My first exposure to Bayside was sometime around late 2005 or 2006. “Devotion and Desire” was one of the first music videos I loaded onto my video iPod when that was a thing. It’s crazy to look back at those days and then look at where we’re at now. Especially since the iPod seems to be a bit of an ancient relic to anyone younger than millennials.
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve seen Bayside through the years. They seems to have a soft spot for the city of sin, so I’ve been lucky to go and catch them just about every time they’ve come through the last decade. They were one of my “needed to see” bands at that first When We Were Young, and I was super grateful to see them play their special acoustic show at Fremont Country Club back in 2019. While I admittedly slip in and out of different phases of life and music, Bayside is a band I can always come back to and blissfully enjoy no matter what phase of existence I’m in. They’re just one of those bands that pull my broken pieces back together, no matter what state they’re in.
THE ERRORS tour is a special one. Bayside is spending two nights in each city they’re hitting on this run. Two nights, two different sets. But the Vegas dates are to be a bit extra special. We have The Punk Rock Museum, and early in the day on Sunday they will be doing a special unveiling of a 25th anniversary display, along with another special performance in The Pennywise Garage. This is such a huge honor, The Punk Rock Museum is home to many incredible pieces and overall history documenting all the different states of punk, hardcore, crossover, post hardcore, and all influenced music that at their core, come from punk rock.
The main shows will be held at Fremont Country Club, located at 601 Fremont Street, right across from the El Cortez in Downtown Las Vegas. The Saturday show is sold out, but there are still some tickets left for the Sunday show!! You can snag those by clicking HERE!
Twenty five years. It’s incredible that after all this time, this band still stands strong. They consistently put out A++ records, and are always selling out shows all over the place. I am definitely excited to take part in all of the goodness that these guys bring to the stage! If you’re not in Vegas, you can still take part in the celebration, The Errors Tour goes on through the end of June, with an additional leg that runs through all of September.
Make sure you grab your tickets, and lets go have a blast celebrating 25 YEARS OF BAYSIDE!!!
