The band’s frontman Max Bemis announced the tour on social media, adding that they will play ‘…Is a Real Boy’ in full at every show.

Say Anything were formed in Los Angeles in 2000 and released their debut album, ‘Baseball’, the following year. ‘…Is a Real Boy’ first came out in August 2004 on Doghouse Records.

Bemis’ health issues, including bipolar disorder and drug addictions, led to the band briefly disbanding in 2005. They reformed and signed with J Records, and re-released the album in 2006.

Say Anything went on hiatus in 2018 after the release of ‘Oliver Appropriate’, which was a purported sequel to ‘…Is a Real Boy’.

In October 2022, Bemis announced that the band had reunited and earlier this year, they played at When We Were Young Festival.
