« the casting out needs artwork | Main | confirmed dates for euro tour... »

March 10, 2007

news....

So to recap.
Boysetsfire was a band for over 12 years. We played basements, clubs, and sometimes huge fields with tents in them. We recorded four full-length records, some eps, and one official self-released seven inch.
We accomplished way more than we ever deserved. US tours, European tours, Australia. A band from Delaware playing in Australia? Come on. Don’t be silly.
So the time for parting come to an end. We had decided with heads held high to proudly kill what what we had created and to let it die with dignity, aplomb, and in good memory. Most specifically, it was a retirement party. Not a sad forced retirement but a happy one filled with nostalgia and contentment as we sit back and watch younger upstarts with mascara smeared countenances carry the torch we had lit over a decade ago.
Would have worked out fine.
But then I fell. It hurt a lot. Still does.
I missed the last tour so I think we all feel that the final chapter wasn’t quite pencilled in.
So the rumors are true.
We are doing one last tour in Europe to say a proper good-bye to all our friends in that great continent.
Shows are being confirmed as we speak.
The tour runs from May 11- May 19.
We also need a practice area for a couple days prior to the tour if anyone can help us out.
Thanks.
Kisses.
bsf
we are still working on a final philly show, prolly in may. let you know!

and please guys, change/adapt your set-list a bit from the last tour, saw you 4 times back then, so a little variation would be great! :-)

Posted by: sean at March 11, 2007 10:12 AM

Why at the T-Mobile Playgrounds? :(
Club-Shows are much better. And you are playing with Good Charlotte! Awful! :(

Posted by: timistcool at March 11, 2007 10:31 AM

yeeeeeeeeeehhaaaaaaaaaaa chk chk chk !!!

Posted by: Michael at March 11, 2007 11:26 AM

Hopefully you're coming to Hamburg, that would be so awesome!

And thanks for touring Europe one last time!

Posted by: Lord L. at March 11, 2007 11:49 AM

that's more than all european fans could have hoped for. :)
i still hope for a final show in vienna. (i think an open air show in the arena would be a worthy way to say goodbye but i guess that's somewhat unrealistic).

Posted by: pezcore at March 11, 2007 01:14 PM

first: you'll be kept in "good memory"! forever!
second: i'm really looking forward to see you guys (in germany) although i don't get why you are doing that...

Posted by: Isa at March 11, 2007 01:38 PM

@Isa:
josh couldn't do the tour in summer 2006 because of his work accident, but in may he'll get the chance to say goodbye to the european BSF fans, too...

Posted by: SparkInTheNight at March 11, 2007 01:56 PM

please come to roberts homebase munich, :)
so great to see you all one last time over here, and especially to say good-bye to josh :)

Posted by: maggi at March 11, 2007 03:06 PM

Posted by: Olli at March 12, 2007 06:06 PM

That shit in Philly better be some cool club show and not some gig opening for some lame-ass band who care more about scoring chicks than playing. I wanna see a caption in some newspaper saying "(insert club) Burns To Ground After boysetsfire"..

Just saying...

Posted by: Misericorde at March 12, 2007 09:16 PM

Great News Guys, sounds f*****n awesome, sae you guys the last few dates, but no disrespect to chris, it just wasnt the same without you josh.......
Im so glad ur better and coming back to europe, are you guys gonna play the garage in london or maybe push for a lil bigger, Astoria would be amazing, I could help promote the hell out of the gig......
And im sure if its the last UK date the crowds will come flocking. I live in UK, nr cambridgeshire and know large places for bands too practice.....

If there is anything i can do to help, please dont hesitate to contact me......
www.myspace.com/pergandes
www.myspace.com/trailingable (band site)
If you fancy hookin my band up a support slot it would make my dreams come true.. ;-)

Cheers Guys, Good Luck, and if you need funds to add more dates or van hire, just start a link like you did for josh's family.

Posted by: Anika at March 13, 2007 08:21 PM

desperatly awaiting philly
is it gonna be the trocadero?
ps you deserved everything you had. just because you are from delaware doesnt mean you can't be the worlds bestest/most amazingest band.
love.
pps good luck with the casting out

Posted by: Henry at March 13, 2007 10:02 PM

I don't usually leave comments like this, but since the rumors ARE true I thought I'd throw it out there. I've yet to see you guys live and I do know that you have a big following in the Midwest. I live in Illinois outside of Springfeild. I say for that practice maybe come out the the "corn belt" for a day and play a show from the Warehouse. Alot of bands play there. Crossfade and Dragonforce just had a large show there. Think about it. I'd like it.

Posted by: Tim Villa at March 13, 2007 10:06 PM

guess what nathan? the best thing would be if you'd come directly to Slovenia hahahahaha ;))))

Yeah because nathan's totally not trying to score ;) hehe.

Seriously though, way to go out guys. Playing in Europe and all... where your roots are from, and where the people that got you to where you got to go come from. Oh wait..

