Baroness at Union Transfer
Last night, Baroness played their first show as a full band since a bus accident in England last August that injured every member of the group. It was also the band’s first show with a new line-up: Nick Jost on bass and Sebastian Thomson on drums. Below, watch fan footage of the first song the band performed last night at Union Transfer in Philly, “Take My Bones Away.”
Frontman John Dyer Baizley recently spoke to Stereogum about his long recovery process. “This accident worked its way out on everyone on a different way,” said Baizley. “We were all affected in different ways. Getting back to rehearsals and even the concept of touring has been, at times, challenging. The most immediate challenge I faced was physical. But my anticipation and excitement is building. It’s been fun playing music and practicing again. We started doing this because we enjoyed the outlet. There was something rehabilitative just in the pure rehearsals. We’re excited to pay again. Our lives and livelihood were nearly taken away from us.”
