andrew dost has never toured with the format or something corporate.

I meant Andrew as in Andrew McMahon... the lead vocalist and pianist for Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin. Because this video is from the Jack's Mannequin tour and I was saying how Nate and and Andrew had toured together in the past.

[LovelyMemories99]

WOW they opened for Jack's mannequin?!?! thats really cool!

[WowHowLame]

They were so good :) It's cool cause Nate and Andrew toured together when they were in The Format and Something Corporate, too.

Are you serious? that's crazy.

When?

[WowHowLame]

They toured in spring of 2004 opening for Yellowcard. I was like 12 then so I wasn't there, but it must've been so great.

@WowHowLame i was at the show in Philly that SoCo headlined and the next night was when Yellowcard recorded the dvd "Beyond Ocean Avenue: Live from the Electric Factory" and that show was absolutely amazing, those two bands are awesome and so was the Format

i hate when people start clapping before the song's over.

[TheIronWaffleMan]

Are you kidding?! Just when I thought fun. couldn't be more awesome, they cover one of my favorite songs ever. This is a win.

@gainesj3

Was Andrew Dost no longer with Anathallo when they toured with the Format? I thought that was when he and Nate initially hooked up...

[LOLaches]

Nate is so awesome.

[clapforalaska]

@gainesj3 actually, andrew dost has toured with the format before, but in a different band. A few years ago, I saw the format (nate reuss,) anathallo (andrew dost,) and steel train (jack antonoff) all play together. i assume that's how they know each other. it was a great show
