Touche Amore -- Pomona, CA -- May 26th, 2012

[XDoomsayerX]

New to the boards but I’ve always visited so I decided to join. Also, I’m real good buds with srm90. First time doing this so I may suck. On to the show!

The show was at The Glasshouse and when I got there I walked in and Holy Fever had just finished their set. Ghostlimb played before them. Never heard of any of these two bands so I did not mind missing them. Joyce Manor hit the stage and the crowd was really into them. Tons of moshing and jumping especially during Constant Headache and 5 Beer Plan. I watched from a distance because I didn’t feel that great but I definitely want to check them out again. I got the setlist from a previous show but it seems about right.

Joyce Manor (setlist.fm and me)
Derailed
Violent Inside
Leather Jacket
Constant Headache
Beach Community
Comfortable Clothes
Orange Julius
Call Out (Laundry)
Chumped
Five Beer Plan
Constant Nothing

Now the band I came to see Touche Amore. Ever since I found out about Touche Amore in November last year they have become one of my favorite bands so I was super pumped to see them for the first time. I missed them earlier in the year due to work. I think the setlist was almost perfect, just missing Suckerfish and Throwing Copper. The new song sounded great and something to note was that it is longer than their usual song lengths, clocked in about 4 mins. Even though I did not feel that great I still went nuts during their set and sang my ass off. Sooo much crowdsurfers and moshing it was awesome. No stage diving at The Glasshouse but overall it was a great show. Hell, Honest Sleep live is worth the price of admission, that end verse!! Hot Water Music was the headliner but I left after Touche Amore because I had a research paper to work on. Plus I am not too familiar with their music.

Welcome to our not so humble community. With that out of the way.


Holy shit that song was fantastic

Welcome aboard!

I like Joyce Manor but it seems weird to me that people were moshing during their set. I wish I could have gotten a Touche set like that when I saw them in April, they were the headliner when I saw them but they only played for 30 minutes.

Upset I had to miss them at Chaos. Great set.

Wow, great set. I haven't been into them lately but I would have liked to see that. I actually wonder how many other people left after them, since they've gotten so huge recently.

I stuck around the merch table after Touche's set cuz Jeremy was running it and it seemed many fans were there for just them. BUT a horde of HWM fans came in while I hung out there. Also I met Jeremy, dude seemed super shy but he said thanks for coming and signed my ticket so it's all good.
