Happy Jimmy Eat World Day, to all those who celebrate! Yes, today (10/17) is Jimmy Eat World Day in Phoenix. Last year Mayor Kate Gallego presented the band with a proclamation thanking them for what they’ve done representing the capitol city and being “a force in the music industry for three decades over the course of 10 albums.”
The Phoenix-based quartet recently played a historic set at Best Friends Forever Fest in Las Vegas, and new music is also in the works, though the group has not yet announced a release date.
Defying the odds, the band has consisted of Jim Adkins on lead vocals, guitar, and keyboards; Tom Linton on rhythm guitar and backing vocals; Rick Burch on bass and backing vocals; and Zach Lind on drums and percussion since 1995 and remains one of the longest-running stable rosters in popular music.
Recently they stopped by the Setlist offices to chat with Bree Wilde about a wide variety of topics that sprouted from the 1,700 setlists of theirs we have in our database.
