Coach Party played a mix of their best tracks, including “Flag” and “Micro Aggression,” which got the crowd jumping like they were on a trampoline. My personal fave was “All I Want,” which has a chorus so catchy that even the security guards were nodding along.
They threw in a cheeky snippet of a Blur song as a tribute, which made the older fans in the crowd (raises hand) feel very seen. It was a lovely little wink that said, “We know our history, but we’re making our own lane.”
What the Catfish Fans Thought
I chatted to a few folks after the set, and the consensus was universal: “Who are these guys? I need their playlist immediately.” Social media exploded with people tagging them, saying things like, “You just made the support slot your audition for headlining.”
Even Van himself gave them a shoutout during Catfish’s set, calling them “the coolest band to ever open for us.” High praise from a guy who usually just grunts and plays guitar. okay, he does more than grunt, but you get the idea.
