His voice compliments Laura's so fuckin well, he could easily do lead to if he wants to. And I love how he does the highs and she does the lows, it makes it way more interesting than a lot of bands dynamic.
He always hits that note in TA live. Not sure why. It drives me bonkers. Can’t find a single time where he doesn’t go for that note. It seems like a choice he’s making on purpose. It matches up eventually but is flat at the start. Screw it if Tom wants that note , he gets it
I get that they had legal rules for this house show but if I saw Against Me! play a house show I'd be going fucking nuts. Also Laura's Nash jazzmaster is fucking gorgeous.
I'm currently reading Laura Jane's book. I didn't realize how much bullshit she had to go through in the early days of the band, with so many poseurs calling her and her band "sellouts." Bands are allowed to change. True fans of the band never would have called them "sellouts." They would have changed and matured along with them.
there was actually one interview where she mentioned that an ex fan slashed their tires when they were playing a show and treated to throw a brick at them it was fucking brutal.
i thought jay was a good fit for the band until he revealed himself to be a total shitbag. i met him at an AM! gig in philly years back and he was totally up his own ass.
"do it yourself never meant do it in low, it always meant do it together, do it with your friends" Finally a non mediocre punk rock band that brings this out

Punk Rock 4 life. Love Against Me! So happy Laura Jane is able to be her authentic self and keep rocking out for us fans. Just be decent to each other, we’re all human beings and we’re all suffering in our own ways. 🤘
Still one of the greatest, most energetic live gigs on UA-cam. Coming back to this concert every so often. Against Me! is one hell of a punk rock band!
Tom was good friends of my sister in high-school. He actually used to come play at my open mic night and alway broke my strings. I'm proud to have had him/ her break my strings. Naples Florida strong 💪
brings back memories to the first time I saw against me! at a small house show in Tacoma, WA in 2003. ahh, so good. and they are still just as amazing!
Here I am, sitting in Denton for the 10th year and about to move across the country. 5 am falling in love with Against Me! and Laura busts out that Mountain Goats track. Something wild in the air right now....
I didn't realize this until Laura said it but once I figured out I was Non-Binary & Trans I was able to start focusing more of my energy on creativity and building things. Having to hide part of who you are really does consume a lot of time and effort.
Awesome work Against Me! keep up the good work, takes me back to Hobart less than a month ago where I was lucky enough to meet Laura and James both amazing people and awesomely nice, thanks for the memories!
love these House of Strombo shows. Thanks George. Makes me want to invite my favorite bands over after the pandemic. think my basement bigger than this one. Against Me! rocks. There Atlantic City Beer Fest show moved to August. Hoping it happens
This show is fucking beautiful. And I'd be amiss to not not give kudos to whomever decided to release the video in blank and white. It gives such a touching aspect to the importance of the music. 🙏❤️
Wow, awesome show by an awesome band. I'd have liked to see some different songs (I have a soft spot for New Wave) here and there but overall: 8.5/10. Great stuff, thanks George and AM!
Depends what you mean by "anarchist." If your meaning includes rolling with Trotskyists or the RCP, calling the cops or utilizing the State to achieve your objectives in any way, or having anything to do with Antifa, then no. Fuck no. How long have you been an anarchist? Because none of this shit used to fly....
"To me DIY means do it together, do it with your friends"
Amen!! Punk's not dead!!
Monster drivin´ drums from Atom. Fantastic. Drum God.
This bands sound makes me so happy. Makes me want to drink beer and hug strangers
YES! Exactly!
I would hug you at a punkrock show while drinking beer =D cheers
Same here man makes me want to sing oh wait I do on my channel , I love this band .
Lol definitely me during FestFl in Gainesville when they played the whole weekend.
Yep!
James Bowman · Best backing vocals in the scene ·

Except on I’m a teenage anarchist. They aren’t harmonizing well at all.
@@cvblaylock true, but those harmonies are so fuckin hard to hit so imma give him a pass
Tou...oh...ou....ou...ouuu...oouch!

Laura Jane Grace you are my fucking hero. I am so damn grateful for you. on that note, time to watch this 1,000 times!
She's my hero too :) Against Me! has such great fans
yes hes really good
I get that they had legal rules for this house show but if I saw Against Me! play a house show I'd be going fucking nuts. Also Laura's Nash jazzmaster is fucking gorgeous.