Well whatever, have fun.

Posted by: Alittlebitter at March 14, 2007 05:21 AM

just wanted to update my earlier message,

its www.myspace.com/trailingcable

not trailingable (oops)

would be good to hear from one of you, then i could try sort some stuff out for you....

i might have to follow the whole tour and backpack through europe.....

you should def play the junction in cambridge, uk.... i could hook it up, loads of bands play there, there is a reasonable scene and i could spend 6 weeks flyering it... ;-)

Posted by: Jimslifeintheknife at March 14, 2007 05:22 AM

we want to see a last bsf headliner tour and not a skate event with bsf supporting (with a short setlist) GC and a lot of jumping fashion kids (not knowing who you are).
play some last real, "sweaty" shows with your fans in nice venues across europe...as you always did !Don´t let this end in a huge skate contest.

Very well written Josh, and I am looking forward to seeing you guys in Philly. Its going to be hard saying goodbye to one of the greatest influential bands ever!!!

You guys will be missed.

Posted by: Tim at March 14, 2007 05:23 PM

I am so happy..I already got the tix for herten with good charlotte :( but i heard there will be a third band...we*LL see...i could almost go for a walk to the gig,....awesome guys...is josh going to come with you ?

Posted by: Dave at March 14, 2007 06:50 PM

SAARBRÜCKEN!!!!! ^^

but i guess you play one concert in germany of course...hopefully not too far away from me....

Posted by: cadwargwen at March 15, 2007 05:58 AM

come back to the "conne island" (leipzig)...

can´t wait to see you again and again and...

greetings

Posted by: schurize at March 15, 2007 08:26 AM

Hey guys,

thanks in advance for coming "home" to Cologne/Germany...

I also think that playing this T-Mobile show in Herten ain't such a good idea... I remember one of your last shows in September 2006 in Herne on the occasion of a similar event, and it was so sad to see you as the support of Pennywise (with due respect to this band).

So please try to play some more headliner shows at real sweaty clubs, your fans just want to enjoy BSF, they don't come to see fashion kids and stupid fringe events!

Hope to see you in May!

Greets from Cologne,

Maik

Posted by: Maik at March 15, 2007 08:39 AM

Please come to Cologne again! The best city for a gig in Germany. You´ve told it on your DVD ;-) Or what about Saarbrücken? Munich would also be nice...
Please put out the dates and places soon...
Love

Posted by: katja at March 15, 2007 11:04 AM

I'd love to see you in Austria, I still regret I didn't make it to Wiesen last year..

Greetings,
Roman

Posted by: Roman at March 15, 2007 12:17 PM

Oh, please come to Belgium!!
And if you need a repetition area you may even use my bedroom while I sleep in it.
Hope to see you guys soon. I can't wait...

Posted by: Didi at March 15, 2007 12:44 PM

i knew you'd miss your german fans as well as they miss you :P
glad you'll come back. see you in herten!

Posted by: chosenone at March 15, 2007 04:58 PM

So here is my recap..you guys are no doubt my favorite band ever. All the talk about revolution and change and now you quit...maybe we dont want you to paas the torch to the bitch ass mascara wearing fags...there are few bands that can put down tracks of the quality that you do , and you just throw it away. No offense to any of you, because I have seen you guys play at least 15 times over the years, but it pisses me off watching the commentary on the DVD about how great the album is and how much you love doing what you do and being best friends, when it is all bullshit. While i am venting, I think is kinda crappy that you guys are doing a bunch of shows in europe and only 1 here. Dont you think all of the people who have supported you in the US over all of the years might take offense to that? Just because we have a moron running the country doesnt mean that we all are. I am sick of all this crap music that has infiltrated the music scene, and hope that what I am saying will inspire you all to battle on....you guys are the best!! Hope that this didnt sound too mean

Posted by: poopbutt at March 15, 2007 09:26 PM

That dude above me (poopbutt) needs to get a life...

Posted by: poopbutt's dad at March 15, 2007 10:25 PM

You've been to Australia once, so I think that deserves a fairwell tour too.....I'd be happy to organise it for you!! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO :)

Goodluck with the future!

Posted by: Ian at March 16, 2007 03:17 AM

Great news! You have to come to The Netherlands!
Lots of people missed the last show so it'd be a good opportunity to see you guys one last time.

Posted by: Est at March 16, 2007 05:21 AM

Tour dates confirmed:
http://www.destiny-tourbooking.com/baze/index.php?id=79

....and Belgium ????

Posted by: Stijn at March 16, 2007 07:42 AM

not a belguim show, this is very bad, i thougt you like belguim,we always did our best to give you nice places, and pits, i know the last show, was not that good, not like the shows before.
didn't belguim bookers had intrest in you or what, i will book you, no joke ;)
is there al change that you play some more shows?????

