Bold Prediction: The band will play want they want to play and I will enjoy every second of it. (Please, don't make a liar out of me, Angel)

    Maybe this question doesn't belong here, but does it make sense for them to be in the venue/town 3 nights before show? I love the woodlands, but...really??

    Of course, this is the first time they're kicking off a tour there, so maybe that has something to do with it. It's just odd they do the soundcheck 3 nights before rather three hours before showtime.

    Thats how I feel man, they have to be excited to play some new tunes and to get some feedback on what they've been hard at work on. Also, they will play Mercy full band for sure.

    They were actually there on Monday, guess to work out any bugs with the rig.

    Here's a BOLD ASS PREDICTION

    Band plays roughly ten new songs. In fact they road test these songs. We think they're on the new album, but WAIT, YOU GUYS, those songs are for THE NEXT ALBUM. In the fall they release the album that's done now, with out playing any of its songs except the single. THEN the next album comes out the next SPRING.

    MB20 just announced their new album which is being released September 4th with a single being released in a couple of weeks. Just an another example to look at potential timeframes.

    Why don't you go find that person and ask that person? It's not hard to take a look around the forum.

    This was the post in the Texas thread:

    Got ya. I just thought the crew was in TX, and the band was rehearsing in SC.

    Good to hear, hope to catch a couple at the Hangout this Sunday!

    The Warehouse will send a tour reminder about 5 PM today and try to sell some merchandise, then at the bottom in tiny print will read "2012 album scratched"

    I don't see why this tour would be any different from 09 when they dropped 3 new tunes opening night at MSG. Granted, they did release the single, but that doesn't explain the other 2 songs.

    My prediction. 1-3 new album songs, Mercy included. And 1 or possibly 2 other new tunes that didnt make the album or will be bonus songs, just like Beach Ball and Little Red Bird. The rest of the songs will be kept secret until the album drops, just to drive sales.

    I have no interest in joining twitter, but someone should tweet Stefan and ask him to post a clip of the band rehearsing, just to get everyone even more excited.

    Thats what Im thinking, and I dont think they will play their "best" new song yet either. Even though its probably different for each band member. Im just saying I think they will save the best for when the record comes out.

    Does anyone think Dave will plug the album at all at shows? I mean with the whole quiet secretive thing I don't know if he will or not.

    I thought that too, but then I thought maybe they have songs they want us to think are on the album, but aren't I don't know how much sense I just made haha. I also was wondering if he'd flat out say something like this song is off the new album we've been working on coming in the fall.

    Tomorrow evening should be very interesting. If they play more new songs than just Mercy, we will have our first true taste of what is in store. In other words, we will actually get an actual "progress update." We will have instant reactions from people attending tomorrow night. Despite the near total lack of information, the conversation should pick up tomorrow night as we get 2-3 new songs to discuss into the ground, dissecting every note, strum and snare hit. I'm sure we'll get comments ranging from "This band is fucked!" to "This band is back/resurrected!"

    Does anybody remember how much we knew about tLWS/Summer So Far before Summer 2000? Did we know what any of the new songs were prior to the start of the tour. I wasn't paying as close attention back then and don't quite remember.

    Yeah I am just really interested in seeing what this set is like... could be completely predictable with ddtw, die trying, cornbread, squirm, watchtower, 2-3 new songs including mercy but im hoping they're able to surprise us like in Hartford two years ago. How Dave brings up new songs, the new album in general to the crowd is also very intriguing.

    Didn't really think about the chance of them playing new songs that didn't make the album the way they did with beachball. I just really want some new music this weekend. Hopefully we will get ay least one of them during the stream on Sunday too.

    I could be wrong but I thought that during the LWS recording sessions someone posted blog like entries that mentioned the songs they were working on. I could be completely wrong about that. I'm thinking back to nancies.org times...
