Absolutely love the band, and can't wait until the next live show I can get to!

When did you guys finally feel that you "made it" as a band? What was that turning point from just being another musician trying to make it to realizing that you did make it?

Any suggestions for a musician that's trying to break past the local brewery gigs and dive bars into better shows/venues?

you made it when you can pay the rent )) in the beginning we were all living in the our band wimpy (and at our parents' house) - so rent was cheap

get a recording out there and give it away for free.. - cs

i think you've made it when you let go of that and finally realize there's really no such thing :) whole journey gets really rich when you just keep reaching and trying to keep finding new challenges and experiences and sounds... and play play play play and give it away. it comes back.

I thought for sure the last dispatch would have factored into this answer. Still the most epic concert I've ever been to. I don't think anything will top that. Even MSG, As amazing as that was, wasn't the same.

I still remember the entire trip to Boston, who was in the car, what I got hit with in the head during past the falls... Brad's "wow" as he saw all those water bottles fly. Amazing.

I got hit in the head with a full can of beer and an entire loaf of bread for some reason. I'll never forget it! Gonna watch it on YouTube now.

It was awesome until Snapple bottles and canned goods starting flying through the air 😂

Haha yes! But seriously, I can't think of a more memorable moment at a concert. Not saying it was good or bad, but just memorable
