I know we've already talked about the concert, but I meant to ask you this: At the MKE show, there were people our age, and quite a few brought their kids, which was cool. BUT there were also a ton of 20-somethings, and I couldn't help wonder what their on ramp to the band was? Maybe the band was featured on a show? "Always Love" was a staple on Sirius XM, so maybe there? I dunno.
Was it the same demographic mix at the Chicago show? Maybe I just spend too much time people watching. lol.
It also felt like they had (finally?) shed their one hit wonder label and that this was the sort of audience they were meant to have. No one was yelling at them to play "Popular," (though Caws did make an offhand comment that we'd hear it at some point). The merch line was long. Someone yelled "play more new sh*t," and Caws replied that [the band] is grateful to hear comments like that.
There were definitely some 20-somethings there, along with middle aged people like us. It did look like there were some teen girls with their dad up on the rail too, which was very cool.
If I'm remembering correctly, "Always Love" was featured on "How I Met Your Mother," which has had long legs on Netflix. Maybe that was the way in?
It did seem like the crowd was very receptive to Moon Mirror, as they should be. They could have played another hour and there still would have been songs I was sad to miss. I was happy to hear "See These Bones," though!
This band!
