THE WARNING: New 3-piece Hard Rock Band of Sisters v "Keep Me Fed" 6/28/24

[SoundscapeMN]

I'd love to see them, but I think I'd have to travel during a time when I'll be pretty busy with work.

I think their new EP is digital only, but I understand it to be the first half of their next album, which will hopefully get a physical release. I bought it on iTunes and definitely don't regret it.

Yeah, Mayday is their first label release. The label decided to put out half of the album now as a teaser and the whole thing is supposed to be released sometime next year.

The first 2 albums are independent releases that they supply themselves. I had to wait months to get my copies as they were getting a fresh batch made up in Minnesota. Since those 2 albums they signed a 5 album deal so going forward their new music should be more readily available once the label stops letting Covid drive their thinking. They do offer uncompressed downloads of the old albums on their site. Almost all the way at the bottom on the homepage. Not sure that is your thing, but thought I'd mention it.

There 1st 2 albums were repressed in Minnesota?..interesting. I'll have to mention that to a co-worker of mine. While I do enjoy them, this co-worker of mine has become competely obsessed with The Warning.  He just got his VIP tickets for the Minneapolis show on February 1st per a Presale code he got through their Patreon.

He's on their Patreon, goes to their discord channel regularly, and knows more or less eveything about all 3 of them.

The last couple of days he's been bugging me to get a ticket. I may, alhough the club it's at, The Fine Line Music Cafe, I'm hardly thrilled with per my wife and I just saw Mayer Hawthorne there a few weeks ago and most of the show, there were people babbling on incredibly loudly I had to move away from them frequently during the show. And I've had that experience previously at The Fine Line, per what I believe happens are people go to these clubs to SOCIALIZE and don't really care that much about the artist they paid money to get into the club to see, lol.

The Fine Line's seating is limited to an upstairs balcony area, and I would imagine if the seating is not sold out from Presales like he bought, it will (I tend to want seating per my back tends to bother me when standing for over 90 minutes in 1 place).

So I may have to pass. I'm unsure. They do have a Vaccine policy, however during the Mayer Hawthorne show, a lot of people were not wearing masks of course. Plus it's on a weeknight in downtown where the crime rates have been pretty bad of course.

I always cringe when I see bands I like coming to Vancouver to play.  We suck.

Unless it's hip-hop or rap or poop nobody here gives a damn and I'd hate it if bands come here once and then say "never again"... which is pretty much what happens.  They will go to Calgary/Edmonton and then skip Vancouver and go right to Seattle.

NB - Not a typo.

[ProfessorPeart]

There 1st 2 albums were repressed in Minnesota?..interesting.

Yep. As a heavy Discogs user I have become well versed in pressing plants. They used the ADS Group there. ADS is used by a lot of independent artists and small labels. Many of my recent albums have come out of ADS.

I actually added the represses of both albums to Discogs once I had them in hand.

[bosk1]

I think I may pay the overpriced shipping and order the CD from their site.  Who knows--could become one of those highly sought after rarities if they hit it big and do a formal label re-pressing later. 

[pg1067]

I might check out the Santa Ana show.

[bosk1]

Listening to another live show while at work.  Some of their vocal harmonies really remind me of Drain STH.  I wonder if there is any influence, or if it is just coincidence.  I also hear a lot of Doro Pesch in Dany's vocal delivery.

I really like the punk influences and swagger of some of their older material that you get in those live videos.  But I also like the modern sound from some of the newer songs like Choke and Disciple (which are both WAY better than Evolve, IMO).

[SoundscapeMN]

bump.

their Winter tour was supposed to kickoff this week (1/18 in San Diego), but it's now been pushed back to the Spring.

[ProfessorPeart]

Have to say, a late April show in Chicago is much more appealing than the first week of February. I'm okay with this.

30 minute documentary piece there, of all places, Jay-Z's streaming platform.

[ProfessorPeart]

Oh man, this reminded me that the Chicago was supposed to happen last night. That would have been a disaster with the storm. I was out clearing my driveway when I should have been on my way to the show.

Very happy about the postponement now.

[Cool Chris]

Gave these albums a good listen today, as much as I can give anything a good listen while digging a trench. The first I thought was not much more than OK, I enjoyed the second much more.

[ProfessorPeart]

Was waiting for a performance of Z. Ale's bass on this is just monstrous. Such a groove. Dany with a little solo as well. This track has been a favorite ever since the EP came out.

This is a great lineup.

