“Bands are funny little things,” says Haakenson. It’s nearly impossible not to poke and prod a little for insight how one might last through the harrowing task that is keeping a band together long-term. Whenever I run across bands or projects that have made it past the decade mark (by my calculations, BBBR is coming up on their teen years at 13), I find myself fascinated with that sort of longevity, which eludes so many. “We actually like to play if it’s a venue we haven’t played ever, or for a while, we might prefer to play that place just to check it out.” We have a particular bond, feelings for the Fox and Goose. But the 2013 show, I was told by the booking guy our night was the best night they had had in a couple of years. “We’ve had a couple of CD release shows -this is the third, I think-and one of those previous two … both of them were really well attended.
When asked why the Fox and Goose is such a popular location for BBBR shows, frontman Dean Haakenson explains during a phone interview with Submerge:
To commemorate their newest release, entitled But to Hate God Do Get a Hot Tub, once again they will bring their audience to the British pub for another night of ale and new tunes. The Sacramento mainstay indie folk-rock act Be Brave Bold Robot debuted their previous album Press E to Continue on Jan. So, no, you’re not just imagining things. If you find yourself having deja vu while reading this article, it’s for a good reason: two years ago, the band in this article had a CD release show, in January … at the Fox and Goose.
