SUMMARY:SPORTS | '26 World Tour at The Brightside Brisbane
LOCATION:27 Warner Street\, Fortitude Valley\, Brisbane\, QLD\, 4006
DESCRIPTION:Sports have come full circle. The Oklahoma band hinges on the f
 riendship between Christian Theriot and Cale Chronister\, two musicians wh
 o met as kids and instinctively bonded. Finding mammoth viral success\, th
 ey’ve released three acclaimed albums\, each one distilling their indie po
 p elixir. With their new record\, the band have gone back to their roots –
  self-produced\, self-recorded\, and self-titled\, it’s the sound of peopl
 e with an incredible bond\, making the music that thrills them. Small town
  heroes who are taking on the world\, Sports credit their Tulsa upbringing
  as fostering their mindset. A world apart from the bright lights of Los A
 ngeles or New York\, the band had to work hard to make their mark. “The od
 ds of us meeting\, having the same interests\, forming a band\, and making
  it out to have a career… it’s like\, how did that happen?” Christian marv
 els.Sports struck gold first time out\, with early single ‘You Are The Rig
 ht One’ becoming a generational indie pop anthem. Nudging 180 million stre
 ams on Spotify alone\, the track has become their hallmark\, a fan favouri
 te and also an economic support structure. Now complete\, Sports’ new albu
 m is exceptional. Retaining the wicked hooks of their early work\, it also
  fully embraces maturity\, and creative independence. “It’s given us incre
 dible belief in ourselves\,” Christian says. “It’s like the last stage of 
 adulthood\, making a record by yourself.” Arriving 10 years on from their 
 breakout moment\, the Oklahoma group have found a way to be respectful to 
 their past\, while embracing the future. “It’s kind of surreal to have tha
 t number ten associated with the band\,”Christian laughs. “It’s hard to th
 ink about the weight of it… it makes me feel old\, I guess.” It all comes 
 down to the core friendship between Christian and Cale\, and the boundless
  possibilities they find within one another. “We’ve known each other since
  middle school\,” Cale reflects. “And we’re still doing it. To me\, we’re 
 just getting started.”\n\nhttps://choon.live/gigs/the-brightside-brisbane-
