Ive seen hundreds of bands and the Bosstones were always one of the best. Fresh set lists, fun live shows, great to their fans. This one is real sad to me.

I haven't heard any new music from them in a very long time, but I will say that the one time I saw them live was extremely memorable and probably one of the best non-festival shows I've seen

Can't say I speak from experience, but based on fan reaction that's definitely the impression that I get.

yeah I imagine theyll play riot fest in a few years

anyway I have no real attachment to their music, but I caught their whole set at Riot Fest 2021 and it was extremely fun. Tight band, and everyone having a great time. A skanking pit opened up in front of us that was just a joy to watch

Ive only bothered with a couple listens to their last two or three album but yeah just as a live band they were absolutely top notch.

At the show I went to, they had people in the crowd form a human pyramid to rip the disco ball off the ceiling, lol

Reading about this on Reddit it seems there must have been something more going on behind the scenes

-they had upcoming shows
-the singer was the announcer for Jimmy Kimmel until a couple weeks ago when he retired to Arizona
-the singers wife is an anti-vax loon (unclear on if singer is)

seems unusual for them to unceremoniously break up via a short Facebook post idk

Yeah looking into this more Im sure the timing is not coincidental. Looks like lead singer Dicky Barrett just produced a promo video for the anti-vax rally that just happened in Washington

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/graham-nash-rfk-jr-song-anti-vax-rally-video-1289244/

he also abruptly left Kimmel after many years there a couple weeks ago

my guess is this caused a rift in the band
