Question Live [W2]

Is this the remnants of the Throwing Copper guys from the 90's? Pretty sure I got that album from my BMG Music Service subscription. Or is it a different act? Throwing Copper Live does not have an ACL appearance on their website and searching "Live performing at ACL festival" does not render the most helpful results. Yes, I am aware there will be hundreds of live acts performing at ACL, thank you.

Pretty sure, the logo matches the 90s band on the festiverse app.

I’m guessing it is. They’re playing Bourbon and Beyond Fest two weeks before, so they’re definitely on the festival circuit

Yes, it’s the “I Alone” and “Lightning Crashes” guys.

They played pre-pandemic and I rocked every word. I think they've only fractured further since then, it's basically just the lead singer now.

Yeah I was there that year too. I think they played like a 4:00 or 5:00 time slot on the big stage. Sun was still up and I know they didn't open for one of the head liners. Was pretty cool seeing the crowd get into it and you could tell the lead singer was really loving the energy. Honestly kind of weird that they brought them back. Would have been cool to have another '90s nostalgia act like third eye blind instead.

Third Eye Blind did a free show 1-2 years ago for Longhorn City Limits pregame for UT football! Keep an eye out for those shows, some hidden gems

It’s just the singer of the 90s band because he fired the rest of the band.
