“When you’re going to these shows it’s home.” ❤️‍🔥 Having a place like this is so important to a lot of people right now. One of my favorite bands, Nana Grizol, has lyrical themes about building your own family with the people you choose to associate with and that has shaped the way I think about music and life in general. Also there is a lyric in the Rancid song “Journey to the End of the East Bay”, about Operation Ivy:

“All these bands and

All these people

All these friends and

We were equals”

that sums up the vibe of DIY music for me; everyone coming together as equals to make a great environment.
