PUP is wrapping up their HUGE first Australian headlining tour, selling out Sydney, Brisbane and both Melbourne shows as part of their 100 day tour across the globe supporting their latest album, The Dream Is Over. They took time out of their crazy touring schedule to stop by triple j to perform their own take on Phantogram’s current hit “You Don’t Get Me High Anymore” on Like A Version this morning.
“The Dream Is Over.” They’re the exact words a doctor spoke to Babcock upon discovering his vocal chords had suffered “pretty aggressive hemorrhaging.” Given that the band played over 450 shows in the last two years in support of its self-titled debut, it’s perhaps not surprising that it happened. But by announcing The Dream Is Over the way they did – onstage at a sold-out show in Brooklyn – PUP proved that the exact opposite is true. The Dream Is Over is visible, visceral proof that the dream is still very much alive.
