The Front Bottoms

The Front Bottoms

Quirky pop rockers The Front Bottoms never fail to get audiences singing along to each upbeat melody and heartfelt sentiment in concert. With lyrics that alternate between sincere poetry and tongue-in-cheek humor, frontman Brian Sella always invokes serious feels among ticket buyers. As he strums away at his acoustic guitar, booming drums and melodic basslines add a muscular punch to fan favorites like “Twin Size Mattress”, “Laugh Till I Cry”, and “The Plan”. The group's kaleidoscopic approach also incorporates French horn, accordion, and synthesizers to make sure each song brings a unique sound to the stage.

I have been following the Front bottoms since they were a college band, and it's amazing to see them grow as a band and as performers. I have always thought they put on a good $20 show, and gave a great bang for your buck, but this last show at the San Diego House of Blues was absolutely amazing. I don't say this because I am a fan...but because their growth as performers is obvious and they truly give everything they have to their fans. They are staying true to their fan base with their new songs, and they interweave their old hits with their new songs like pros. The band is appreciative to those who bought tickets and interact throughout the show, taking song suggestions and talking to fans as they go from song to song. The energy of the show is incredible, and the crowd didn't stand still for a second...so expect to hop around and get sweaty if you are in the crowd. I can't give enough kudos to the FBs...they have kept their shows affordable, put on an amazing performance and continue to give their fans that Front Bottoms sound while still evolving . Catch this tour!!! You'll love it!!!

The Front Bottoms are the best. They added a song to their set because we were chanting it and they were so cool about it. Also Brian wore someone s wings and hat since it was almost Halloween. And their opening band Bad Bad Hats was SO good

The venue was awesome, the bands were so good live, my only problem was with the amount of aggressive drunks in the crowd. Before TFB even started there was a guy who was so drunk he almost knocked down one of my friends from stumbling around so much. At one point I was kissed by a random stranger in the crowd, and when taking my jacket off between sets some creepy guy told me to take it off more sexier and that I should ve put on a show. Both were obviously drunk, and while nothing could ve been done about these problems it was incredibly disappointing considering I usually feel my happiest and safest at shows, have never had a problem with feeling unsafe at a show, and Saturday night I didn t feel comfortable being there whatsoever.

AMAZING!!! never been to a concert like the front bottoms before honestly, and it was one of the best experiences i've had! I went with a lot of friends and we knew every song. the people were great company and security kept everything from getting too out of hand ... the guys were awesome and really had fun with the crowd and all that, plus the openers were really rad and i might have cried at some point. 10/10 would relive this concert

The Front Bottoms have been one of my favorite bands for a while now, but they rarely seem to come to South Florida when they're on tour. This time around I got lucky and found that they were finally coming to a venue near me. Seeing them live only increased my existing love for them. Genuinely great band.

Great crowd, front bottoms played a terrific setlist (the fued, funny you should ask, be nice to me), Smith Street Band shredded. Elvis Depressdley stunk but that was the only downside.

It was good. Opening band was kind of an ill fit for the other two. Venue itself was fine but was seemingly over capacity. I'd prefer to see shows where I'm not literally sandwhiched between people the entire time. Just a tiny bit of room would have been nice, and probably safer. But the music itself was very good, Highly recommend TFB (the reason I attended) but also The Smith Street Band, hailing from Australia, gave a wonderful performance, nothing against Elvis Depressedly as musicians, their sound was just too laid back to match the other two bands and made for a lack of energy in the crowd to start off the show.

The Front Bottoms have always been my favorite band of this particular genre but after this performance, I fell in love with them even more. The type of atmosphere the venue gave and the energy that the group let off was more than I could have ever imagined. I'm so glad I got the opportunity to see them, I hope that one day they plan to return because I would buy my ticket in a heartbeat. I recommend this band and this venue to anyone and everyone.

