24TH ANNIVERSARY OF FALL OUT BOY’S FIRST EVER SHOW
The members of Fall Out Boy seem not to want to remember their first show. The band has gone on record a few times, recalling their performance on the night of October 9th, 2001, as embarrassing. Even if the band hadn’t honed their skills or refined their lineup yet, the circumstances around this night make the story all the more interesting.
Since posting about this exactly a year ago, we’ve uncovered key details about the show from people who were there and played, so we wanted to clear up misconceptions. We’ve refined our format over the past year, and felt this subject does much better in video format.
More about the other bands that played that night:
Stillwell - From Chicago, had a classic early-mid 90s emo sound that eventually turned math rocky. Justin runs a record label called Forge Again Records now. They played with bands such as Frontside, Last Ditch Effort, *tomsawyer, and La Mantra de Fhiqria.
Examination of the… - From Sioux Falls, was on this show as part of a tour. As you can see in the video, their drummer was wearing only a cheetah print speedo, for some reason.
Insidious/The Blindfold Parade - From Milwaukee, Insidious changed their name to The Blindfold Parade sometime around this show, and then proceeded to break up in March of ‘02.