Even though my interest in Halestorm is waning bigly for the last two albums, my interest in The Pretty Reckless has grown.  The track with Soundgarden is amazing.

Then add The Warning to it and it's a yummy recipe.  Dani gives me a major Lzzy vibe but the way she was 10 years ago.

But, they aren't coming anywhere near me so I guess I'm out of luck again (DT with Arch Echo was another dream show that didn't happen for me).

[bosk1]

That's actually a pretty weird tour itinerary in that they are skipping NYC and the entire west coast. 

[ProfessorPeart]

Talking about weird, Halestorm is playing Summerfest in Milwaukee on July 7th, then all 3 bands are playing Michgan on the 8th and then The Pretty Reckless and The Warning are both playing the same stage at Summerfest on the 9th.

As much I would like to see that tour, I'm just happy to catch The Warning's headline show in Chicago on 4/28. I've seen Halestorm a few times and The Pretty Reckless once when they opened for Halestorm. Lzzy actually tipped me off to both of those bands by calling them out on her socials.

[pg1067]

I'm tentatively going to see The Warning on May 26.  The venue is a small club and an even smaller room within that club.  According to a guy at my office, his daughter's high school band played there, so the capacity sounds like it's going to be REALLY small.  The interesting thing is that the venue's website says tickets are $20, but when you click the link to buy, it takes you to Live Nation, and the only thing available is a $97 (plus fees) GA resale ticket (singular).

[SoundscapeMN]

Saw them last night in Minneapolis.

Fantastic show!..great energy, playing to the crowd, etc.

I'm starting to like a lot of the work from Queen of the Murder Scene more now.

review pending on YouTube

[ProfessorPeart]

I see them tonight in Chicago. Going to be a fun night!

[pg1067]

Looks like the show in Santa Ana is sold out and all that's available are $100+ secondary market tickets.  If that's the case, I'll be passing.

[ProfessorPeart]

Chicago show was fantastic! Placed filled up pretty good for a band that has been mostly independent up until recently. The crowd was raucous and singing along and handling backup. The sound was excellent. Just a hair louder than it needed to be, but every instrument was crisp and all vocals could be clearly heard. Ale's bass was just a monster. She is just a ridiculous player. My eyes were fixated mostly on Paulina. She is just so fun to watch. The energy and the passion and the interplay with the crowd. She knows how to keep attention and still play amazingly well.

My only disappointment is that I really wanted Queen Of The Murder Scene. Instead we got Ugh, so I'm not all that upset.

Pretty funny as I scanned the room to get a feel for the fanbase. It's exactly what I expected. Mainly half middle-aged white dudes and half young Hispanics. Narcisista and Martirio were big hits with the crowd.

Wished they played longer, but for $25 I feel we got our money's worth.

[SoundscapeMN]

Dull Knives (Cut Better) is a new favorite of mine.

"Survive" live is off the charts. It's so infectious, and they have this amazing inertia and energy on that one.

[Cool Chris]

I should like this band more than I do.

[goo-goo]

Their full album was released today as well. So far, so good.

How does this compare to previous releases?

[goo-goo]

The previous ones were hit or miss for me. But this album is very solid from start to finish. A bit polished but I think that is what they needed. Hope they release physical copies.

[Cool Chris]

Good to hear. I heard a few bits and pieces from them and thought what the hell I'll just buy those two albums basically blind, but they ended up being hit or miss for me too.

[SoundscapeMN]

ERROR is really good.

For some reason, the MayDay tunes sound better or have grown on me a little more, plus the new tracks I'm really digging.

[SoundscapeMN]

bump.

it hasn't been made public, but a fanatical coworker of mine whose whose part of their Patreon, just today got word that they are going to Open for MUSE in Mexico for 4 dates including their hometown in Monterrey, on Muse's current tour in the next 10 days.

Pretty big deal, and should give them exposure to a ton of new fans.

Saw some pics from when they opened for G&R in Monterey, one of those rare moments where the stadium was packed for the opener. Gotta love it


Still need to do a thorough dive into their discography, but Black Holes is a heartwrenching song, absolutely breathtaking.

[ProfessorPeart]

Their first 2 albums are excellent. Queen Of The Murder Scene is easily my favorite of theirs. They have no business being that good at that age. Just crazy.

That comes to my mind as well, not the skill, been spinning Japanese prodigies for way too long to doubt the skill of youngsters, but the maturity in their writing. There's some serious life experience packed into some of what I've heard, both in theme and composition, that totally belies their age. Only band I can think of that young that sounds that experienced is Asterism, and their instrumental.
