The National
Schubas has enjoyed the pleasure of hosting Ohioans The National 5 times. We first met them on July 8, 2001, shortly after they left dot-com jobs in New York to pursue the band. They first visited in support of their debut, self-titled album, the first in a streak of critically acclaimed recordings, including three albums and two EPs, the most recent among which have been released on Beggars Banquet Records. Their first record with Beggars Banquet, Alligator, was called "album of the year" by the Los Angeles Times and the band's "first masterpiece" by Uncut magazine. The band has continued to gain steam and garner praise for their music live and on record in equal measure, and Schubas is proud to say we knew them when.
