Add this to the list of "great story!" replies. I can't believe it was just last year that I saw SSPU open up for Viva Voce at Iota--and it wasn't even sold out! I never heard their music before but their set blew me away. It's good to hear they're such cool people.
Cool isn't the word, fam. We were just breaking bread like they've known me forever. (Brian and I had a funny ass convo about "indie being the new black", then he made an argument that "black is always gonna be the new black". I got a kick outta that shit for obvious reasons.
McRae, their tour manager, & Dave, their guitar tech, were showing me a lot of love as well. Real cool cats right there.) At no point did I ever feel like some hanger-on to some rock stars. I can't wait until they come back to D.C., and I plan on making it my personal mission to make it happen. I'll drop the band a line & give them the link to this thread. Maybe they'll post something or at least look at the thread, so we'll see. I'll keep y'all posted.
