[DID NOT ATTEND: May 13 & 14, 2023] Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls / The Interrupters / Bedouin Soundclash
I am reposting exactly what I wrote last year:
I had been wanting to see him for a long time because I’d heard his live shows were amazing. I saw him last year in a solo (more or less) performance. And it was great. So next, I wanted to see him with his band because I’ve heard the band version is even wilder with a more punk aesthetic and I do love a fun punk show.
I grabbed a ticket to this immediately, not realizing that it was
Father’s DayMother’s Day. It’s not a veryFatherlynice way to spend Mother’s Day by being away from your family for hours. So I didn’t go.
COME ON FRANK. Last year on father’s Day. This year on Mother’s Day? WTF.
I prefer the Fillmore to the Summer Stage, but by the time I realized that my tickets were for Mother’s Day, we had already made plans for the Saturday so I couldn’t grab tickets in Asbury Park anyway.
The Interrupters opened for the Hella-Mega tour. We caught their ska set and it was fun as anything. I definitely want to se them again, so this bill was killer for me.
Bedouin Soundclash is from Canada. Their music is like a combination of reggae and rock with ska elements. Although everything I listened to on Spotify was far more mellow than I would have expected for this tour.
