Yeah, it's Vista Blue again. The month started with an interview with frontman Mike Patton (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2019/03/an-interview-with-mike-patton-vista-blue.html) and now it's drawing towards a close with a new song from power pop-punk's most prolific outfit.
This time around the band are celebrating opening day of what I assume is the baseball season. All this baseball stuff is beyond me but I'm sure as a cricket fan and someone who suspects himself to be at least dipping a toe into the autism spectrum (I'm quite interested in stats which is what seems to make up a large part of baseball plus I update this blog everyday which suggests an obsessive personality!) I think I'd enjoy it if there were enough hours in a day for me to give it a go. But it doesn't matter, knowing nothing about baseball doesn't detract from my enjoyment of today's song.
It's available along with another new song (the more power pop orientated It Must Be Nice) on Bandcamp. It's currently name your price so snap them up now : https://wearevistablue.bandcamp.com/album/opening-day
The band are still aiming to get enough money pledged to record their next 7" in Memphis at Ardent Studios so if you want to help them you can check out details here : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/357882646/vista-blue-hit-the-floor-7-inch-at-ardent-studios
Also of interest, even though they don't seem to play too many live shows they've got what looks like an awesome gig lined up where they'll be on a bill with The Radio Buzzkills, The Prozacs and The Rip Taylors. It's at The Cobra, Nashville on 19th April and details are here : https://www.facebook.com/events/2189605147718537/
This song is typical Vista Blue. Bright and bouncy, catchy as hell and likely to be rattling around in your head for the rest of the day. It's called Opening Day...
