After playing over 150 shows on 4 continents during the past 15 months CHVRCHES wrapped up their outstanding tour for their sophomore album Every Open Eye last night at Echostage in Washington D.C. Although we don’t know when we will see them again, fans worldwide on social media shared their cherished memories and sent the band off with many thanks and good wishes. The band returned those same heart felt sentiments to their fans.

Two nights ago, CHVRCHES played a secret show at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago for Spotify employees. A few handfuls of lucky FANCLVB members including myself also received invites to this special performance. I spoke with several Spotify employees, many of whom were not familiar with the band but based on their reactions throughout and afterwards CHVRCHES picked up quite a few new fans from this evening.

Although the photos from my phone in the gallery above are far from good quality you can still get an idea of the excitement from this show. Thank you again for the invite CHVRCHES. You certainly made my week.
