I'm A Kid Again
If you didn’t already know by now, perhaps you should.My friends from childhood, Ben Schurr and Ross Lipton, are in br’er.
And this band, br’er, is playing with the infamous Xiu Xiu tonight at the Church.
It’s kind of funny to know your childhood friends still. And to see their success, along with all of their “failures” along the way. It’s a surreal experience really. Much like listening to their songs. And so, growing up with these kids, it is nice to see how that music sounds today at this present moment in our twenties.
The fact that Xiu Xiu is a huge influence and inspiration to Ben in particular is truly amazing in itself. One day when he says, “Check out this band”, next day he’s opening for them. So, somewhere in sadness, it’s important to count your blessings. No matter what you’re doing.
Not to neglect the other members:
I love Luis’ energy. I love Christian’s distance (not to mention dissonance). I love Darian’s quiet demeanor yet glue for the band. I love Roger’s operatic voice. I love all of you. Good luck tonight.
