Show Review: Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness at House of Blues in Orlando, FL

• July 27, 2023

It didn’t take long after doors opened at the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida for the venue to feel like it couldn’t possibly hold another soul for the impending Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness concert.

Andrew McMahon’s shows are like an Eras Tour for the pop-punk crowd. This is an artist who has been a mainstay in the genre for over 20 years and has brought along a dedicated, passionate following from the days of Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin. Now making music under the Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness moniker, the project’s fourth album, Tilt at the Wind No More, was released in March of this year. Joined by Jack’s Mannequin and Something Corporate alumni, Mikey Wagner and Bob Oxblood, McMahon, and his piano can usually be found on a steady touring schedule.

Many attendees that managed to find themselves a place up front reported waiting in line since the early afternoon, braving the 95-degree July heat. Despite the long day, they were all smiles, excitedly showing off tattoos and beaded friendship bracelets inspired by McMahon’s discography.

When asked what songs they were hoping to hear, fans named everything from the latest singles to deep cuts that never had their moment in the spotlight. While certain tunes remain staples in his set, the bulk of McMahon’s setlist changes with each tour stop, and it seems like nothing is truly off limits. With a catalog so large and beloved, it’s exciting to know that no matter how long you pour over setlist.fm, you’ll never truly be able to predict the exact show you’re about to see.

The performance began with McMahon weaving his way from the back of the venue through the audience to the stage singing “Nobody Tells You When You’re Young,” accompanied only by an illuminated music box hung over his shoulder. The crowd erupted into a lengthy applause before the set continued with “The Mixed Tape,” McMahon taking a flying leap off of the top of his piano.

McMahon is truly an artist that has grown up alongside his fans, their individual stories mirroring his own in many ways. While McMahon himself is raising a daughter, who inspired his 2014 hit song “Cecilia and the Satellite,” many of his fans are also on the journey of parenthood and are passing along McMahon’s music to the next generation. One lucky 9-year-old fan even got themselves a coveted barricade spot to experience their second Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness show alongside their guardian. Another young fan, balanced on their guardian’s hip, handed McMahon a letter and a friendship bracelet intended for his daughter.

The line between stage and audience was blurred over and over again as McMahon returned to the crowd for different portions of the set. He surfed across the venue on an inflatable affectionately called the “La La Llama” during “La La Lie.” He dusted off the anthemic Something Corporate tune, “Hurricane,” as he sang and jumped around with fans in the pit. And, of course, he threw a colorful party in the crowd with a 5th grade PE class-style rainbow parachute during “Synesthesia,” a fan-favorite activity. McMahon always has a way of making the whole venue feel like they’re part of the show.

As the almost two-hour set came to a close, McMahon led a singalong to a stripped-down version of “Punk Rock Princess.” Then, a brief cover of U2’s “With Or Without You” blended perfectly into the final song of the evening, “Dark Blue.”

While some fans were making the trek back to their cars after the show let out, others were grouped together outside of the gate leading to the backdoor of the venue. A short while later, McMahon came outside to chat, sign autographs, and take photos, a regular occurrence following his performances. The love that his fans have for him is reflected tenfold in the love he shows for them.

McMahon’s rich lyrical storytelling and themes of love, loss, survival, and joy have remained consistent in his songwriting after all this time. No matter what era of his career made you a fan, you’re sure to find a familiar favorite song, and maybe even a new one, at an Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness gig.

Andrew McMahon Reveals Something Corporate’s First Tour in Over 20 Years

• By Angie Martoccio

Angie Martoccio

We have some “Good News”: Something Corporate have announced their first tour in over 20 years.

The announcement arrives after the SoCal pop-punk band reunited for a handful of shows last year, hitting the When We Were Young festival in Las Vegas and a pair of New Year’s gigs in Anaheim, California. The 2024 tour, which kicks off in New York City on June 21, features the original lineup: frontman Andrew McMahon , lead guitarist Josh Partington, bassist Kevin Page, drummer Brian Ireland, and guitarist William Tell. Check the dates out below; tickets go on sale March 1.

The trek marks Something Corporate’s first tour following their hiatus in 2005. McMahon went on to form Jack’s Mannequin and his solo outfit, the Wilderness, but die-hard fans have been patiently waiting for Something Corporate to reunite for years. You can watch a promo video, where the group pays homage to Office Space , below.

Take me back to the beginning. How did the idea to reunite come about? Honestly, to use an overused term, it was very organic. I’d say the genesis was two Septembers ago now. It was my 40th birthday, and I’d been on tour with Chris [Carrabba] from Dashboard Confessional. Weirdly, it was one of the first throwback kind of tours I had done, even though I was doing it as the Wilderness. I’d resisted the temptation, and then it felt like, for whatever reason — approaching 40 and all these things — I was like, “I’m going to go hang with one of my old homies from the day.”

Editor’s picks

Every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history.