Posted by: david arickx at March 16, 2007 07:52 AM

...and so many german shows...?! Germany is not that BIG you know ! Sad.

Posted by: Stijn at March 16, 2007 07:56 AM

But in germany they got the most fans I guess...
And last time in belgium there was just a lame crowd. And by LAME I mean REALLY LAME.

Hell yeah. I'll be on the first 4 shows.
Undecided about the gig in Saarbrücken, because Itchy Poopzkid play there the same day in the smaller garage... damnit!
You guys should definitely play TOGETHER!!!!

Posted by: Tanja at March 16, 2007 08:18 AM

thx thx thx for the shows in germany!
but it's also sad that there are no belgium or italy shows though... i know there are also a lot of BSF fans...
well maybe: belgium fans to saarbrücken and italy fans to vienna?!

Posted by: SparkInTheNight at March 16, 2007 08:38 AM

a german girl said that we are lame, what the fuck, ok the last show in belguim was not the best, is was rocking in front, with a few people, but give us an new change.
remeber, pukkelpop festival there was dust like hell, we couldn't breath between the numbers, and that is not a lie, after the show we were black as ....., an the erect show, the groezrock show, a crowd like hell (ok there were germans too), and the lintfabriek show, sold out, 200 people, is was full, really full, and it was the best show ever for me, all the people were crazy, shit it's strange that we never gonna have a moment like this anymore, and it's not easy to hear that belguim is not special for boysetsfire.
that last 2 belguim shows were not the best, in hasselt the last cd was just out, and people didn't know the songs yet, and the last show was bad cause you were bad ;)), yes you can, josh gitar, and his screams were not there and the result was not like before, so we were lame is guess.
couldn't you give us another change, please, we would rock more than the ugly german people hehehe, ok sometimes german girls are quite nice ;)
think about it, i hope every belguim reader will put a message on this board.

Posted by: david arickx at March 16, 2007 12:52 PM

Hey is this a contest who's better? ;) I guess not.
And yes I said it because I have been to that show. The crowd was just standing around...
Nothing against people from belgium... I know that they can rock! :-)
No offense!

Posted by: Tanja again at March 16, 2007 01:14 PM

i know tanja, but the holland show was also lame, not?, and there place was mutch better than te belguim place, we were standing ehhh "very close".
it's a long drive to germany, and germany is bad food, and the beer is not like belguim finest ;)
but i come. ;)

Posted by: david arickx at March 16, 2007 02:22 PM

Awesome for goodbye tour but dudes, you need to come to houston texas 1 time before you officially say its done. Holla

Posted by: Travis P at March 16, 2007 03:11 PM

David, I think that we should go for the Melkweg. This will be the shortest distance to see BSF. I also went to see BSF in Utrecht and I was surprised in a positive way by the mentality of the dutch people!

Posted by: Stijn at March 16, 2007 03:22 PM

ja de show in utrecht was kwa volk zeker niet slecht, ook al bakte bsf er niet veel van.
Wel een zeer leuke zaal.
Ik ga naar amsterdam, en duitsland, 1 of 3 dagen, als je naar amsterdam rijd, en er is nog plaats vrij in de auto ;)

je ziet maar.
blij dat ik neit de enige belg ben hier.

Posted by: david arickx at March 17, 2007 04:35 PM

I'm so sorry that I won't be in Holland to go to the last BSF show! I'm in the States when you'll play in Holland (where I'm from)!
So Josh, I'm glad your back on your feet!
I enjoyed everyone of the many many shows I've seen! And I'm sad to know I'll never see you play again! :-(
But I hope you have a GREAT time in Europe! And I'll be there in spirit, saying goodbye to y'all!
Lpve, Jen

Posted by: Jennifer at March 21, 2007 01:17 PM

Man, I feel like my dog just died.

No more bsf...Philly is going to be a good time! And I might cry. I only got to see you once at starland ballroom in Jersey. Fuck Fat Pat and his douche bag followers, I so had your back at that show. I love you guys and I thank you for being a whole big bunch of kick-ass and helping me through shitty times. You all deserve everything and more. Be well.

Posted by: Laura at March 22, 2007 11:26 AM

damn i hope i can go to the philly show!
but if my luck continues i'll ethier be:
1) grounded
2) at my dads (who NEVER lets me go anywhere on his weekends)
3)misinformed about the date/time/place
or
4)assassinated (just kidding)

but still i hope like hell to make it cause i've never seen BSF in concert before and it sounds like alot of fun.

well i guess thats all i have to say (for now)
and i'll be sure to drag as many people as i possibly can even with me to the show even if they dont want to go.

Posted by: Anthony at April 4, 2007 01:09 PM

fuck, i cried. i just found out. still reeling, better believe it. endings are always a bitch. but oh well, thanks for the brilliant music and for me keeping me sane all those times i wanted to crawl out of my own skin. you guys rock, never forget it. good luck with everything.
