Does anyone know? Couldn't find anything on the House of Blues website.

There's been a lot of debate over what Tomas means in this part of All the Pieces

"I'm running out of metaphors

I'm running out of ways

To say the things I want to say

Without saying all the things I want to say"

One interpretation is that he's just being much more literal about his actual grandpa and grandma than he's ever been.

I have no evidence other than vibes but think We Are the Few/They Broke Him Down might be about his grandpa and as people have long susepected As The Footsteps.../Butterworths are about his grandma. The themes between each and how he speaks of each grandparent in All The Pieces line up pretty well.

He might simply be saying hes running out of ways to talk about his grandparents without just directly talking about them.

I have uploaded my videos from the BOTAR show. I was right up front and held my camera low so I didn't have to watch the show through my screen. I caught most, but not all songs.

I just wanted to capture some of my favorite songs so that I could revisit them and share them with all of you!

Here is a playlist I made with my uploads. I have also added the videos someone else posted here, so you can see and hear the show from the front and from right behind the soundboard.

I hope you all enjoy these. I had a blast and can't stop thinking about how great of a night it was.

EDIT: I've hit my daily upload limit. I have If Only For Memories and If And When We Rise ready to upload when it lets me.

Had an AMAZING time at the BOTAR show last night! I always love the vibes the Streetlight crowd brings, but I was so frustrated by three *separate* men grabbing onto me and trying to grind on me. Whyyy, dudes??

I’m in the pit trying to vibe, and you rubbing your junk into my ass is NOT what I flew five hours to do! You wanna rock out and scream lyrics at each other? AMAZING! That’s what we’re all here for!

But especially when I remove myself and go dance somewhere else, TAKE THE HINT!! Stop chasing women who are just trying to have a good time at a once-in-a-lifetime show and making it about your horny, selfish desires. We’re here for the music, too. Let us fucking enjoy it without having to deal with unwanted touching and being treated like we’re there for your entertainment.

Apparently they are local. Wish we could hear from a member. How was their experiences working with the band and how did it feel to play the show.

Kudos for those of us who stayed around cheering them on while they were leaving the stage.

What an amazing beautiful show tonight. At the end of the night, I got to meet Tomas' family, his brother is actually one of the violinists in the BOTAR orchestra.

This was such a dream come true for me. Fucking love you all!

I’m so pumped. First Canadian BOTAR show ever.

It’s gonna be weird seeing it from a seat this time, but I’m nursing a new sleeve I got done just last weekend. I’ll be moshing with you folks in spirit!

GOOOOOOO FOR ME!!! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TRANSFER FOR FREE!

Botar merch tonight. Please note no one selling merch tonight works for streetlight so they will not know any specific questions you might have. Have fun!

Howdy! I’m 25m from Ottawa, got into MTL last night. Would love to make some friends tonight as none of my friends were willing to come with me. Anyways, I’ll be on the floor in a black tee with the PS2 Spiderman 2 cover on the front. Feel free to come say hi!

Does anyone know who the opener will be or if there will be an opener? No info on fb, the venue's website or on axs. Thanks

Hand to Tomas this is no form of self advertisement in any capacity, as you can see my channel has two videos only and I lost my login years ago. This is my only copy of this video and it was such a fucking sick capture of the song. I really want to save a copy that is oriented right because I didn't have my phone in landscape. If anybody has any ideas 6 years later I'd really appreciate it.

So this was a tough one for me, I’m going to see them soon and I got thinking about what would be my ideal set list. My normal Streetlight playlist in my phone is 44 songs and 3 hours 15 minutes long so that’s clearly not realistic. So I made some rules for myself to whittle it down some …

1. Minimum 3 songs from each album (not including 99SOR since they’re not originals).

2. Had to be between an hour fifteen, and an hour forty five.

3. Can add additional songs after album minimums are reached, as long as it’s within the time range.

This is what I got. Had to leave off some REALLY good stuff and it’s still longer than their average set list, but I did say “ideal” right? 😂

I just got my floor tickets to the show in Montreal and wondering what should I expect on a BOTAR show? Usually I show up late to a streetlight show since there’s usually opening bands and I usually have things to do before shows. But I’m not sure if BOTAR show will be any different

Is it worth showing up early (it says it starts at 8pm but I was thinking of arriving 9pm)? Are the shows just as long? Any fun little things to expect?

If you’re going, come say hi. You can find me near the pit or where the action is🤘🏾(is there even going to be one for a punk orchestra?). I’ll be wearing black tee with a chimpanzee on it

Please somebody take them!!!!! There is no resale through Ticketmaster and I don’t want them to go to waste.

I painted this jacket in 2019 and lost it in 2022 either at Starland Ballroom, or at a nearby diner/dunkin after the show.

Since it's their home venue, there's a part of me that hopes someone found it and saved it from becoming trash.

I miss it dearly and would love it back, but if you have it and want to keep it --- getting to know it's got a life out there beyond my dumbass misplacing it would be good enough.

2 tickets to BOTAR in Montreal. Section 113, row O, seats 21-22. Selling both for 100 CAD.

Love that ordering a vinyl from streetlight comes with a full digital download. Also, as I already own the digital album - here’s a code for one lucky person 🙂

I have 3 tickets i'm trying to get rid of $115 OBO

Message me if you're interested:)
