The Story
A memory behind the music
This band fits in the same category as Minus the Bear. Something I listened to a lot during my Jr. College Days. Especially in the summer right after moving back from San Diego and in Simi Valley right before UCLA started. It was a hot dry summer, something like 35 degrees but thankfully zero humidity, since its a desert and all. And I wasn't totally 100% homeless, sure I wasn't moving back in with my parents, they were divorced, but I was moving in with my old manager, kevin Baird, and into his old family home that he'd bought from his parents. And his best friend, Matt who was sort of like a co-manager of mine at one point, was also living there. And what was I doing for money that summer? I was working at Safeway bagging groceries and pushing shopping carts around. And sometimes crushing boxes. It wasn't glorious or amazing and it barely kept me fed, but it was enough to enjoy a song like this.