Atom was the best decision they could have made for this band.
Yeah agreed - awesome drummer, awesome guy
also Inge. They sound super solid and both of them look super happy to be there
Atom and Inge brought so much to the band!
Don't forget about Inge. Dude can shred.
i thought jay was a good fit for the band until he revealed himself to be a total shitbag. i met him at an AM! gig in philly years back and he was totally up his own ass.
Nice to see that Dee Dee was able to get a job after he left the Ramones.
TheMachineThatKillsFascists he could only wish lol
That's fucking funny. He does look like him.
Do you mean Dee Dee King
Mini me version.
And stole Lemmy's bass and looking at the ceiling mic placement
I still come back to this video all the time. Every time I watch it and see Nubs in the crowd, it puts a smile on my face. Great show!
Jesus Christ, how did it take me so many years to find this? Watching this made my eyes tear and my soul bleed.
Best version of Walking is Still Honest, right here
Yes. Fuck yes.
"It's punk rock to save your hearing folks" ;)
"do it yourself never meant do it in low, it always meant do it together, do it with your friends"
Finally a non mediocre punk rock band that brings this out
Pabloquero Pizarro i thoight she said do it yourself never meant do it alone, it always meant do it together?
This set is so tightly played, it's more energetic and fun than the already great album version. THIS is how live bands should be!!!
Damn you're right
honestly, amazing

