Paramore make wildest dreams come true for three lucky fans at Manchester show beffshuff
I still remember the first time I heard That’s What You Get by Paramore. It was 2007. I was approaching 10 years old and my older millennial siblings were in their rebellious teenage years fighting over the TV remote when my sister switched from The Box to MTV.
Souls bright eyed and bushy tailed, it was up to British indie music veterans, Bloc Party, to amp up the energy levels, to which they dutifully obliged. Known for best loved tracks like Helicopter, Banquet and Hunting for Witches, you’d never believe the band has been kicking around since 1999, with Hayley Williams’ crediting them as a source of inspiration for the later-established Paramore during her set.
Then comes Paramore, who’s tour has so far been incredibly well documented on TikTok, so some of their most well-researched followers may already have known what to expect. But nothing can prepare you for the momentous feeling of watching the band you grew up with on the top of their game. I’m not ashamed to admit that I shed a few tears on approximately four occasions throughout the powerful performance.
Between each tracks, the lights would go completely black, almost as if to press a reset button. It made each and every song feel like a music video, complete with video projections, in its own right - one we were all a part of. As the audience recognised the introductions within a millisecond of Taylor York’s guitar, deafening screams filled the arena - not just for one or two universally popular numbers, but for every. single. one.
The last 20 years haven’t always been an easy ride for the alt rock band, having ‘nearly broke up like 50 times’, Hayley jokes on stage. But it’s true. Zac Farro was just 14 when he began gigging with Paramore, Hayley only 16. They were kids who have had to grow up very publicly, and like a lot of families, there have been fights - some pretty public ones too. The band took a hiatus in 2018 to try and nurture their relationship, and they’ve returned in 2023 so much stronger and healthier.
Whether you first heard Paramore on MTV, or your first encounter was with The Twilight saga, Decode went down a storm, followed up with Still Into You and Rose Coloured Boy, before a really tender and emotional acoustic rendition of Misguided Ghosts making a rare live occurrence, with Last Hope never far behind.
