#The 1975 somebody else massive series
The band opened for several major acts and released a series of extended plays (Facedown, Sex, Music for Cars, IV) throughout 2012 before releasing their self-titled debut album (2013), which included the popular singles "Sex", "Chocolate", and "Robbers" and reached number one in the United Kingdom. F G Am So I heard you found somebody else F G Am And at first I thought it was a lie F G I took all of my things that make sounds B7 Am The rest I can do without F Am G I don't want your body but I hate to think about you with somebody else F Am G Our love has gone cold, you're intertwining your soul with somebody else F Am G I'm. Gigs, organised by a council worker, led the band to sign with Dirty Hit and Polydor Records. The band's origins trace to their attendance at secondary school and playing together as teenagers. Now based in Manchester, the band consists of lead vocalist, producer, lyricist and rhythm guitarist Matty Healy, lead guitarist Adam Hann, bassist Ross MacDonald, and drummer/producer George Daniel. No Rome also joined The 1975 onstage during their set to perform their collaboration song, “Narcissist."įollow Last.The 1975 are an English pop rock band formed in 2002 at Wilmslow High School. Songs like “Saint Laurent" and “Blue jeans" zeroed in on the teenage experience, from young love to aesthetics, all while showcasing the artist's laidback flow. Manila-born, London-based singer and producer No Rome opened with a set driven by silky beats and ethereal vocals. Throbbing basslines and tinny guitar riffs in cuts like “There's A Honey" and “The Tide" gave the band's sound a retro bubblegum-pop feel, while lead vocalist-guitarist Heather Baron-Gracie's ultra confessional lyrics rounded out the group's youthful spirit. Pale Waves, a fellow Manchester quartet, filled the room with ecstatic energy through a mix of goth-pop and indie. Preceding The 1975 were Pale Waves and No Rome, who each played short but sweet sets. The 1975 brought out fan favorites “Chocolate" and “Sex" for the encore, and ultimately closed with “The Sound"-its infectious pulse prompting the entire auditorium to jump along. Striking a chord on a different level was “I Like America & America Likes Me," which featured a montage of news clips that underscored the track's intense political message. Backup dancers and fiery riffs from guitarist Adam Hann brought to life infectious cuts like “It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)," while bittersweet melodies from bassist-keyboardist Ross MacDonald and steady drumming from George Daniel wound the set down with the more emotional material-"Robbers," “Fallingforyou" and “Somebody Else" really pulling at the heartstrings. The show continued moving through different moods elevated by the band's live arrangements and visuals. His vocals came off fluid and effortless-and on occasion with a tasteful use of autotune, like on “TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME." On top of performing, Healy remained incredibly aware of the packed room, interacting with fans frequently and, at one point, urging everyone to shift backwards and make space for one another. A couple song's later, the jazzy “Sincerity is Scary" had Healy shuffling (a la the track's music video) across a built-in treadmill that lined the front of the stage.
For the frenetic set-opener, “Give Yourself A Try," Healy paraded his high energy all over the floor. There was genuine joy in his performance, which seemed to bounce right back to fans. Frontman Matty Healy's footwork would switch between the likes of Mick Jagger to Michael Jackson, making it all blend into the show's dynamic pace. Over the course of the evening, The 1975's stage presence only got better and better. The stage design was immersive in itself, boxing in the band and crowd, but what drove the performance home was how in tune every member was with each other and the audience. Its recent double stop in San Francisco started out with a hypnotic, sold-out first night.
The Manchester quartet has been on the road for its Music For Cars Tour in support of its latest album, A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships. Even with massive stage lights and elaborate visual displays, The 1975 still has a way of making its concerts an up-close and personal experience for fans.
