#cincinnati open 2017

[kermitgasm]

are there any songs you think they should bring back for the setlist or a song you wish they would play live?

also which live performances are your favorite? (you could even go by era cuz i think each era is pretty unique)

ok so i need to start this off by saying BRING POOL BACK IMMEDIATELY!! please with the intro and everything. it’s just so fucking good. next up, which i know might be controversial, but i’d love to hear fences live once (i would watch this video all the time when i was younger, it just seems like a lot of fun). i always think it sounds so cool. and then obviously i’m on my knees screaming and crying for them to bring back Let The Flames Begin / Part II, which i know they’re probably sick of but it always turned out so good!!! and Turn It Off & Careful are my #1 picks. like, genuinely I need to hear them live or else. Also, Sugar on the Rim.

anyways i used to be better at pinpointing my favorite performances because i would watch them to a point where it was super concerning, now i’m a bit more mellow about it. however, since you asked i will attempt to deliver. just for you, dear anon.

this is in no particular order or anything, basically i’m just going off what i remember really saying damn this is good about (which is super easy when you love a band like paramore).

First off let’s start with the Miracle Outro performed during Brand New Eyes era. this song just goes so fucking hard and i curse Josh Farro for the fact that he wrote it so they couldn’t record it and release it since he left the band soon thereafter.

Paramore at Wembley Arena in 2009 — This concert is so good. like thank god this person filmed it and decided to upload it to youtube. I cannot get enough of Intro / Ignorance. truly.

RTMorasonMD had a great full concert vid from 2010, the sound quality is great for 2010 too. considering most of the time videos look like they were filmed with an nintendo D.S..

Paramore at The House of Blues in Anaheim, California (2006) this is like nostalgia city for me. I remember running my old paramore fan account on instagram and stumbling on this and being like… i’ve hit the paramore jackpot. shout out to Paramore History for always posting the real hard to find stuff… where would we be without you?

When Paramore performed Careful at Warped Tour in 2011 or like the whole Warped Tour Set — i will say this over and over again on this post but i have to be real with you when i say, i watched these videos so much it’s crazy. but careful was my favorite. i love careful. any performance or careful and i’m there.

Paramore live in Paris (2013) when i tell you i watched this religiously i mean it. i could probably do all the dance moves / movements hayley did in this specific video way back when. i was obsessed.

Paramore performing Let The Flames Begin / Part II at Bunbury in Cincinnati (2014) i just love this one. like all of these are just nostalgic for me and i can’t help but want to show you.

When Paramore performed Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen and then it went into Hallelujah by Paramore (lol) at Parahoy (2016). What a way to open the show. i mean, i remember watching the final riot and being totally in love with Hayley’s voice and the way she sang it. I think I was introduced to Hallelujah by Shrek but Paramore was the second one to show me the ways of Leonard Cohen. Thanks for that.

I Caught Myself in Hamburg (2017) is an obvious one but I feel like I had to mention it… the emotion Hayley fucking pours into this performance makes me want to cry.

Turn It Off live from Grand Casino in Hickley, MN (2017) we’ve all seen this one i think? but what an incredibly breath taking performance of turn it off. i mean.. damn.

Fake Happy performed at Rock for People in the Czech Republic (2017) the quality is insane for this one. I remember being totally obsessed with this. so i’m adding it here; to share with you.

Pool / Idle Worship in Paris (2018) something must be in the water when they go to paris because i love these videos.

Pool live in Amsterdam (2018) is another one that came to mind cuz the sound quality goes crazy. it’s just beautiful.

The full 2018 RED ROCKS show because the sound is great and i just remembered being obsessed with this. you’re kinda cracking my head open like an egg with this ask and i love it.

Paramore at Concrete Street Amphitheater (2018) incredible footage, incredible show.

Simmer live in Bakersfield (2022) i have to add this because she’s gone too soon. like they should be performing this one nonstop. but i also understand crystal clear is a bop so it’s fine… i’m fine. PLAY SUGAR ON THE RIM OR ELSE!!!

