About

Car Seat Headrest's bold new rock opera The Scholars isn't just a new chapter for the premiere standard bearers of young internet rockers. It's a spiritual rebirth, and one that didn't come easily.

In May of 2020, Car Seat Headrest (frontman Will Toledo, lead guitarist Ethan Ives, drummer Andrew Katz, and bassist Seth Dalby) released their album Making a Door Less Open, right as the world shut down. This led to a long period of enforced inactivity. When they were finally able to tour in 2022 they were delighted that their audience was now younger than ever, thanks a new generation discovering their coming-of-age classics Teens of Denial and Twin Fantasy

However, the band was soon sidelined again, this time due to illness. This hiatus resulted in a sustained period of contemplation and reflection for Toledo, which ultimately shaped The Scholars.

Inspired by an apocryphal poem by "Archbishop Guillermo Guadalupe del Toledo," and featuring character designs from Toledo's friend, the cartoonist Cate Wurtz, the album focuses on the yearning and spiritual crisis of the titular Scholars. They range from the doubt-filled playwright Beolco to Devereaux, a person born to religious conservatives who finds themselves desperate for higher guidance. Meanwhile, the music draws, carefully, from classic rock story song cycles such as The Who's Tommy and David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

Self-produced by Toledo, the band have never sounded more fully realized or assured of themselves. And while Car Seat Headrest started as Toledo's solo project, it is now fully a band. "It didn't really feel to me like things got in sync in an inner feeling way until this record, with that internal communal energy," he explains. "That's been a big journey."

    I don’t have much to compare it to since it was my first concert but it definitely was the best first concert. The vibe and the set list were amazing , i loved the lighting affects and everyone singing along. It was all around a very amazing experience!

  • Great time!

    Sadly cringe. I loved their early work but will toledo makes the show a whole geek Rick opera in the worst of ways, could not differentiate any songs chorus from one another - bright side it’s great for kids -! I saw lots of parents and tweens bopping but if you’re looking for teens of style be ready for some teens of denial (album reference**) 1/5 sorry will but I never walked out on a last song until you :(

  • Great show. This band is amazing.

    Got there at 9, grabbed two beers and headed to the second closest level. Best standing was not available due to VIP...booo!. Started at 9:30 and the band killed it. Awesome theatrics and lightship, and th best guitarist I've seen in years. Go see Car Seat ASAP.

  • Waited 2 Years

    Had a ticket to see one of my favorite bands of all time in 2020 but due to covid, i don't need to explain what happened. Despite a short setlist, I still loved the show but I wish they played a couple more fan favorites like Cant Cool Me Down and 1937 State Park. No Encore was a bummer but I understand that Will's health was taking a toll on him. Overall, I had a fun night and I should have paid attention when buying my ticket because I got a balcony seat and not the general floor.

  • awesome!!!

    We really enjoyed the concert! CSH was fantastic on stage, great sound, great light show. The Paramount Theater did an excellent job with getting people in, serving drinks etc.

  • So good

    Honestly exceeded my expectations…. Light show was amazing and Will Toledo’s voice is just angelic. Only thing I’d recommend is turning mics up because it was hard to hear the performers when they talked to the crowd.
