Influences: one night i went to the paramount theater in seattle to see my favorite band play. they went onstage and started the intro to their first song, but the lead singer was still off to the side of the stage, and all i could see was the burning embers of his cigarette. and just as they got to the first big moment, he threw his cigarette down and somebody handed him his guitar, and he flew in from the shadows and landed on the first crash of cymbals in a mess of hair and sound and hope... and that’s when it started.