And it was kind of magical. We did a semi reunion in 2010 with Bobby [Anderson], who was the filling guitar player when Will left the band in 2003. It’s not to say I wasn’t fully invested, but for me at that moment, it was just checking a box because I knew fans wanted to see that. Whereas, when we got together at my 40th, it weirdly felt like it did when we were 16. And so I floated out to my agents, “If there’s a festival or if there’s something out there that seems worthy of a reunion, let me know,” and then We Were Young came up. And it just felt celebratory. It wasn’t work. It was just too fun to not try and do a few more times.

Andrew McMahon Preps Drive-In Shows for 15th Anniversary of 'Everything in Transit'

Miranda lambert embraces her power on fiery single 'wranglers', dua lipa's third album, 'radical optimism,' is here.

The thing that I had been running from for so long — wanting to just stay relevant and be modern and do whatever was next — for the first time, I was like, “No, this was really special.” And then Amy [Fleisher Madden] put out the Negatives book, and I had written my memoir . All of a sudden I was feeling so much pride for where I had come from. The shows are great parties, people are so joyful. Seeing them en masse drinking the Kool-Aid, being like, “We want these memories back!”

You’ve played some of these songs in Wilderness sets, but with SoCo you guys are bringing back rarities like “She Paints Me Blue” and “As You Sleep.” How does that feel to revisit? Really great. I’ll be honest: The bands I built in the aftermath of Something Corporate, I picked guys that are ringers. And I mistakenly — honestly, I’m not even proud to say this — but I thought, “This [reunion] will be fun, but I won’t feel as musically fulfilled by this.” We were a high school band. These dudes don’t even play music professionally anymore. And I just grossly underestimated, one, just how great these guys are as musicians, and two, how powerful it is to be back in spaces, playing songs with the people you learn to play with.

I have one Something Corporate song I’m going to ask you about. Can you guess what that song is? Well, I could probably, but I’ll let you say it instead.

I want to know the lore of “Konstantine.” What are your feelings about it now, more than 20 years later? It’s really taken on a life of its own in the last 20-plus years. OK. I’m going to eat a bite of food. I need protein to answer this question. You never know how long the answer will be for how long the song is.

That’s fair. Look, I think the reason it has been this weird unicorn of a song throughout my whole career is [because] it’s a very earnest, very long, very wordy expression of what it’s like to be young and in love and also to have your heart broken. The reason it was so potent is because written about honestly a few people, and it was the the last gasp of three different relationships that had tracked through at least large portions of my time in high school. Some of them overlapped, and there were breakups and makeups. A lot of it, I’m not very proud of, to be honest. But I think in that moment it was like I just couldn’t stop writing, which is a beautiful thing.

The first version of that song is a live recording. The song wasn’t meant to be 10 minutes long. It was a typical pop-structured song, and I got to the middle and instead of stopping, I just sang every verse I had written and thrown away. And that recording is what got popular underground in Orange County. One of the girls who was a part of this song was in the audience, and I was trying to win her back. It became this very earnest teenage moment where I was in this band that was actually selling clubs out now, and we were hometown heroes. It all just got wrapped up in that song — the conversations about trying to become a rock star, all of that frenetic love and heartbreak and dreaming. And now I have to be heckled for it every night. It’s the story of my last 20-plus years.

In my surlier late Something Corporate and then post-Something Corporate days, I would actually get angry at people. Now I laugh about it. If people heckle me enough, I’ll do a little joke version where I’ll play a chorus of it, and I’ll say, “Take out your phones, tell all your friends that I just did a 45-minute version of ‘Konstantine.'” I do love the song. It’s just long.

Dua Lipa Finds Her Bliss on 'Radical Optimism'

Trump lies that he can’t testify because of his gag order, randy travis lost most of his speech in 2013. how is he releasing a new song, david gilmour is touring. just don't ask for pink floyd classics.

Look, there are songs on the records that we haven’t revisited yet that probably weren’t even our favorites on the records that they were released on, and so we probably rarely played them to begin with. We may because now we’ve got a lot of the catalog learned. I could see us diving into some of the other material. We haven’t played “Good News.” There are songs off the EP [2021’s Audioboxer ] like “Little” that we haven’t played. So I’ll be curious about those.

The Pen and the Piano Tour

I am both pleased and terrified to announce The Pen and the Piano Tour. An acoustic evening with me and my friends, Allen Stone , Zac Clark and bob oxblood (formerly of Jack’s Mannequin). I’m pleased because I’ll be boarding a bus with three dear friends, all gifted singer/songwriters to play 6 weeks of intimate shows around the United States. I’m terrified because I want this to be a totally unique concert experience, and the truth is I’m not exactly sure what that looks like yet. In my mind's eye it’s equal parts VH1 Storytellers and Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. A stage where I can perform and tell stories about the songs I’ve written over the last two decades and where my friends can perform and tell their stories too. It will be weird and fun and honest. An exploration of the moments in between, that make a song worth writing. Pre-sale tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10am local! You can purchase yours with the code PIANO.
