Philadelphia's Bigger Lovers -- singer/guitarist Bret Tobias, guitarist Ed Hogarty, bassist Scott Jefferson, and drummer Patrick Berkery -- debuted in 2001 with How I Learned to Stop Worrying, a critical favorite that aligned the quartet with like-minded Big Star/Byrds/Band devotees like Pernice Brothers, Waxwings, and Beachwood Sparks. In the can since 1999, the album was shelved when its original label -- North Carolina's Mood Food -- went belly up. When the LP did finally appear, it bore the insignia of Black Dog, a Mississippi-based indie. Luckily, some of this label drama was alleviated by strong critical response to Worrying, as well as solid European distribution. The band proved to be a great live act too, and seemed to circle the U.S. a few times over the next year. The Bigger Lovers returned to wax in August 2002 with Honey in the Hive (Yep Roc), a more concentrated fix for their power pop jones. This Affair Never Happened appeared two years later.
whats up? i found this site and thought i'd tell everyone, it shows you if anyone at school likes you. i dont know how it works but its really cool, it told me a couple different people who have crushes on me. you gotta try it!
Great show and I know it's not my fault the band is breaking up.
My favorite Bigger Lovers moment was getting to see Brett play solo acoustic in London, as it was pure luck i was in the city as the same time as him. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.
p.s. Any chance of getting the setlist posted or maybe even a bitorrent of the show?
