Car Seat Headrest's bold new rock opera The Scholars isn't just a new chapter for the premiere standard bearers of young internet rockers. It's a spiritual rebirth, and one that didn't come easily.
In May of 2020, Car Seat Headrest (frontman Will Toledo, lead guitarist Ethan Ives, drummer Andrew Katz, and bassist Seth Dalby) released their album Making a Door Less Open, right as the world shut down. This led to a long period of enforced inactivity. When they were finally able to tour in 2022 they were delighted that their audience was now younger than ever, thanks a new generation discovering their coming-of-age classics Teens of Denial and Twin Fantasy
However, the band was soon sidelined again, this time due to illness. This hiatus resulted in a sustained period of contemplation and reflection for Toledo, which ultimately shaped The Scholars.
Inspired by an apocryphal poem by "Archbishop Guillermo Guadalupe del Toledo," and featuring character designs from Toledo's friend, the cartoonist Cate Wurtz, the album focuses on the yearning and spiritual crisis of the titular Scholars. They range from the doubt-filled playwright Beolco to Devereaux, a person born to religious conservatives who finds themselves desperate for higher guidance. Meanwhile, the music draws, carefully, from classic rock story song cycles such as The Who's Tommy and David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
Self-produced by Toledo, the band have never sounded more fully realized or assured of themselves. And while Car Seat Headrest started as Toledo's solo project, it is now fully a band. "It didn't really feel to me like things got in sync in an inner feeling way until this record, with that internal communal energy," he explains. "That's been a big journey."
This was my first concert ever, and they did not disappoint. The only thing I would have changed would be if Will had taken off his mask at some point during the show as he wore it for the entire performance
there was jorts, the music was pretty good too I guess
Very energetic and fun band! Lots of dancing, crowd singing, and fun light shows to get people involved. Annoying that mask mandates are still in place since there was obviously no social distancing so the concept of keeping it on seemed to be slightly ridiculous. It's not as if you were not sweat on by the people around you anyway. However, this has nothing to do with the venue or artists. Overall a fantastic night!
the danforth music hall staff were amazing, needing to all they need to do, to make us safe. the back up band, bartees, warm up the audience very well. car seat headrest did not miss a beat, they performed in a high energy manner as always. the audience reflected their energy on the icy rainy evening.
Car Seat Headrest is my daughter's favourite band. I went with her and this is one of the absolute BEST shows I've ever seen. You will not be sorry. I'd see them again and again.
Excellent performers and bartees strange as an opener was perfect!
car sear headrest literally saved my life and seeing them perform live was incredible. they've been one of my favorite bands for like six years. i would have preferred to have at least ONE song from how to leave town. like maybe opening with ending of dramamine. that would be incredible. but anyways yeah amazing concert. i would pay to see will dancing even without the music. also will's stage persona with the mask is very cool. very much enjoyed this concert, would go again if i had the chance.
sososo good, csh sounds even better live. was literally a spiritual experience breathing the same air as will toledo. only complaint is that i bought tickets superrr early, so i bought balcony seats (danforth hall), and no one was dancing/standing. I’d say i’d you wanna have a good time buy general admission tickets & get there early.
Sound and light show was amazing went to both shows I think the fans had a great time.
