About

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.

    It was good. Opening band was kind of an ill fit for the other two. Venue itself was fine but was seemingly over capacity. I'd prefer to see shows where I'm not literally sandwhiched between people the entire time. Just a tiny bit of room would have been nice, and probably safer. But the music itself was very good, Highly recommend TFB (the reason I attended) but also The Smith Street Band, hailing from Australia, gave a wonderful performance, nothing against Elvis Depressedly as musicians, their sound was just too laid back to match the other two bands and made for a lack of energy in the crowd to start off the show.

    The Front Bottoms were mindblowing

    by ren3gades on 10/20/15Upstate Concert Hall - Clifton Park

    The Front Bottoms have always been my favorite band of this particular genre but after this performance, I fell in love with them even more. The type of atmosphere the venue gave and the energy that the group let off was more than I could have ever imagined. I'm so glad I got the opportunity to see them, I hope that one day they plan to return because I would buy my ticket in a heartbeat. I recommend this band and this venue to anyone and everyone.

    The Front Bottoms do not disappoint

    by RybkaM on 6/25/15Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn

    With the front bottoms you manage to get lost in the music and the crowd and have an unforgettable time. They sounds amazing, do crowd favorite songs and let's not forget the bubbles and balloons among other props

    Awesome live

    by Charisse5555 on 2/16/15Webster Hall - New York

    I saw The Front Bottoms at Champagne Jam in December and they were amazing. They really connect with the audience. Since they're not that big every person in the crowd is a die hard fan and makes the experience way more memorable. Brian's family was also at the concert and he interacted with them and it was very genuine. Overall, it was an amazing concert and the best I've ever been to.

    Absolutely stellar

    by woopsadaisy on 6/27/14Electric Factory - Philadelphia

    The Front Bottoms give off great and happy energy. The crowd went wild during each of their awesome performances. They brought their inflatable props which added a nice touch. Brian Sella was smiling the whole entire time. Hands down one of my favorite bands to see live so far. I hope to see them perform every time the opportunity arises because they were just that amazing. Thanks guys for the memorable moment! :D

    Insanely Fun

    by YABISH on 9/2/13The Stone Pony - Asbury Park

    Seeing the Front Bottoms live is essentially going to one giant party where everyone shares a taste in music with you and knows all the words to every song. The pits are fun and "dancey" but even the hardcore kids can get down. Definitely recommend seeing this band live while you can still catch them at a small venue. I predict the Front Bottoms are gonna get big fast!

    Front Bottoms blow out the end of the summer!!

    by ofallthingsali on 9/2/13The Stone Pony - Asbury Park

    As an avid concert goer, i have to say this was the best show I've gone to all summer. The crowd was a huge dance party once the front bottoms went on stage. The front bottoms played many hits from they're recently released "Talon Of The Hawk" and many old favorites as well for their a hour and half set. The music kept the crowd pumped and dancing all night long. When it was time for an encore, instead of having the crowd chant begging for more the front bottoms played the cha cha slide as way to wrap up both the show and the summer. I highly recommend seeing the front bottoms the next time they're in your area.

    Best concert I've been to in a long time, the music to begin with was incredible, and then the crowd surfing and stage diving and the energy of the audience was awesome. Made for a great time.

    The Front Bottoms were wicked awesome.

    by yayaMary on 7/16/13The Sinclair - Cambridge

    This show was great! I absolutely love the Front Bottoms, this was my first time seeing them live. Also my first time at the Sinclair. The staff at the venue was great, and the place wasn't terribly congested at any point during the night. The band was excellent. They sounded GREAT, better than the album sound. Bryan is also pretty funny with his commentary and stories. The whole group seemed really chill, even with people jumping up on stage and running around behind them etc. (The Sinclair doesn't have a barrier.) Hands down a fantastic night.

    Jackpot!

    by Eatmoremattmeal on 6/25/13Jackpot Music Hall - Lawrence

    This was a small venue but it provided a great atmosphere. The opener, A Great Big Pile Of Leaves was great and The Front Bottoms brought the house down! It was amazing.
