Year 3, Day 276

Hi. So today's song is Tigers by The Submarines.


This time we've got another American indie rock band, but they're from LA. This band is kind of weird in the sense that there are official members and unofficial members. So the official members are John Dragonetti and Blake Hazard who met each other through a friend when they were living in Boston. They decided to work together, and even dated for four years before moving to LA. They broke up, wrote songs separately, then like a cheesy romantic movie, they realized their songs were about each other and how sad they were without each other. So they got back together. They wrote some new songs together, and had them remastered as a wedding present. These songs would go on to be their first album released in 2006. Before they got together they both had solo stuff so you can check that out if you're bored. Now on to the unofficial members: the touring band. Jason Stare and Scott Barber sometimes play with the others when they go on tour. This started happening after the second album when Jason came along to play drums. Scott joined them in 2011 to play bass, and now the two of them have their own side project together. It's like perfect, strange synergy. I found it interesting, so I figured you might too.

Peace.
