The Color Fred

We had become really good friends with Fred Mascherino from Taking Back Sunday.

And he took a step away from Taking Back Sunday to start Color Fred.

And he was good friends with our bass player, Chris.

So he took Chris on the road.

Like, let's dial into that," you know? And then also complement that with the guitar sound.

You know, going, like, Fred is famous for his JCM 800, his Marshall half stack that is on every Taking Back Sunday album he's done, every Color Fred album he's done, um, every, uh, Terrible Things, uh, recording he's done.

And it's like we wanted to kind of build around that sound.

But then also, like, you know, play on the, the softer side or the clean side of it or, like, dial up.

And I might be wrong here.

I think it was Paramore with the Color Fred and Straylight Run opening.

Oh, that's cool.

And Kate didn't want to go because she thought the crowd would have been akin to what we saw at Olivia Rodrigo.