Crystal Clear debut in Dublin / Dreams (the cranberries cover) (2023) I mean….. we all know about the Dreams cover but I just have to add it here because wow. i love it. it’s incredible. and the crystal clear debut is just insane because the person filming that knew what they were doing. High Quality to the MAX baby.

Crave / Outro live at The O2 in London (2023) I mean I just love this video. like, what’s not to love.

Speaking of quality, this video of You First performed in Cleveland Ohio (2023) is available to watch in 2610p60, which basically means it’s better than your eyeballs. incredible stuff. just insane.

there’s probably a whole lot more i can’t think of at the moment, maybe i’ll make a list eventually. but i hope you like this in the mean time. ❤️ thanks for sending me this ask and letting me talk about my favorite band. send me an ask anytime (goes for everyone, i love this).

Andy Murray - The Flowers We'll Remember

I made this playlist halfway through the week, in between victories one and two. It tells me the story of Andy Murray's career as I experienced it, through songs that mean a lot to me, which is to say it might not make much sense to anyone else! So I've included some explanations below.

The title is related to a passage from the Ali Smith novel 'Summer'. It's about a summer day that told the gods it wanted to last forever, which the gods found hilarious.

Halfway Right by Linkin Park - 'I scream at myself when there's nobody left to fight', representing my earliest memories of Andy Murray, which involved a lot of him screaming at himself.

Hard Times by Paramore - Losing to Federer and Nadal and later Djokovic, but jauntily. A young man's losses.

The Heart Never Lies by McFly - 2012 Wimbledon final on-court interview 🥺

Love Forty Down by Frank Turner - I know he was 40-0 up at the end of the Wimbledon final, but functionally going from 40-0 to 40-Adv is basically the same thing 😂

Hold On by Twin Atlantic - back injuries :/ still sort of felt like it would all work out okay though, at least that was my understanding of it I think.

Don't Stop Me Now by Queen - Davis Cup at the end of 2015 through to World Tour Finals at the end of 2016. A euphoric period (ignore any losses to Djokovic in grand slam finals, we don't need to talk about those), but hard to look back on without thinking about what was coming.

Airfield by Enter Shikari - The Hip. Queens 2017 & 2017 Wimbledon QF to Australian Open 2019 'retirement'.

Wetsuit by The Vaccines - so get a hip operation, come on, come on

Get Better by Frank Turner - Bursting back to life/resurfacing in Cincinnati 2019. Also makes me think of 2019 'Resurfacing' documentary even though that didn't come out until later in the year.

Walk by the Foo Fighters - omg I've just realised I was thinking of the US Open 2020 not 2019... welp, timey wimey I guess, insert your preferred moment of watching Andy figure out how to play with his new hip

Mountains by Biffy Clyro - Antwerp 2019

Getting Old Sucks (But Everybody's Doing It) by Bowling For Soup - Pandemic through to 2023, including the post 4am fightback from two sets to love down against Thanasi Kokkinakis (see pics below). Getting old does suck, but Andy was really good at it.

Forever's Not Enough by McFly - "I want to play forever" (Wimbledon 2024)

26 by Paramore - a sad quiet song about hope, ie the only thing I was holding onto during the first half of that match against Nishikori and Daniel, which, lest we forget, was horrible

The Last Song by McFly - from 5 match points down through to breaking back in the second set against the Americans. Just pure fucking magic ✨ (thank you Dan!) ~~Epilogue section~~

Growing Up Beside You by Paolo Nutini - Andy Murray may be 11 years older than me, but so many of my memories of watching him play are tied to memories of times in my life. For example, I watched the 2016 World Tour Finals semi-final against Raonic in my student union, and vaguely remember trying not to show how stressed I was. I'm currently the age he was when he won Wimbledon the first time, so that's not terrifying at all...

