The Format Live Debut “Boycott Heaven” in Hollywood Cemetery

The Format Live Debut “Boycott Heaven” in Hollywood Cemetery

Is there a more apt place to live debut your song about Heaven than in a star-studded cemetery in Los Angeles?

The Format returned to LA for the first time in 18 years last week with a full set of old hits and singalongs and blessed the loyal fans with the debut of “Boycott Heaven,” that they kept tucked away from their previous gigs of their mini tour.

Singer Nate Ruess and multi-instrumentalist Sam Means, along with their touring band of Mark Buzard (guitar and keyboards), Don Raymond Jr. (bass) and Will Noon (drums) held three other comeback gigs before their final one in Hollywood.

The group kicked it all off in late Sept. at the Arizona State Fair which was the first time they had performed live together since 2007.
