THE FRONT BOTTOMS IN CONCERT:
Quirky pop rockers The Front Bottoms never fail to get audiences singing along to each upbeat melody and heartfelt sentiment in concert. With lyrics that alternate between sincere poetry and tongue-in-cheek humor, frontman Brian Sella always invokes serious feels among ticket buyers. As he strums away at his acoustic guitar, booming drums and melodic basslines add a muscular punch to fan favorites like “Twin Size Mattress”, “Laugh Till I Cry”, and “The Plan”. The group's kaleidoscopic approach also incorporates French horn, accordion, and synthesizers to make sure each song brings a unique sound to the stage. The resulting live experience is an endearing combination of geeky charm, sophisticated arrangements, and first-rate hooks, helping The Front Bottoms win over new fans any time they play on tour, which is maybe why they've brought multiple venues to capacity, like Aztec Theatre.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Lead singer and guitarist Brian Sella started The Front Bottoms in 2007 with his childhood friend, drummer Mathew Uychich. They quickly expanded to a full a lineup with Uychich’s brother Brian joining on keyboards for their 2008 debut I Hate My Friends. They established a dedicated following in their native Woodcliffe, NJ before expanding their fanbase with a DIY national tour. In 2010 the group generated serious online buzz with the release of a self-titled album and a viral music video for the song “Maps”, which expanded their following even further and led to bigger shows. Their growing legion of fans showed their support by helping the group crack the Billboard 200 with their next album, 2013’s Talon of the Hawk. The Front Bottoms continue to thrill fans of indie rock with exuberant performances and fun-loving albums like 2015’s stellar Back on Top.
Been to two different shows in Seattle area- once for the release of Theresa, then for You Are Who You Hang Out With. It’s pretty much ruined other concerts for me- the music at a TFB concert will always be better, the venues are better, the crowd is better. At the Theresa concert, they started chucking hotdogs into the crowd. Unforgettable and always gives the adrenaline rush you want.
Baller and epic and awesome. 15/10 would do again.
i honestly went to this concert with minimal knowledge about TFB.. but that is no longer the case. this concert was one of the best i’ve ever been to. Would pay an absurd amount to do it all over again.
The live experience just signified they have hits but the live experience left something to be desired.
Spent the entire night in a 10/10 mosh, great night, great time, absolutely would do again
What a great show! The energy and passion the Front Bottoms displayed while performing kept the crowd entertained. There wasn't one person in the entire building that wasn’t singing!
I yelled my heart out to the songs and swayed to the music to both the warm up band, slothrust, and the front bottoms. This is best concert I went to by far. I can't wait until they come back to nc.
Brought my wife to their show for her birthday. I Honestly cant stand their music but my wife loves them so i was willing to tolerate it for the evening. Can honestly say i was blown away by their performance and showmanship. I had a blast and was happy i went. If you like rock music and a good performance, highly recommend you check out a TFB show. They wont disappoint.
exceeded my expectations!!! they were amazing and so interactive with the crowd. brian's voice is even more beautiful live!!! so glad i experienced this show.
I've seen The Front Bottoms more times than I can count but this concert was my oldest daughter's 1st time seeing them and she was so happy. The venue was managed perfectly and the performance was electrifying as always. Matty and Brian are amazing and not only do they put on one heck of show (EVERY DANG TIME) they always pick amazing artists to open up for them. We enjoyed the show so, so much and I can't wait for them to come back.