The Way I Loved You (Taylor's Version) by Taylor Swift - I do really like Jannik Sinner but this could sort of be read as an indirect towards him? Although tbf watching post-puke Sinner power through tournaments has been its own kind of awesome. Honestly though, I don't think anyone will ever make me feel as much of a "rollercoaster kind of rush" on a tennis court as Andy Murray did anyway, not even the stress of watching Grigor Dimitrov try to hold a lead ❤️

Wouldn't Change a Thing - I really really wouldn't, and I hope Andy feels the same. Well, I mean, he'd probably choose not to have a hip injury, but you know what I mean 😆

Week 12: Nov. 24 vs. Kansas City

Week 13: Dec. 1 vs. Tampa Bay

Week 14: Dec 8 at Philadelphia

Week 15: Dec: 15 vs. Dallas

Week 16: Dec. 22 vs. Arizona

Week 17: Dec. 29 at Tampa Bay

Week 18: Jan. 4 or 5 at Atlanta*

Bold prediction

The Panthers will win eight games. It doesn't get much bolder than this since they've averaged 5.1 wins the past six seasons and haven't won more than seven games in a season since 2017, when they went 11-5. But with the league's third-easiest schedule, a weak NFC South and a much-improved roster, the potential is there.

McDonald’s Day 

McDonald’s Day takes place on the anniversary of the day in 1955 when Ray Kroc opened a McDonald’s in Des Plaines, Illinois. This was the first restaurant of his franchise, but the ninth McDonald’s restaurant overall. Kroc helped make McDonald’s the most known fast food restaurant in the world, but the story doesn’t start with him.

Brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald opened a barbeque restaurant in 1940 in San Bernardino, California. In 1948, they changed up their restaurant and introduced the “Speedee Service System.” Instead of having waiters bring food to tables, their restaurant had self-service counters. They used an assembly line format in the kitchen. Prepared food was wrapped and placed under heat lamps. They also simplified their menu to include only hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries, potato chips, sodas, milkshakes, and apple pies. All of these changes helped make food preparation and service quick and efficient, and kept their prices lower than competing diners. They sold their hamburgers for just 15 cents apiece.

Ray Kroc was a salesman who had sold malt and shake mixers to the McDonald brothers. He stopped at one of their locations in 1954 and convinced them to let him open a franchise for them, which he did on today’s date in 1955. At that time, Richard and Maurice McDonald claimed they had already served 15 million hamburgers over the previous seven years. In 1961, Kroc bought out of the McDonald brothers for 2.7 million dollars. By 1970 there were 1,000 McDonald’s restaurants, and by 1988 there were 10,000. By 2017 there were more than 37,000.

Over the years, McDonald’s has expanded to other countries, while also expanding their menu. They set up shop in Canada in 1967, and are now in over 120 countries. Their menu is often reflective of local tastes. For example, poutine is on the menu in Canada, and the McLobster sandwich is sometimes available in the New England area. Hamburgers and fries have remained a staple at McDonald’s, but there are many other foods that can be found at most McDonald’s as well. The Filet-O-Fish was created by a Cincinnati franchise owner in 1962 so that Catholic customers had something to eat during Lent. The Big Mac was created by a Pittsburgh franchise owner who wanted a sandwich geared for adults. He used ingredients that were already available at the restaurant. It debuted nationwide in 1968. The Egg McMuffin debuted in 1973, and Chicken McNuggets came out across the country in 1983.

Ronald McDonald has been the face of the restaurant since 1963, and for a time other characters of McDonaldland, such as Grimace and the Hamburglar, were part of the company’s marketing strategy as well. Happy Meals were introduced in 1979, in which a toy is included with a child’s meal. Yellow arches adorned the rooftops of early locations, but “M’s” started appearing outside of the restaurant in 1962, and have since been its most popular symbol.

McDonald’s has been criticized for its role in spreading obesity, although in recent years it began adding healthy items and getting rid of trans fats. It also discontinued its “supersized” portions offering. The company has also been criticized for paying its workers low wages. On the other hand, the company has been praised for its charitable work. The Ronald McDonald House was founded in 1974. It gives families of children in hospitals a place to stay. Today there are more than 360 Ronald McDonald Houses. The Ronald McDonald House Charities was founded in 1987 and has been involved in various charitable efforts that are focused on children.

