As their From the Studio to the Stage Tour beats on, Bleachers made a stop at Madison Square Garden last week to play a 22-song, career-spanning setlist. Beginning with a one-two punch of “I Am Right on Time” and “Modern Girl,” Jack Antonoff and his band ripped through renditions of “How Dare You Want More” (featuring Jack’s dad, Ricky), “Rollercoaster,” “Tiny Moves” and “Stop Making This Hurt.”

Earlier this year, Bleachers released a self-titled album that boasted some of Antonoff’s strongest solo material yet, including “Modern Girl” and “Tiny Moves,” two gems that have skyrocketed to the top of his canon. In their review, Paste contributor Sam Rosenberg wrote that “opener ‘I Am Right On Time’ begins the record with promise, backed by a groovy, upbeat synth and a jittery guitar riff reminiscent of Spoon’s ‘Don’t Make Me A Target.’ ‘Tiny Moves’ is a fun, catchy offering that delivers on what Bleachers does best: taking a delicate, simple little ditty and blowing it up into something widescreen while still maintaining its gentleness. The soulful ‘Call Me After Midnight’ benefits from an inspiring co-write with Kevin Abstract and the Brockhampton bandleader’s collaborators, Ryan Beatty and Romil Hemnani.”
