Two very special guests made a surprise appearance last night during a Touché Amoré show at the Bowery Ballroom, as mentioned by Stereogum. Touché is on tour promoting their latest album Stage Four. First to take the stage at the Bowery was Geoff Rickly of Thursday, who was featured on Touché Amoré’s debut album. Thursday, an American post-hardcore band was formed in New Jersey in 1997 and released their major label debut, War All the Time in 2003. Rickly aided in the performance of the Stage Four track “Flowers and You.”
Second to assist in the show was Ned Russin, frontman of the Pennsylvania band Title Fight. They performed a Title Fight song “Crescent-Shaped Depression,” that Touché Amoré covered on a 2011 split EP. Title Fight have released three studio albums from 2011, 2012, and 2015.
