SUMMARY:Bleachers
LOCATION:Tonhalle
DESCRIPTION:The third track on Bleachers’ fifth album is called We Should
  Talk. Ultimately a song about reconnecting with a lost friend\, it’s al
 so a track by the band that Jack Antonoff considers “the core” of his 
 creative work that touches on Antonoff’s start in music. “We had a ban
 d\, we had a life\, we had dreams\,” he sings\, “in a van we wrote our
  own bible supreme”\, a poetic summary of the years when a teenage Anton
 off escaped small-town New Jersey with Outline\, a quartet who absorbed th
 e influence of the punk underground\, self-releasing their EP\, cropping u
 p on compilations called things like Bottled Violence and Punk Will Never 
 Die\, booking their own shows in anarchist bookstores and community venues
  with the aid of a directory called Book Your Own Fucking Life. “We call
 ed what we were doing emo”\, he notes\, “but emo to us at the time mea
 nt Fugazi and Texas Is The Reason\, so a very different context fromt oday
 ”.\n\nThey piled into Antonoff’s family minivan\, Book Your Own Fuckin
 g Life in hand\, and set out to tour America\, albeit with a very New Jers
 ey chip on their shoulder. “When we started\, I was 14\, we were playing
  in fire halls and VFW halls\, and 15 miles away The Strokes were playing 
 their first shows at the Mercury Lounge in Manhattan\,” he remembers. 
 “We wouldn’t have even fucking considered going to see them\, not beca
 use we were too poor\, not because we couldn’t get out of the house\, bu
 t because we were like\, ‘oh\, fuck that New York scene’. We were from
  another planet. New Jersey\, it’s separated from Manhattan by this body
  of water\, like a medieval moat\, which people do not cross. There’s th
 is whole sentiment of\, ‘oh well\, that’s how they do it in the city
 ’\, that everything New York is famous for is better in Jersey: bagels\,
  pizza\, sleaze\, all of it. Which is true.”\n\nTouring with Outline and
  his subsequent band\, the folkier Steel Train\, was a hardscrabble life. 
 “We must have played 250 shows a year\, for five to ten years straight\,
  in a time when being in a band wasn’t something that\, like\, your pare
 nts would brag about\,” he smiles. “And it was magical. It left me wit
 h a massive love of being a touring artist. Why does a person have that bi
 zarre bone in their body that makes them want to be onstage in front of al
 l these people sweating and screaming together?” He shrugs. “I do.”