With the front bottoms you manage to get lost in the music and the crowd and have an unforgettable time. They sounds amazing, do crowd favorite songs and let's not forget the bubbles and balloons among other props

I saw The Front Bottoms at Champagne Jam in December and they were amazing. They really connect with the audience. Since they're not that big every person in the crowd is a die hard fan and makes the experience way more memorable. Brian's family was also at the concert and he interacted with them and it was very genuine. Overall, it was an amazing concert and the best I've ever been to.

The Front Bottoms give off great and happy energy. The crowd went wild during each of their awesome performances. They brought their inflatable props which added a nice touch. Brian Sella was smiling the whole entire time. Hands down one of my favorite bands to see live so far. I hope to see them perform every time the opportunity arises because they were just that amazing. Thanks guys for the memorable moment! :D

Seeing the Front Bottoms live is essentially going to one giant party where everyone shares a taste in music with you and knows all the words to every song. The pits are fun and "dancey" but even the hardcore kids can get down. Definitely recommend seeing this band live while you can still catch them at a small venue. I predict the Front Bottoms are gonna get big fast!

As an avid concert goer, i have to say this was the best show I've gone to all summer. The crowd was a huge dance party once the front bottoms went on stage. The front bottoms played many hits from they're recently released "Talon Of The Hawk" and many old favorites as well for their a hour and half set. The music kept the crowd pumped and dancing all night long. When it was time for an encore, instead of having the crowd chant begging for more the front bottoms played the cha cha slide as way to wrap up both the show and the summer. I highly recommend seeing the front bottoms the next time they're in your area.

This show was great! I absolutely love the Front Bottoms, this was my first time seeing them live. Also my first time at the Sinclair. The staff at the venue was great, and the place wasn't terribly congested at any point during the night. The band was excellent. They sounded GREAT, better than the album sound. Bryan is also pretty funny with his commentary and stories. The whole group seemed really chill, even with people jumping up on stage and running around behind them etc. (The Sinclair doesn't have a barrier.) Hands down a fantastic night.

I ve been to many smaller venues for concerts and this hands down was one of the better ones. I enjoyed the parking garage across the street with event prices (great plus not having to walk aimlessly at night). The venue itself was very nice and I enjoyed that staff/security walked around asking for trash so that you didn t have to worry about stepping on it or getting out of the crowd. Very great experience and very helpful staff!

I bought these tickets for my daughter. The front bottoms are her favorite band. She stood in the freezing garden cold for over an hour. Than stood inside, got front row view, and didn't move from 4 till 11. She wanted to be that close to Brian Sella. On the way home she said it was the best night of her life. I even enjoyed the concert as well. The other bands were great as well. Would definitely go again. Look on her face priceless.

The Front Bottoms have been one of my all-time favorites since I first heard Maps in 2013. They manage to be electric, upbeat and energetic while remaining authentic and genuine. They are one of those bands that you can sing along to on your best days and worst days. They played a full setlist including songs from each of their albums and came back out for an encore (which was particularly impressive after they each killed a bottle of champaign ((not convinced that Mat finished his))). Brian is a terrific front man and keeps the audience engaged and singing along the entire time. He takes just enough time between songs to share some insights and make you feel like your hanging with an old Pal. Also shoutout to The Districts who put on a great set as well. The venue was awesome and I hope The Front Bottoms and Champagne Jam make a return in 2018. Have fun in Europe, Boys!

They ve been one of my top bands for a while now, especially being from jersey. It was probably the best live show I ve been to in years. Only way to improve would be a full bar in venue and not so expensive for drinks. Otherwise no complaints. I hope the champagne jam returns for years to come!

I can easily say that this was the best concert I have been to so far in my life. The Front Bottoms did not disappoint in song selection at all. They had a great selection of new and older songs, pleasing everyone in the crowd. It was high energy from the first song to the last, and I had so much fun. Not to mention, the Pageant staff did a great job as well all night. Can't wait for my next Front Bottoms show!
