When I think about 1997, I think about The Promise Ring.
No, I never saw them live. No, I probably never drove long nights listening to them.
BUT.
I think I spent hours in my room listening to these albums. It was a very time and place band for me. Nothing Feels Good got constant play in my dorm room. Must have been good for those melancholy afternoons.
Maybe I’m not missing much on the live show front. That’s fine by me. I’ve got Kitty Pryde, and Nightcrawler too … yeah, I mixed bands. You know what I’m saying.
