[evillechica]

Yeah, these guys are fucking awesome. When I saw them live, people were standing around like they didn't know what was going on. HOW can you possibly stand still at a NP show?????

[MissRetroP]

[evillechica]

@MissRetroP Soren is probably around 5 8 or so. :)

[1danny1995]

@evillechica Rly? the concert I went to was packed cuz I guess you could say they were more of an opening act but they totally got the crowd going everyone started jumping and were going nuts it was awesome. We wanted them to play another song but they werent allowed to.

[hardshot45]

That crowd cant get any gayer

[ggnub100]

Love this new band.. so passionate and real into world affairs... good music... promotes world peace... sick lead dancer/singer what more can you ask more?? insta-FAN!

[fr5o7]

Anyone know how they are getting bass? are they just playing over the bass track?

[MrAdronScott]

@fr5o7 probably a background bass player. some guy sitting in a chair off stage doing bass.

[madrockradio]

@MrAdronScott @fr5o7 actually they don't have a bass player. They use synths or bass tracks from the studio depending on the song.

[MrAdronScott]

@madrockradio notice the 'probably' part...

even so, using a pre recorded bass line kinda takes the 'live' outta 'live performance'.... they should just use a ghost bassist instead.

[madrockradio]

@MrAdronScott I did see the probably part. I was just pointing out that there isn't one.

Well a ghost bassist couldn't play the synths anyway... I hear they might get a bassist down the road when they're more famous, which I'm kinda against. They never had one, before their first show in Denmark they decided not to have one and they're good like this. Of course I'll be perfectly happy with whoever they pick up, but it'll be a new era of New Politics imo.

[MrAdronScott]

@madrockradio

eh, i see where you're coming from. they seem to be doing fine without a bassist. if they got one in the future, its only cuz they wanted one, not cuz they needed one. although it would never hurt.

[30secondstolive]

@MrAdronScott it's just a track... the drummer plays it

[deirdre12288]

i be crowdsurfing that shit

[PurplePaperTowel]

Amazing how everyone that comments that this band is awesome, yet everyone stands still at their shows like theyre fucking nuts

[rabidchipmonk1]

the song is we are the radio .BUT new politics are my fave band!!!

[IamTattooGirl]

What a lame crowd! Good God, I've been to loads of shows at the Middle East, and this is awful. These guys deserve better than this. Hell, we gave them a great response in Oklahoma City, and I intend to do the same for them in Nashville! I guess the Middle East got lame in the 12 years I've been gone.

[BluSarahNamaste]

@IamTattooGirl it's a small crowd. :-(

[raverella]

They are so much fun! They Gained a Fan In Oregon! :D

[BluSarahNamaste]

I am so bleeping bummed that I missed you guys in Boston!!! I hadn't heard of you yet, darn it. Please come back. I'll cook you a homemade dinner (I'm an excellent cook btw). <3

[LittleSlaveKitten]