How to Observe

Celebrate the day by eating at a McDonald’s! You could visit the spot where Ray Kroc opened his first McDonald’s in 1955. The restaurant was demolished in the 1980s and rebuilt as a museum. Sadly, the museum has since been demolished as well. There is a McDonald’s across the street you could eat at though! The first restaurant the McDonald’s brothers had, located in San Bernardino, has long since been closed. You could still visit the location, though, as there is a museum there, and part of the original McDonald’s sign remains. The oldest McDonald’s still in operation has been serving burgers since 1953 and can be visited in Downey, California. You could also watch Super Size Me, or The Founder, a biopic about Ray Kroc.

Spring Tour 2023: Goose Live @ Georgia Theatre

For the third time in four years, I have been fortunate enough to cover Goose for Concerthopper.com. This time around Goose came through my area on their Spring Tour 2023 and performed an intimate set at the historic Georgia Theatre located in the middle of downtown Athens, Georgia. Tickets for this event were just as hard to get as Master's tickets are at Augusta National. IYKYK (Thanks a lot, AXS.). For those who are not familiar with Goose, they are an American indie groove/funk/psychedelic rock/jam band that hails from Wilton, Connecticut, and started as a trio in 2014. The band originally consisted of Rick Mitarotonda (guitar/vocals), Trevor Weeks (bass), and Ben Atkind (drums). Peter Anspach (keyboards/guitar/vocals) was added in 2017 and then later Goose added Jeff Arevalo (percussion/vocals) in 2020. Goose has released three (3) LPs, two (2) EPs, and nine (9) live albums that are all amazing! If you were lucky enough to get their latest live album (2022.12.31 Cincinnati, Ohio) on preorder from Diggers Factory, 'Congratulations!' I know we are all eagerly awaiting this pressing to ship out later in the year!

Before doors opened the line, filled with eager and excited Goose fans, to enter the Georgia Theatre was wrapped around the building way down the side street. Whether doing photography or just attending a Goose show as a fan, you will always find me here smiling with my people! Honk Honk!

Let’s get back to this once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness Goose perform live at the Georgia Theatre. The eager and excited crowd gathered was a mixture of University of Georgia college students, fans of Goose, and those hard-core fans that travel with the band as much as possible during their tour dates. It is always nice to notice those familiar faces in the crowd that attend every Goose show that you also attend. If you follow Goose while on tour, I am sure that you can spot some recognizable faces riding the rail during other tour dates across the United States thanks to other concert photographers.

Once Goose came on stage, the gracious crowd erupted with a loud and all-so-familiar “GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!!”. This tradition has become one of my favorite things to do as a show of affection and love toward the entire band. Not knowing what was coming song-wise, the audience puts their trust in Goose to take them on a journey through their musical soundscape. Some of the things that I love about Goose aren’t always music, for instance; Trevor’s bass face while performing is something serious as he lays down some crunchy and funky bass lines. Or Pete’s ever-present smile as he either talks to the crowd showing love and support or while he is just jamming on the keys/guitar, you can tell that Pete is all about making the crowd smile along with him. Another thing that I love to see, is Rick’s face as he gets deeper and deeper in the sauce while he’s playing guitar. The more I see Goose play, the more I believe Rick is defining his craft even more with each note he performs. A master of his craft! Well, let’s not forget the percussion pieces of Goose because the excitement from both Ben and Jeff also shines bright as they lay down some funky beats. Goose makes sure that each song performed is an experience to remember as the crowd dances away their worries during the performance.  

Check out the setlist from this sold-out show at the Georgia Theatre below:

Set 1: “Tumble, Time to Flee” [1] -> “Green River” [2], “Flodown”, “Thatch”, “Silver Rising”, “The Empress of Organos” -> Trevor Reads Poetry [3] -> “The Empress of Organos” Set 2: “Arcadia”, “Slow Ready” > “Rock The Casbah” [4], “Hot Tea” -> “Turned Clouds” > “Hot Tea” [5] Encore: “Escape (The Piña Colada Song)” [6] Teases: "After Midnight" tease in Hot Tea Coach's Notes: [1] Unfinished. [2] Creedence Clearwater Revival. [3] “Fuck The Pain Away” by Peaches. [4] The Clash. [5] With “After Midnight” tease from Peter. [6] Rupert Holmes.