I really dont understand why laura wants to suck the brass off someones fat fingers, but hey...too each their own...;)
CapnMcMuffin I would have lost my shit when they started playing baby I’m an anarchist 😩🙌🏻❤️
Damn, that part about feeling pressure to show up "fully formed" is intense.
My intention was to play this in the background while I photoshop... Can't bring myself to minimize, such an awesome band!
Inge's bass line in Rebecca is sooooooooo badass.
Punk Rock 4 life. Love Against Me! So happy Laura Jane is able to be her authentic self and keep rocking out for us fans. Just be decent to each other, we’re all human beings and we’re all suffering in our own ways. 🤘
"it's punk rock to save your hearing, folks"
I can't tell you how many times I've watched this.
Her dance when she says "you've got no hips to shake"
Luara looks so much more comfortable in her skin than angry Tom Gabel.
Walking is still honest sounds ten times better here than the album version. Those background vocals are rock solid.
OMG a Mountain Goats cover
This must be one of the best live performances on youtube. pure energy and great production.
are you kidding? Lucas?? wtf, just brings him up to play like it's nothing.. my heart just exploded.
I dont remember Tom, all I know is that Laura has always been the front of Against Me, and I've been a fan from day one
Still one of the greatest, most energetic live gigs on UA-cam. Coming back to this concert every so often. Against Me! is one hell of a punk rock band!
I think it's realy cool that AM brought out Lucas. I never would've known about the Cliks or Lucas without this video.
thanks to my brother josh for turning me on to this wonderful band, love you big josh and of course Against Me!!
My heart melted when strombo hugged Inge
Glad to see their playing Baby I'm an Anarchist again :D best lineup of Against Me! to exist
this has to be the best crowd for a House of Strombo shows. seems to be more fans than usual
Love the up close shots of the band & seeing LJG smile! Would have LOVED to have been there!
It is punk rock to save your hearing. Nuff said.
WHAT?!?!
Ya gotta speak up, I just turned 49.
Oh yeah, yeah, ear plugs - IMPORTANT!
Fucking hell. Laura is an absolute inspiration. Thank you all for this.
Incredible performance. Some really lucky people in that room
Against Me kick major ass. Great set and great stylish camera shots too.
Tom was good friends of my sister in high-school. He actually used to come play at my open mic night and alway broke my strings. I'm proud to have had him/ her break my strings. Naples Florida strong 💪
brings back memories to the first time I saw against me! at a small house show in Tacoma, WA in 2003. ahh, so good. and they are still just as amazing!
Awesome. Only time I’ve seen them was when they opened for Foo Fighters in Montreal. It was St. Patrick’s day. An awesome show.
Awesome content man. Thank you! Walking is still honest is STILL such a banger!!
probably the best version of true trans soul rebel i have heard
Great cafe racer George, and really appreciate the house party content, great upgrade element to the strombo show.!!
I went from headbanger to trans man this shit rocks thank you Laura
Here I am, sitting in Denton for the 10th year and about to move across the country. 5 am falling in love with Against Me! and Laura busts out that Mountain Goats track. Something wild in the air right now....
2020 anyone?
What about "this" 2020?
no
2021
2024,even.
Did anyone else notice Talia Osborne was in the crowd?! She is also known as "Nubs" from the NOFX song "She's Nubs" soooo awesome!!
I still get goosebumps at Oceans live
ROCK & ROLL TRANSFORMATION ! . . . Thanks for the Party
Holy shit, this is the greatest live performance of against me I've seen! Aside of seeing their live shows! Kudos to George
What a great time do be alive! Thank you House Of Strombo!
Amazing performance, as always. AM! sounds better than ever. The backup vocals in this performance are on point. \m/
Amazing show. Would've killed to be there. How was the crowd not freaking out?!?!
jtinyman they are pretty much all singing with friends having a good time
They keep having to cut because the chick in the front is texting half the show lol
This is 2020. What are.... Crowds?
The hipsters?
Thank you Laura Jane for the advice at 30:00. Needed that today! super cool band with great ideas and such a cool sound and an honest way of writing!
Fucking badass! And opening with "Pints of Guinness..."? Epic!!! \m/ >.< \m/
Absolutely blew the roof off that place. Such an amazing band 🤟
..the best band you could ever heard live ..powerfull as f@*!!!...thank god I had the chance..
Amazing. No other words.
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
That Mountain Goats cover was on point.
I keep coming back to this video years later. This is their best opening ever. I cry out of pure joy Everytime
Oooo to have the House of Strombo back again 💖💖🤘
Everything about this is perfect.
12 years ago i decided to get a band tattoo as my first tattoo. i decided on on AM!, never regretted it
Atom Willard !!!!
Wow they sound great!!
Covering the Mountain Goats! Zomg!
The audio and camerawork is fucking perfect!
I didn't realize this until Laura said it but once I figured out I was Non-Binary & Trans I was able to start focusing more of my energy on creativity and building things. Having to hide part of who you are really does consume a lot of time and effort.
I love discovering new Good Bands (new for me that is)
I looked away during the beginning of the ocean and was very much shocked to hear someone who wasn't Laura LMAO
Love that beautiful Nash Jazzmaster
Awesome work Against Me! keep up the good work, takes me back to Hobart less than a month ago where I was lucky enough to meet Laura and James both amazing people and awesomely nice, thanks for the memories!
I think I've watched this at least 50 times
That CB750 Cafe racer opened my heart! Love that baaaaaaand!
Aeeee Motorama por aqui, que bom gosto hein!!
Se a CB fosse azul andava mais....
🖤
You know it
that jazzmaster is beautiful!!!!
love these House of Strombo shows. Thanks George. Makes me want to invite my favorite bands over after the pandemic. think my basement bigger than this one. Against Me! rocks. There Atlantic City Beer Fest show moved to August. Hoping it happens
🖤🖤 Everything about this band is awesome 👏
damn listening to against me makes me really realize that my band sucks
Nah. Your band just needs to keep playing out and rehearsing
Don't feel bad, very few compare.
No punk rock band sucks, that's the point
22:55 turn your phone sideways, George!
Inge is such a smol! (Atleast from my perspective)
Fantastic performance. Watch Strombo really get into it haha.
This show is fucking beautiful. And I'd be amiss to not not give kudos to whomever decided to release the video in blank and white. It gives such a touching aspect to the importance of the music. 🙏❤️
Ugh, perfection as usual.
Great concert! I have been whole week watching this video. Hope they come to Spain soon
Bowman the showman!
Simply one of the best fucking bands on the planet. Period and it takes a lot of courage to do what LJG has been through!
Wow, awesome show by an awesome band. I'd have liked to see some different songs (I have a soft spot for New Wave) here and there but overall: 8.5/10. Great stuff, thanks George and AM!
Well, this was a great way to kickstart my Thursday.
😍🖤 Didn't knew them, they are amazing!!
Laura Jane Grace: Always a joy
The mountain goats cover was fantastic.
So happy watching people brave enough to live their reality. I think we call that shit PUNK!!!!! Fucking get it!!!
I discovered this band tru this video. Great band and honest music. Rock and roll lives!
Any anarchist out there still listening to Against Me? Up vote if you're out there.
Depends what you mean by "anarchist." If your meaning includes rolling with Trotskyists or the RCP, calling the cops or utilizing the State to achieve your objectives in any way, or having anything to do with Antifa, then no. Fuck no. How long have you been an anarchist? Because none of this shit used to fly....
CodyAndANinja absolutely luv :)
Love them
This is the party We came for...
Praise
Damn, I had tickets to see them in a small club back in March...fucking 2020, this video has kept me sane all year!
Großartig!!
