ARCHERS OF LOAF IN CONCERT:
Beloved indie rockers Archers of Loaf thrilled fans in 2011 when they reunited after more than a decade apart, and they continue to wow audiences every time they take the stage at their rare live performances. The talented quartet brims with energy and enthusiasm as they tear through distorted yet tuneful favorites like “Web in Front” and “Freezing Point”, and their rollicking performances always inspire hearty sing-alongs and raucous dancing among fans. Whether they’re playing cuts off their beloved debut album or performing tunes from their most recent full-length White Trash Heroes, Archers of Loaf always treat ticket buyers to a nostalgic concert experience full of upbeat indie rock classics.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Archers of Loaf formed in Chapel Hill, NC in 1991 and released their debut single “Wrong” the following year. The track was well received, earning them a deal with Alias records and paving the way for their follow-up single “Web in Front”, which became a college radio hit. The band’s rise continued in 1993 with full-length debut album Icky Mettle, a critical success that drew them out for extensive touring. Their 1995 sophomore album Vee Vee fared similarly, receiving heavy airplay on college radio and leading to a high-profile tour with Weezer. The band released two more albums – 1996’s All the Nations Airports and 1998’s White Trash Heroes – before calling it quits at the end of 1998. In 2011 Merge Records reissued Archers of Loaf’s four ‘90s albums, leading to a series of acclaimed reunion shows that proved they remained as vital a live act as ever.
They opened with Audiowhore, and closed with Slow Worm. In between they touched off on all their "hits" but for some reason chose to play songs off of White Trash Heroes. The audience didn't care so much for these songs, and were a little more receptive to the songs off of All The Nation's Airports, but for the most part the band's first two album's got the crowd going.