Joan Osborne at Memorial Hall OTR, Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 18, 2023

“We learnt that one special just fer you,” Joan Osborne said after she and her backing duo began their encore with the theme from “WKRP in Cincinnati.”

It was Saturday night (Nov. 18) in the Queen City. And small but appreciative crowd that gave two standing ovations inside Memorial Hall OTR’s Anderson Theatre let loose a mix of laughter and applause before Osborne, keyboardist Will Bryant and guitarist Jack Petruzzelli proceeded to wrap their 75-minute gig with “Take it Any Way I Can Get It,” a Allmanesque blower from 2020’s Trouble and Strife.

Osborne played acoustic rhythm guitar on this one, something she did on roughly half of 13 songs that bridged the 28 years between Relish’s “Pensacola,” “St. Teresa” and “One of Us” and the title track, “Woman’s Work” and other cuts from 2023’s Nobody Owns You, which Osborne called “my most-personal album” to date.

“Thanks, Mom,” the singer, from just across the river in Kentucky, said between multiple songs when the audience, which included extended family members, cheered setlist selections. In the spirit of familial ties, Osborne tapped her sister Bex and Bex’s wife, Katy Quinn, who perform as the folk duo Griffytown, to open with a 30-minute set of love songs dedicated to peace.

With a laptop piping in percussion when Osborne wasn’t shaking a tambourine - as on the trio’s gritty version of Bob Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited” - or adding brushed snare drum to the slinky suggestiveness of Muddy Waters’ “I Want to be Loved,” this small trio made big sounds. Osborne’s guitar work - in the past little more than a few chords on a couple of songs - was a major part of this. Whether she brushed up her skills during the pandemic or just decided to bring another of her many talents to the stage is unknown.

On Osborne’s right, in a faux-tuxedo T, sat Bryant alternating between keys and grand piano. To the left was black-clad Petruzzelli playing acoustic and electric leads and rhythm. In the middle, sporting a red, flowered dress over loose-fitting black pants, was the singer. She occasionally sprayed her throat and dabbed at sweat on her neck with a black towel but was otherwise an unflappable and alluring presence as she danced around the stage, stood head-to-head with Petruzzelli in classic guitar-goddess style and reinforced the musical importance of tambourine and shakers.

And that voice. From passionate, wordless fills on several songs to the fervor of Dylan’s “Gotta Serve Somebody” - a “live-only bonus track” that does not appear on 2017’s Songs of Bob Dylan - Osborne the singer remains the centerpiece of everything Osborne the artist has to offer.

Wheeling Nailers Add Goaltender Tendeck to Preseason Roster

The Wheeling Nailers, proud ECHL affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins, are excited to announce their 17th player signing of the 2023 offseason. Wheeling has signed goaltender David Tendeck to an ECHL contract. Tendeck, 23, is entering his fourth professional season, after spending the first three years of his career in the Arizona Coyotes organization. David played the majority of two seasons with the Rapid City Rush, and finished with a save percentage over .900 in both campaigns. He then followed Arizona's affiliation change to the Atlanta Gladiators and finished second on the team with 12 wins in 2022-23. Tendeck saw AHL action in back-to-back seasons with the Tucson Roadrunners, as he posted a 2.64 goals against average and a .914 save percentage in nine appearances. "David is a great goaltender, who has had success in both the AHL and ECHL, and we are very excited to have him in our organization," said Nailers Head Coach Derek Army. "He is extremely passionate about winning, and we are looking forward to having his energy on our team." Prior to turning pro, the North Vancouver, British Columbia native played four full seasons of junior hockey with the WHL's Vancouver Giants. Tendeck's junior career began to take off in 2017-18, when he finished ninth in the WHL with 25 wins, which led him to being selected by the Coyotes in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. David followed that up by leading the Giants to the Ed Chynoweth Cup Final, thanks to playoff series wins over Seattle, Victoria, and Spokane. The netminder saved his best statistical season for last in Vancouver, as he wrapped up his junior career with a 2.29 goals against average and a .920 save percentage at age 20. David Tendeck and the Wheeling Nailers will open the 2023-24 season on the road against the Cincinnati Cyclones on Saturday, October 21st.

