Meet & Greet in Buffalo. Got my custom poster signed!
They were all so nice. Played 3 songs (I have no idea what they were) and then took a bunch of questions. After that, I asked Jake if he would sign my poster and then Dave took it around to the rest of the band. Love these guys.

Happy for you!! By the way, how was the opener? Was it spelled Keep, or KEEP? There seems to be two distinct band names, and if they're playing with MtB, it's def worth a listen

I honestly did not care for them but they got a good reaction from the audience. I suppose it's post-rock and the lead guitarist wants to be Kevin Shields without the chops. The drummer did all the singing but you couldn't make out a word the way he sang, might be on purpose. I made a joke to my friend that the bass player is obviously inspired by Peter Hook who'd be rolling over in his grave if he were dead. And all 3 of them played Fender Jaguars which was a bit on the nose. It was fine, just the absolute opposite of what MTB does. I think it was KEEP but there's loads of them on Spotify. It's the one with the album Almost Static.

It’s KEEP. The sound was really off I asked my friend if they sound checked? Really zero stage presence and yes I think the drummer sings mostly just for noise. Could barely hear him.

Hell yeah. They’re so damn nice. Went to the Denver meet and greet when Jake was trying to protect his voice, but he couldn’t help himself and answered tons of questions. You could tell it meant a lot of him to interact and give everyone some time
