Say Anything at The Scoot Inn

For the younger crowd, Say Anything will be hitting The Scoot Inn with Modern Baseball to bring pop punk to Austin, while adding a fresh new twist to their show by adding in a string section. Also playing with Say Anything and Modern Baseball are Cymbals Eat Guitars and Hard Girls. The band is touring in support of their latest album Hebrews, a record which completely changed the groups sound from pop punk to music that relies heavily on strings to bring the album’s sound to life. While the show is not sold out yet, we highly encourage you to get your tickets online, as this is one tour that die hard Say Anything fans will not want to miss.
