The Nile Theater hosted the alternative rock concert featuring The Red Pears, Together Pangea, and The High Curbs last week.

The Red Pears and Together Pangea’s tour, “Hard Days Were Harder at the Time” landed in Mesa at The Nile Theater. 

Phoenix based band Practically People worked with the bands during the event to ensure peak performance.

The High Curbs set the stage as the opening act with lead singer Eduardo dedicating their performance to Little Ceasars pizza for feeding them through hard times. They opened with an unreleased song from their upcoming album “CRASH OUT SEASON”.

Moving into “A.0.M.M” and “Want” led the crowd to form mosh pits, cheering and dancing. 

As part of their set The High Curbs also performed their joint song with The Red Pears “Promise” as The Red Pears lead singer Henry Vargas made his first appearance on stage. 

Together Pangea got on stage next performing “Make Myself True”, “Money on It” and “Sick Shit”.

Including a brief cover performance of “Zombie” by the Cranberries between songs. 

Pangea’s set started the recurring trend of crowd surfing that lasted the rest of the show. 

Crowd surfers came from all directions—most making it to the stage—and some jumping back into the crowd from the stage.

Once Together Pangea’s set was done the crowd began cheering “one more song” to try and get the performers back on stage. 

While waiting for The Red Pears to come on stage one fan told Northeast Valley News, she was “hoping for them to play “Dreams” and “Away.”

Other fans in the crowd talked about an “amazing performance” from the duo set. 

The Red Pears took the stage as the last set of the night with their five minute five-minute song “Polar Chimps/T.R.P”. 

They had the longest set of the night and performed many of their hit songs. Including “Flowers”, “Forever”, and “Hello-Sin-Nation”.

The crowd got a bit wild as everyone tried to make their way closest to the stage to cheer for the band.

One fan, Tossi-Masso Molina and his father were in the crowd holding their custom beadwork necklaces for The Red Pears donning their logo. 

Molina was seen handing his bead work necklace off from the crowd to Henry Vargas who held it up on stage—he chose not to keep it as it was not meant for him. 

Once The Red Pears began to make their way off stage the crowd began chanting “one more song” which led them back on stage for another encore.

They performed— “Not in the Cards” and their most well-known song “Daylight/Moonlight” to close out the show. 

After the show Tossi-Masso Molina told Northeast Valley News that he in fact knew The Red Pears, specifically their drummer Jose Corona.

Molina said, “Artists like The Red Pears and other artists—I like their music, so I like to make something for them.”

The show went on for more than three hours.

Fans rushed back to the stage as The Red Pears stayed on stage to greet fans and allow some photos with them.
