Not really sure. I generally don't pay much attention to where they're touring other than the local show... If you post something on their fb page though maybe somebody there will know.

Going to their show tonight, am so excited.

No one had any idea.

No one.

ZOMG CONCERT TOMORROW

Act III is giving me chills right now. This has never happened before.

Tripp · « **Reply #1859 on:** August 27, 2011, 02:57:43 AM »

am on le right.

Was an epic show, and I'm too tired to write anything else, so I'll just copy my latest Facebook status.

"Well, I can honestly say that The Dear Hunter has put on one of the best shows I've ever seen, or heard, in all my life. The only thing I disliked was the 120° plus 400% humidity. Although, I did get to talk to the lead singer (Casey) and get a picture with him. All in all, amazing night."

Listening to Act II for the first time all the way through, so far so good, although from what I've heard so far, I prefer Act III.

Sigz · « **Reply #1861 on:** August 28, 2011, 01:42:32 PM »

Awesome show last night. Some guy tried to start a mosh pit during He Said He Had a Story

It was the last show of the tour too, and Casey was super nice and grateful and everything. Wonderful guy.

I'm sorry, I wish I did.

WebRaider · « **Reply #1865 on:** August 28, 2011, 09:35:38 PM »

Ok, I have listened to all of two songs and really dig both of them (City Escape and Filth and Squalor)... Where do I start from here?

Sigz · « **Reply #1866 on:** August 28, 2011, 09:36:44 PM »

Act III!

Just pick something. You can't go wrong with any of it.

ZBomber · « **Reply #1868 on:** August 28, 2011, 09:47:18 PM »

Go in order.. Act I, II, then III. And finally The Color Spectrum!

DejaVu · « **Reply #1869 on:** August 28, 2011, 10:31:10 PM »

Act II takes a lot to sink in, I think it's more complex and a lot more deeper than Act III, and generally their best album. I'm not sure if it's just me, but Act III seemed more poppy and mainstream (kind of like Coheed and Cambria's 'No World For Tomorrow'), but incredibly catchy!

I can't find these albums anywhere in the UK, had to import from US. It shames me that such an amazing band becomes a ghost amongst the realms of Gaga and Minaj. Complete shambles!

Not having power really makes me realize how much I love TH. I've them stuck in my head, and I just want to listen to them, but I can't. It really sucks.

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #1872 on:** August 29, 2011, 09:38:47 AM »

I made sure to fully charge my iPod in anticipation of the storm

PuffyPat · « **Reply #1873 on:** August 29, 2011, 12:17:39 PM »

II don't actually own their music yet, so even if I had a fully charged ipod it wouldn't make a difference.

ZBomber · « **Reply #1874 on:** August 29, 2011, 11:14:48 PM »

You were the only one that didn't folddddddddd

Super Dude · « **Reply #1875 on:** August 30, 2011, 07:30:46 AM »

I would just like to say TDH is awesome road trip music.

(Admittedly, I feel bad for my poor mother sitting through all these songs she doesn't like

)

faemir · « **Reply #1876 on:** August 30, 2011, 08:18:04 AM »

Got into TCS a bit more, Violet is great.

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #1877 on:** August 30, 2011, 08:48:51 AM »

Heck yes. Violet is definitely the one that sounds the most like the Acts stuff. I think "Look Away" might be my favorite song on all of TCS.

This is why Violet is one of my favorites. I love the sound of the Acts and really hope Casey doesn't move the band too far in another direction.

LEAVE THE PAIN BEHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND!

Super Dude · « **Reply #1880 on:** August 30, 2011, 09:06:22 AM »

That's actually why I like Violet the least. The other colors show just how versatile they are as a band; they're not a one-trick pony.

That's not to say the Acts sound is bad, but if I wanted to listen to that side of TDH I'd listen to the Acts.

This. Violet is great, but when I wanna listen to bits of TCS, I usually pick other EPs just because the other ones are so different from the Acts.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #1884 on:** August 30, 2011, 10:02:30 AM »

Violet is pretty much the only EP I listen to anymore off TCS.

I still love pretty much all of it, but for some reason I only ever want to listen to Violet.

I can unerstand that. I think the Acts are just about the greatest music I've ever heard in my life, so you can understand why I'd like more of that over what I consider to be lesser music from TDH. But I ddo enjoy nearly all of the TCS. Indigo is still the only one that I find to be pretty dull.

Super Dude · « **Reply #1886 on:** August 30, 2011, 11:28:26 AM »

I agree that it's dull in its execution, but the concept itself was interesting.

ZBomber · « **Reply #1887 on:** August 30, 2011, 12:18:33 PM »

No way. Indigo is amazing, very spacey and great to just chill out to.

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #1888 on:** August 30, 2011, 12:22:12 PM »

Interesting. I feel like Indigo is generally the fan-favorite amongst existing TDH fans. As for the general sound change, I wouldn't worry too much. There are still 3 or 4 Acts to go...

Which is so strange to me. I've been a huge TDH fan longer than nearly everyone here and I think Indigo is by far the worst on the album. I really don't see the appeal at all. I find it really dull and boring and about as far away from the Acts as anything on TCS.

The ony thing I worry about is the interview with Casey from a few pages back where he makes it sound like he's not really all that interested in finishing the Acts and might just release them all at once digitally or something. He seems to have moved on musically from them. Which is fine if that's what he wants to do. I would just be disappointed if he didn't put the effort into finishing the story as he put in the first 3 Acts.
