Live Show/Personal Notes
I've seen Bleachers twice. Once at Lolla 2014, and again at the Vic Theatre in November 2014. The band is, in my opinion, far better suited to the smaller, less rainy confines of an actual venue rather than a festival stage. Antonoff can play a crowd well enough, and if you're seeing them at Roo, you're gonna wanna be up front, and hopefully in a tent (or at least dry, unlike me at Lolla). The music sounds like it could have been the soundtrack to a lost John Hughes film, and Jack Antonoff plays that sort of vibe really well. If you're interested, you should definitely give them a shot.
He also sang for Steel Train, who's self titled album I love. Bleachers has been known to throw a song or two from Steel Train in the setlist...usually "Bullet".
