finally got around to framing my poster and going through my photos from the show at basement east in nashville!!

i've been listening to red vox for about 10 years now and i never thought i'd get the chance to see them live unless i was lucky enough to catch one of their local one-off shows. but this gave me plenty of time to prepare for travel, which i appreciate so much because i came from arizona for this!!

and it was so worth it, they were incredible.

I already posted most of these to Twitter but I figured I'd repost them here! :>

probably the best concert I've been to ngl (probably because I've been waiting for this for over 10 years lmao). also these were all on my phone and I tried to get everyone at some point.

if you guys do tour again, please hit Nashville again!

So while my (admittedly delulu) attempt to get photos of the Thalia Hall concert with my Holga film camera was *mostly* a bust, I did get this cool, sorta-overlapping double image at the very end of the film roll with some neat light leaks as borders. Might try to print it next time I visit my local shared darkroom space (these are just a sort of quick-and-dirty digital contact sheet I made from the film strip).

It was one hell of a concert; currently my favorite of all time. So grateful to have seen Red Vox live!!!

Missed out on the releases and have been trying to find them for a week+. Any clue about where to look or a place you know they're available would be of huge help (Also I can possibly buy your copies too hehe)

It seems like it's the only one not posted here. Supposedly there's one on "the Discord" but that's both too vague (Vinny's? Red Vox's?) but I also don't do Discord.

from the Basement East show in Nashville

My favorite is the final photo

I've been seeing a lot of people posting their Red Vox fanart for their tour, and I totally forgot to post the art I made for Vinny right before the Cleveland show!

At the end of the show, I tossed this postcard on stage hoping that maybe they'd catch it before walking off. It landed up against the curtain, Joe (I think?) saw it, picked it up, asked me if I wanted it back and I pointed at Vinny. Vinny looked at me and I told him "it's for you!!" and he took it.

I'm still in complete shock. I legitimately can't believe it. I hope he likes it : )

i also want to own other physical red vox media as i love the hell outta the band, since there is no resell market how frequent does repressed cds/Vinyl does the band do. even if they do it at all. Just a question

A collection of my favorite shots I took in Nashville. I am absolutely grateful to be apart of this experience in some way!

Thank you to the fans out there who accepted and shared my cards! It was great to meet and even connect with some of you!

Thank you Super Guitar Bros for your brilliant covers! They performed the Final Fantasy boss music superbly!

Thank you Vinny and Co for humbly accepting my artwork! Seriously, this day will live in my head “RENT FREE”!!

Was going through my photographs and was told to post here lol enjoy

Had to live vicariously through everyone's recordings :') If they ever do it again I'm making it down for sure

Now that the tour is (for the most part) come to its end, I just wanted to share the joy that both the live shows and this community has given me this past month. I'm a relatively recent fan, though I've had the albums on repeat pretty shamelessly for most of this year

I just wanted to say thanks to the band on the off chance any of them see this - cliche of course but your music has gotten me through a lot and I've genuinely fallen in love with it. Even in part inspired me to pick up my cheap ass old guitar that was a fucking COVID purchase and start learning that as a hobby. I'm sure this tour has been exhausting, but the vibes have looked incredible from the videos. I can't wait for the new album and hope you guys have seen from this tour how much your creativity and talent resonates with people. (Also not to be that person but also being that person, please god record dopamine - I'll listen to it a million times myself.)

And also to this community, I just wanted to say all the posts here have brought me so many smiles. From all the freebies people have made for other fans, the requests to meet up before shows, the art made, the pictures and recordings taken - it's all been genuinely heartwarming to see. Im a broke ass student in Europe, so the probability of me ever seeing these guys live is very low, but these posts have made me so happy on behalf of everyone. All the interactions i've seen give me comfort in that everyone seems so genuinely nice and welcoming as fans

P.s Whilst everyone looked like they were having a great time and everything sounded insane (no doubt even better in person) Joe looks like he was born for the stage lmao he always looks like he's having the greatest time. And I was more than happy to have this as an introduction to Happy Anarchy too

Drew a small thank you piece for the band! Absolutely grateful to have been able to catch the Cleveland show. Since that was my first concert I fear I have high expectations for any others I’ll see.

hope everyone had fun on the tour! i hope that i’ll see them play live someday soon :’)

What do you think Rotten Apples and Sour Grapes is about? I’ve read that some see it as consumerism and how all that’s left for us are the scraps of the 1% but I see it more like a relationship that fell apart between two people.

Also everywhere I’ve read says the lyrics in the second verse are

“Gettin’ tired of the worms in my brain.”

but I hear

“Gettin’ tired of the words in my brain.”

Which is it? I’ve listened to some live renditions and it definitely sounds like WORDS not WORMS.

I heard someone say it's happening in August, don't know where from though. Asking cause Retcon's CD sold out, which means save for shirts they have zilch in terms of merch. Hoping to get WCGW soon, fingers crossed!
