going to this show just for Foxing, but that would have been very silly indeed.

Maybe one of these years I’ll get to a C&C show.  And I would definitely like to get to another Foxing show.
