On June 27, Sub-Radio headlined Empire Underground less than a year after opening up for Fitz and the Tantrums in the big room upstairs. The always energetic and amusing Zach Benson opened the show.

With three songs left to go, Bradley asked who was at their first concert. A bunch of hands went up. “Well, typically this is the point in the show where we’d step off stage, you’d all scream, we’d wait, and then we’d come back out and everyone would act shocked,” he said. “But, funny story, on tour with another band once, they took so long that people started to leave.” He laughed. “I don’t think we’re gonna leave the stage, but ‘One more song!’ is such a natural part of the concert experience, so after this one, how about you all just scream it for us before we do the last song, for the people who are at a concert for the first time.”

They did. Loudly. And the band gave them two more.
