Streetlight Manifesto plays Stage AE with Hot Rod Circuit on the 'The Presence of the Past Tour'.
Streetlight Manifesto are playing Stage AE on Saturday, November 21, as part of The Presence of the Past Tour. It's a Saturday night show in Pittsburgh, and they're bringing Hot Rod Circuit along to open the bill.
If you're not familiar, Streetlight Manifesto is a ska-punk band that leans heavily on a full horn section. The sound is built around that brass—trumpets, trombones, and saxes running alongside the guitar and drums—and the songs usually move at a clip. It's the kind of music that keeps the energy high throughout the set, and with a full horn section on stage, it's a lot of musicians playing at once. Hot Rod Circuit opens the night, so you'll get two bands on the bill.
The show is part of The Presence of the Past Tour, the run they're taking this record across the country. The tour name itself points back to the band's history, and the set usually reflects that, pulling from their newer material and the older songs they've played for years. Between the two acts, there's enough on the bill to fill the evening.
