The 1975 Just Played With an Orchestra and Dropped Hints at New Material

You are good Matthew Healy, very good.

The 1975

Just in case you do not follow myself on social media or you are not a fan of the band, The 1975 just had a unique and beautiful performance over the weekend.

They were invited to play with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra in London on Friday, September 30th. This performance has been one that the band along with the orchestra, has been rehearsing for months on end to prepare for. They brought along their new unique sound from the new album they have been promoting this past year and will continue touring into 2017, I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful, Yet So Unaware of It. The set was broadcasted worldwide from BBC's website.

This show contained stage visuals and new additions to the set list that fans might not have been able to see live yet. The pairing of the orchestra and the band was spectacular. Lead singer of the band, Matty Healy was emotional before and during the show telling BBC radio, "I was crying today, at times. It’s the first time I've wanted to do another run through of a soundcheck. It was incredible."

The 1975 also covered One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" and Justin Bieber's "Sorry." These are both songs that Healy and Co. have covered live before, but this performance was 100 times more intense and emotional.

The band has received many phenomenal reviews and praise from the show, even from previous critics of theirs. It is much deserved especially after being nominated for the Mercury Prize Award for the best album of 2016 in their home of Great Britain.

2016 has been a great year for the group in means of numbers, success and transition. 2017, as Healy has just announced via twitter, will have new material and much more to follow.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
