You Blew It! @ The Studio at Webster Hall – 2/20/2015
’90s-style emo revivalists You Blew It! brought their current tour in support of their new Pioneer of Nothing EP on Jade Tree to NYC over the weekend, hitting The Studio at Webster Hall (2/20) with tourmates Tiny Moving Parts, Sorority Noise and Rozwell Kid. I missed the openers (but caught TMP and Sorority Noise last time they played Webster together), but did show up just in time for You Blew It!, who I’d still never managed to catch before despite many recent chances.
The place wasn’t 100% sold out, but it was really close, and the packed crowd was definitely loving every second of their set. If your criticism of a “revival” band like You Blew It! is that they don’t bring enough new to the table, one thing you can’t deny is that they bring a genuine energy to the live shows for the kids who weren’t around to catch Braid and Cap’n Jazz in their prime. Or Weezer for that matter, whose “My Name Is Jonas” You Blew It! covered to end their set.
Our photographer did catch every band, and more pictures from the whole show continue below…
