First time to go to a show at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville.
This is s very cool venue featuring a full Restaraunt, bowling, sky viewing of the Nash. Sounds Baseball Parks and a music Hall.
Also seeing the Fruit Bats for the first time.
The lighting and sound was spot on and the bands setlist hit on all cylinders- a little new and a lot of fan favs.
Was glad they performed “The Pet Parade”- my favorite song of theirs.
Overall an awesome performance to a packed house.
I give them a 10 and would see them again.

Only giving this three stars because we got there late and missed most of the show :(
Not a knock on the Fruit Bats at all. More of a “me” problem.

About Fruit Bats
Hello from in here to all you out there.
Fruit Bats’ eighth LP opens with this invocation, this call from an isolated vocal room to your headphones somewhere out in the world. It’s a beckoning for your trust and attention, but also an assurance in lonely times—a distillation of melancholy wrapped in a danceable waltz.
“The Pet Parade,” the title track to Fruit Bats’ newest album, might be a surprising opening track for longtime fans of Eric D. Johnson’s beloved indie folk-rock project.The six-and-a-half-minute tone poem smolders and drones over just two chords, inspired by the strange and silly community events that he saw growing up outside of Chicago, in La Grange, Illinois, in which people dressed up and showed off their pets. Decades later, The Pet Parade emerges in troubled times, living within what Johnson refers to as the beauty and absurdity of existence.
At times upbeat and reassuring (“Eagles Below Us”) and at times quietly contemplative (“On the Avalon Stairs”), The Pet Parade marks a milestone for Johnson, who celebrates 20 years of Fruit Bats in 2021. In some ways still a cult band, in other ways a time-tested act, Fruit Bats has consistently earned enough small victories to carve out a career in a notoriously fickle scene.
