They were supporting Incubus. I got to go for free too because one of my friends was originally going and then his friend pulled out :D. Feel like I should pay something though now :$.

Anyway I see Brand New mentioned quite a lot around here and I was like hey I know them...kinda. They were pretty good not really my kind of music though to be honest - there were about 20 ppl going berserk for them though. I don't really know how big a following they have in the UK. I only knew like 5 Incubus songs too but at least they played them :). So yeah just thought I'd mention that *shrug*

I was at the same gig, amazing. Brand New played a great set and Incubus played most of what I wanted them too.
Third time I've seen Brand New now and they get better evey time, I was worried how they would sound in an arena but it sounded great.
Incubus were brilliant, Brandon's voice was great. Jose's drum solo was amazing, really tight, sounded brilliant. They played Summer Romance :love: and Idiot Box too. I was happy they played quite a few songs off SCIENCE. Anyway I got to see my favourite band live so I'm happy.

Yeah I was a bit worried when the lights died during Brand New's set looked quite terminal but happily all was well!

Hadn't heard any Incubus till October. I marked out for Certain Shade of Green personally, and Are You in to finish cos thats my friends favourite song and he's obviously a way bigger than me :). The drum solo was cool particularly when it involved the singer and bassist (yeah I don't know their names) too. Milkshake was a funny addition too. :)

Lol, yeah milkshake. It was bad when the lights turned off, I was like wtf. The lighting was great for Incubus with those glitter effects. Beautiful.

Incubus is one band which, try as I might, I cannot gert into at all.

They only have one good song I think. Are You In?

Brand New is the greatest live band I've seen. Incubus is my favorite band of all time. WHY CAN'T BN SUPPORT INCUBUS ON THE US TOUR?!?!?

i was right near the front for them, singing/shouting every single word. pretty damn good set list too, seeing as they had limited time.

incubus were pretty cool. though a bit boring at times. especially that long-ass guitar thing before the encore. :|

no stellar or pardon me wasn't cool either.</font>

I hope they played Failure By Design but more importantly Seventy times seven.

They are the only two Brand New songs I know, and Seventy Times Seven is off the hook.

Brand New is awful in concert. Seen them like 3 or 4 times. I don't remember.

Back before Deja Entendu, they were great in concert. Lots of energy and stuff. But now they wear suits and don't move or anything. Sucks dick.

Hmmm yeah they seemed quite energetic last night. Definitely the lead guitarist anyway didn't notice much movement from the bassist thought :$.

Brand New were energetic, they've been great everytime I've seen them live. The guitarist throwing his guitar in the air was awesome, good that he caught it. They did play seveny times seven, The Quiet Things sounded great and so did Jude Law and A Semester abroad.
Incubus made me happy, they played Idiot Box and Summer Romance. Are You In sounded beautiful too with the keyboard.

Wow Trips, you must have gone to one of their crappier shows. Ammit and I saw them twice in Melbourne on consecutive nights (first night supporting Blink, second night by themselves in a small venue) and they were fu</>cking amazing. They didn't wear suits and not move or whatever, they were dressed normally, Jesse threw his guitar around, <s>High Guy</s> Vinnie spun his guitar around his body and threw it up in the air a couple of times, the bassist and drummer just rocked hardcore the whole time. They were just awesome live. At the second show Kirst and I were right near the front, like 3 metres away from the stage. It was nothing short of brilliant, seriously.

Jesse Lacey looked like a ****ing egotistical asshole in his suit. I wanted to punch him in the face.

Also, in the span of time we saw them, I think he just broke his leg or some shit, so that might have been it.

That could have had a huge influence on his inability to move, yes. :p

Jesse is mad egotistical but he's the man anyway.
