This weekend, get vulnerable at a passionate pop-punk celebration of two decades of Say Anything’s seminal album Is a Real Boy.
The setlist promises a revival of the California group’s most-loved heartbreak anthems. Lauded as a “manic masterpiece of rebellion against all expectations of emo and pop-punk” by Rolling Stone, Is a Real Boy is a milestone album for a generation of millennials and it continues to get its weepy hooks into new fans to this day.
Frontman Max Bemis and company have been on the road for much of the year revisiting and reinterpreting this album — still a surprising turn of events after Bemis put the band on the shelf in 2019. But after a surprise 2023 reunion, grateful crowds come out in force to sing their lives every damn time.
7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, The Beacham, 46 N. Orange Ave., foundation-presents.com, $38-$45.
