I finally got to see Bleachers play at Shadow of the City in Asbury Park, NJ. It was absolutely amazing. The feeling to be in a crowd surrounded by Bleachers fans again is indescribable. I couldn't believe I was there, finally seeing the show that I have been waiting for and planning for almost two and a half years. The wait was worth it.


Bleachers played for two hours. They opened with "91". And then got the crowd warmed up with "Let's Get Married" and kept the energy up until Bleachers gave us a break to breathe with "Wake Me" and a cover of "Jersey Girl". Mid-set, Jack begged the crowd to get on each others’ shoulders for "Rollercoaster". It was out of my comfort zone, but I—reluctantly—got on my boyfriend's shoulders for the entire song. The new perspective had a great view, but I prefer dancing with my feet on the ground.


We got a total of 25 songs...but when the set was over, I still wanted more. It’s too bad they played "How Dare You Want More” early in the set, it would have been a great opportunity to close with it!
