“Howdy all people,
I assume the cat is out of the bag… but once more. Now that issues have returned to regular (lol not!) Sam and I reconnected final 12 months to try to discover a technique to lastly do these Format exhibits that have been presupposed to occur simply as Covid began hitting us laborious.
Clearly first we’d wish to apologize for constantly dragging out the make up dates- I believe we optimistically wished issues would normalize lots sooner. Sadly that wasn’t the case and we had no selection however to scrap the exhibits altogether.
Secondly- we’re sorry the exhibits final time have been such a headache for most individuals to get tickets for. Honestly, and in typical Format vogue, we wished to play smaller venues in the course of the first run of exhibits as a result of that’s what appeared like a low strain, good time cling to us- and we weren’t even remotely planning on you guys breaking the ticketing web site attempting to get into these exhibits.
With that debacle in mind- we’ve determined to play a lot bigger (and scarier 🫣) venues in order that hopefully everybody will get an opportunity to come back see us play. The Beacon in New York is one in every of our favourite theaters wherever. Hollywood Perpetually looks as if a particular place to see a present, not to mention put one on, and lastly Sam and I have been at dinner one night time attempting to determine a singular place to play in our hometown when Sam mentioned “keep in mind after we used to go to the Arizona State Honest as children to see a few of our favourite bands within the 90s?…I do know it sounds loopy however we should always play that”.
…I nonetheless assume it sounds loopy, however we’re gonna try this anyway…AND as our first present again in like 20 years. So right here goes nothing!
To organize for this madness, we’ve all been getting collectively lots recently attempting to re study all this material- and I’m sincere to god really actually excited to play these things and sing these songs with a few of my oldest and dearest buddies.
For the final like 10 years I’ve been a lot happier and far more sane at dwelling elevating children, and I advised myself it must take one thing so particular to even take my thoughts off of that- and this reunion and getting ready for these exhibits (particularly this go round) have been nothing in need of magical to date. I didn’t even notice how a lot I missed these songs (and this group).
Effectively, we hope you’ve gotten too, and we hope that when we stand up on the stage we will all have a good time collectively. Im fairly certain most of us might use an evening out and away from the madness. Let’s simply hope the madness doesn’t find yourself attempting to cancel this spherical of exhibits too…
Within the meantime- keep secure. See you quickly,
Nate”