Annie O’Malley: Behind the Songs

From mid summer to November 2017, a 17 year old singer performed in the famed Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio as the opening act for the band Chicago. It was the first big performance she had ever done, just her and her guitar in front of the 20,000 person venue. She continued to tour with the band, opening for 16 different shows over the course of the tour. Since then, she has grown into an exceptional musician, as she now has over 100,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

Annie O’Malley is a musician based in Los Angeles with an extensive musical background; she has been singing since she could talk. Since 2018, she has released a lot of music. Her first album titled “Skrapbook” in late 2022 and recently released a single titled “11th hour”, out on April 14, 2023.

Since the age of eight, Annie has been writing her own songs. Her first performance was when she was nine years old, playing original songs on her guitar and singing at her school’s winter concert.

“My choir teacher told us that we could bring like a song in to sing as a solo or something, so I decided to write one,” Annie said, “I performed it at the christmas show with my guitar in front of 800 people and the choir sang on the chorus with me. That was the first time I got to perform my own music and I never wanted to stop.”

Throughout her childhood, Annie struggled with school and used music as an escape, as it made her feel understood and helped her express her emotions.

“When I was in elementary school, I went to a private school and I had a lot of learning disabilities,” she described. “They never tried to help me, they made it my fault, told me I was dumb and lazy. So at a very young age I remember feeling so numb and hopeless.”

Because of how her school treated her, she had a hard time with her self image and still is affected by what happened to her. In addition, Annie struggled with spelling and reading, and later made that a part of her brand, as many of her songs have titles and lyrics with words that are spelled differently. Despite her struggles at school, at home she would create music, music videos, and create all sorts of art.

“I remember laying in my room late at night a lot, so stressed because I didn't do my homework because I didn't know how, but at least I could grab my guitar.”

The dream of growing and going on a big tour continued to fuel her to be a better musician and work as hard as possible. Her younger self always dreamed of becoming the next Taylor Swift, someone she looked up to often. However, the path of music wasn't without its struggles.

“There have been times in my life where I got too comfortable where I was and I didn’t push hard enough, but usually something would happen that would remind me how much I want this and I would get inspired and keep pushing.”

Though her parents didn’t create music of their own, they were always supportive of her growth as a musician, and would aid her in her music creation when she was too young to do it all by herself. When Annie was young, her mother would often help her write song lyrics when she was having trouble, and continued to support her after she was able to write them herself.

“They always encouraged my love for music but they never pushed me in a ‘living vicariously’ sort of way. My mom would always say ‘why not you?’”

Throughout her career, her mindset has changed to be more positive in how the music she puts out makes her feel.

“Everytime I release music, I make sure that I genuinely love what's being put out, that why if it gets 0 streams I'm still really proud of it,” she described, “In the past I have had songs that I didn't love and when they didn’t do well I took it personally. When I release with this new mindset, it keeps me excited for the next project and any bit of attention the songs get is an extra bonus to me.“

Annie talked about her past self and her experience with music throughout her life.

“In life we stray from our child-like selves sometimes and recently I've learned how important it is to keep her near me in every moment of my life,” she said. “My younger self was fearless when it came to music, and I think as time went on I developed so many fears that have created more resistance for myself. I’m working on letting go of those fears by facing them head on. *wink wink* reference to album 2 *wink wink*”

For the vast majority of Annie’s songs, she takes inspiration from her current life. Self reflection and talking about feelings are big parts in how she was raised and how she writes her music now. She believes that being honest with your emotions leads to a fulfilling life. Her songs focus on these subjects, with very few being partly fictional.

