I went to the concert. There was amazing music, and singing and dancing were thoroughly enjoyed.
The band is full of gay and bisexual guys, and they talk about queer topics and acceptance throughout their songs. But I was blown away by something they did.
As we entered the show, they handed out white, pink, and blue pieces of paper (I got a pink one, see attached). During one of their slower songs, which is basically about acceptance and people being cool as they are rather than trying to fit in with society, they told everyone to hold up the paper in front of our camera flashes. So we made a giant blue/pink/white montage throughout the audience.
It was overwhelmingly moving. There are good folks out there, and they played to a sold-out audience, so we weren't alone tonight.
ME: Ooh, #SubRadio East coast tour dates!
ME: ...
ALSO ME: I'm sorry, cute and queer and boppy you may be, but that is not enough to get me to take the train to the city and then the subway to Somerville, in the middle of the night, in February.
I can’t make these concerts but it is extremely important that #Albany and #Selbyville Mastonauts who enjoy amazing and queer-positive pop-rock get to these shows please. My favourite two bands and attending is not in the cards for me. Emojis go here.
Musical Interlude: Local-to-me band Sub-Radio (from Northern Virginia) is a legit band, but they are also becoming noted for their impish sense of humor and Weird-Al-worthy song parodies that they started recording during COVID. Here's one of my favorites, for those evenings when you just don't feel like going out...
"Don't Wanna Dance with Nobody," performed by Sub-Radio.
