Fever 333: New West Order Tour Stop at SOMA San Diego

I think some of us are all still recovering from Warped Tour, mentally, physically, and for some of us who had a little too much fun, financially. But you know who’s still got the energy of a bull after playing 2 WT's and side shows? Fever 333. There’s no stopping them. Whether you caught them at Warped, at the Befores, or on their very own New West Order Tour, their set brings the same fire every single time. There’s no dimming the light in this band, and here’s what went down at their San Diego stop at SOMA.

Before diving into Fever’s set, I caught the latter half of Fire From The Gods, and I was completely blown away. Literal stars in my eyes from how good they sounded. Myke Terry… man, those vocals are still ringing in my ears. I’ve never seen them live before, and instantly I hopped on my phone to add them to my playlist. They gave a good warm up for those of us who came later in the night.

By the time Fever hit the stage, my friend and I were hyped. It was our third time seeing them in just two weeks, and we knew what was coming: an all-out powerful performance. They opened with “Bite Back” and had the crowd locked in immediately.

The turnout was noticeably small—though, fair enough, it was a Sunday night. But Fever had just come off packed crowds at Warped and the Befores, and the contrast didn’t affect a single thing.

What I love about Fever is that no matter the venue or the crowd, nothing about their energy changes. Jason was a damn fireball as usual, and the rest of the band (Brandon Davis, April Kae, Thomas Pridgen) poured their souls into every second of the set. While I was hoping for a livelier pit, at least everyone was up, moving, and engaged with the music.

If you know Fever, you know their music carries a powerful, politically charged message—something that resonates deeply with their fans. Jason took a moment mid-set to speak about justice and change:

“… We’ve got to do more than just say it in this room. We can leave this room and even if you don't say it to them in their face, then it's by way of action, It's by way of finding and making sure that others around you can also get the education that you had. You just staying in your contempt can turn into education so we can actually make the change. We have to say it outside of this room. That's the one thing I have to say is we have to take this **** outside of these venues and have the conversations even when it's difficult…”

After the speech, the crowd applauded with nods of agreement, and the band came back in even hotter. At one point, probably while I was distracted by April’s electrifying stage presence, Jason somehow ended up singing Hunting Season from the windows above the crowd in the back of the venue. Classic.

Jason’s stage antics are something fans always look forward to. At Warped Tour DC, he climbed a tower. At Warped LB, he dragged a gate on stage and jumped over it. At the Befores, he was literally hanging off a balcony. There’s even more history of previous stage extracurriculars but you get the gist. Fever doesn’t just perform, they innovate.

The night wrapped with nothing but raw, untamed energy delivered straight to the small but devoted San Diego crowd. Compared to the chaos of their other recent shows, this one felt incredibly personal. No crowd surfers. No elbows to the face. Just focused intensity, up close. Honestly, it felt like a gift and a totally different experience.

If you haven’t seen Fever 333 live yet, now’s your chance. They're heading to Colorado next, with their first stop in Denver on August 5th. Catch them while you can! <333
