SPRING CONCERTS | THE 1975


After being one of my fave sets at coachella, I just had to see these guys live again. The 1975 kicked off their north american tour in san francisco just days after their coachella debut. What was originally planned as one show turned into three: 2 in SF and 1 in sacramento. They are incredible live and I would hands down recommend a show to anyone. Matty has a way of connecting with the audience, and his nightly bottle of wine on stage adds such a carefree flare. What's even more adorable is no matter how fucked up he got every night, he would stay after to meet some fans who waited outside the venue. For this and everything else, I just love him so much.

On the day of the 2nd SF show, we decided to go to their signing at rasputin music downtown. They were doing an acoustic set before, but since the line was so long (idk why these kids were not in school) we didn't think we would make it in for that part. Much to our surprise, the store let more people in than expected and we got to enjoy and acoustic version of "sex" and "chocolate". amazing. After that, everyone who had purchased the required CD lined up for the signing. Unfortunately, the band sat on the other side of a large table so pictures other than distant selfies were not possible.

We didn't have tickets to the 2nd show and in some beyond explanation way we got guest listed by Matty. Yes, let that thought settle in. guest listed by fucking matt healy. Makes the list of top concert moments for sure. After another amazing night, we couldn't help but add a third show to our agenda, sacramento.

For this show, we got guest listed by one of the opening acts, the bad suns, and enjoyed another night in concert glory. As much as I wanted to continue on for more, I time and planning wouldn't allow me to venture off to the midwestern states & canada. until next time, boys!
