The Cab returns to Boston, “Look at who, look at who’s back from the dead.”

For a band that felt the need to take a jab at themselves mid-set for not playing Boston “since the time dinosaurs roamed the earth,” The Cab certainly did not seem to indicate being out of practice in the slightest during their infectiously confident performance at Royale on 6/30/26. Vibrant lights, sing-a-long sensibilities, and tight danceable musicianship were the name of the game for the night, reminding a captivated audience why the band was so missed as a touring act all these years. If anything could even be suggested as a detractor from the evening, it would be the consideration that The Cab’s music would be even better suited on a larger stage to compliment the band’s huge pop-centric energy, which was made even more apparent by the blending of fan favorites like “Bounce”, “Stand Up” and “Intoxicated” with renditions of turn-of-the-century hits from N’SYNC, Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears. Nevertheless, The Cab seemed to be having the time of their lives as their Back From The Dead tour came to an electrifying close on the final night of the tour. Now that they’re officially back, let’s certainly hope it does not take another decade plus for them to bring the show back to the Bay State.