“When you do a lot of self reflection and you stay very curious there is so much inspiration everywhere. I also believe I am a vessel that gets sent music and if that's the case I'll never run out of ideas.”

Annie’s first album, “Skrapbook”.

Her debut album, titled “Skrapbook”, reflects her past experiences in life and with relationships. “Skrapbook (title page)” was the song that inspired the name and theme of the album, even though most of the album had been already written and released beforehand, such as “in beetween”, “preshure”, and “wait 4 yew”.

“The most exciting part about releasing Skrapbook was seeing something I was genuinely so proud of for so long out in the world.” Annie then further described her feelings about her latest release. “With ‘11th hour’ having 1,300 streams in the first 5 minutes was insane, and 22k the next morning, was unreal,” she said. “This release has made me so excited to keep pushing and work hard because I got a little taste of recognition for what I've been doing and I know that if I just keep going more people will find me and my art and we will build this together.”

As Annie continues to grow as an artist, fans can expect more from her in the near future such as a second album. In another article, written by Emily May, Annie talked about the impact of her music.

“When life gets hard, it’s only you that will get you through it but music can act as a life raft when it feels like you’re drowning. If I can provide that for someone, that’s the greatest gift in the world.”

COLONY HOUSE releases “Would Ya Could Ya,” in anticipation of The Cannonballers, dropping 2/3/23

The music of Colony House—an indie rock band made up of brothers Will and Caleb Chapman, as well as Scott Mills and Parke Cottrell—is playfully self-described as “landlocked surf rock.” Their personal genre designation is as much inspired by their hometown of Franklin, Tenn., as their new album The Cannonballers is: within 11 tracks, the band delves into where they come from and how a place, and its memories, have made them. “It’s too easy getting sucked into the grind of everyday life… the hustle and the hurry we all willingly subject ourselves to,” Caleb says of the newest single. “‘Would Ya Could Ya’ is about breaking the mold. At surface level, it’s a ‘let’s get outta here’ open road, never look back type of cruiser, but beneath the surface, I think it recognizes that we are often the obstacle standing in our own way and that it’s up to us to make the next move.” Following the February 3rd release of The Cannonballers, Colony House will embark on a national tour, kicking off on February 11th at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. Dates HERE.  The Cannonballers marks the band’s fourth full-length release: their three previous studio collections take listeners on a journey through stories of loss, grief, and heartbreak while welcoming them into the hope that comes on the other side. Their 2014 debut, When I Was Younger, included the single “Silhouettes,” which became the #1 most played track on Sirius XM’s Alt Nation for four months straight. Only The Lonely, whose title and demeanor pay tribute to the vintage sounds of Roy Orbison and the Beach Boys, followed in 2017. The surf-rock hit, “You Know It,” went viral on Tik Tok, and has amassed 100 million streams across all platforms to date, after being featured as the soundtrack to Samsung Mobile’s nationwide ad campaign. Leave What’s Left Behind was released in January of 2020; the band managed to play half of their 40 city headline tour before being forced to pause alongside the rest of the world. Like many touring artists, they found different ways to continue to create, producing and directing a full-length feature film, “Everybody’s Looking For Some Light,” which was an official selection at the Nashville and Knoxville Film Festivals. The movie debuted at a two-day drive-in event produced by the band at Greystone Quarry in Franklin, TN. Over 2,000 people (in over 600 cars) showed up to watch the film and see Colony House perform. The band has performed their songs for worldwide audiences with two appearances on both Late Night with Seth Meyers and CONAN, as well as The Today Show, VH1’s “Morning Buzz,” and MTV Live. They have also been part of several festival lineups including Shaky Knees, Austin City Limits, Firefly, WonderBus, and Lollapalooza. 2023 will see them adding Bonnaroo to that already impressive list. The Cannonballers is an apt addition to the band’s catalog, staying true to what Colony House does best, and expanding on what their fans have gravitated to for the past decade: hope and light in the midst of it all. No frills, no gimmicks. Just heart-level rock and roll music. The Cannonballers is now available to PRE-SAVE and will be out everywhere on February 3rd, 2023.
