Performed at the beginning of various small shows before its official release on March 14th, “Nobody Likes The Opening Band” was released alongside the announcement of a tour.
Its music video is explained to be:
IDKhow community talent show performance, circa mid-1983. This particular tape, marked...
[Verse 1]
Oh, come and see the opening band
Now that you've got your tickets and beverages in hand
They look so tired, sound uninspired, guitars are secondhand
'Cause no one likes an opening band
[Verse 2]
Nobody likes the opening band
Their set time's far too early and I've never heard of them
And chances are they won't go far, career is sure to end
'Cause no one likes an opening band
[Bridge]
Oh, unfamiliar things will make us nervous
But singing here for you gives me a purpose, so
[Verse 3]
Take pity on the opening bands
'Cause no one came to see them except their mom and dad
But if you lend an ear and give them just one little chance
You may just like the–
You may just like the–
You may just like the opening band
Nobody Likes the Opening Band was written by Dallon Weekes.
Nobody Likes the Opening Band was produced by Dallon Weekes.
I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME released Nobody Likes the Opening Band on Wed Mar 14 2018.
Weekes shared on Twitter that this song is indeed about his own experiences as an opening act, saying:
Yes! That song is about us. I always hope no other openers ever are offended by it. Every performer has been an opening act at sometime.
Dallon Weekes told Ones To Watch:
Anyone who is a performer is going to be an opening act at some point. I suppose it was inspired by the anxieties that can come with being in that spot. The audience isn’t yours, and you have to work that much harder to win people over.
Dallon Weekes told Ones to Watch:
We shot in this 100+ year old church building in Salt Lake City using two modern HD cameras, and one vintage VHS camcorder that had been sitting in a basement for the last thirty years. We didn’t know it actually still worked until we checked the tape afterward.
