![We Are The City - Heavy As A Brick (Drum Cover)
I actually have a story behind my decision to do this cover. Heres the story as I wrote it on my personal Facebook:
Last night, I went and saw one of my favorite bands in the world, We Are The City, with my girlfriend Cassia. It was a fantastic show and they almost outdid their show they did 3 years ago at the Park Theatre (almost, not quite).
One of my big goals of the night was to go and get all three vinyls they were selling at their merch table. The High School EP (the first thing I had ever heard by them), their album Violent (my favorite record of the year it originally came out, 2013) and their new album Above Club (which is also awesome). So, as soon as they finished their show, I headed straight to the merch table in the back to get my vinyl on.
They were actually running the table themselves and while in line, me and Cassia bumped into Cayne, their lead singer, who was digging around in boxes looking for t-shirts and had a quick exchange of words (which was cool for me, in itself). But, I didnt expect what would happen when I got to the front of the line.
The other two members of the group, David and Andy (the guitarist and drummer, respectively), were behind the table taking orders when I got to the front of the line. David was just getting money from another guy who was paying for his t-shirt and putting it in their cash box, and then raised his head to look at me. He kinda stopped for a half second, as if something clicked in his brain that had to register something that had happened.
He then said, Hey, man!, not as if I was any other guy, but as if I was a friend or someone he knew.
I awkwardly said hey back, but wondered for a split-second does he just talk to everyone like that, or was that something else?
Then, Andy turned toward me and, with a smile spreading across his face (which was still sweaty from the show he had just played), said Hey Joe!
I was taken a back by this. How did he know who I was? Im not well-known in the music industry or anything. I then, neck deep in a wave of surprise, said back to him YOU KNOW ME?
He then went on to explain that he had seen the drum covers I had done of some of their stuff and said that he loved the way I played. He asked me about the drum kit I used and told me a story I had never heard him tell before in interviews. He was so down to earth and genuine with me, it felt like a conversation I would have with any of my other musician friends. I then asked for the vinyl and after receiving it, talked with him about vinyl records and the old copy I had won in a contest 2 1/2 years, which was (because of me not taking care of it) warped to crap. We talked for a little bit more and then said a quick goodbye so he could keep helping people who were in line (also, Cassia talked to David for a little bit, which was funny and cool, because the first thing she said when she saw one of their music videos was [Davids] attractive).
I suddenly felt something that I had never truly felt in my entire life up until that day.
Validation.
I had practiced and given so much time towards WATC and their music and knowing every part of every song they had ever put out and singing their songs in the car and learning their songs on drums (which is incredibly hard to do). And in that moment, Andrew Huculiak made me feel like it was worth it. That he appreciated it. And even liked it! And thats the best thing, as a fan, that you can ever hope for.
I also realized why I love indie music and indie music scenes in general. They actually care about you. They love it when someone likes their music so much as to even try to do a cover of it, never mind doing it well. It brings a sense of community to it, that its not just paying money to see a band play that doesnt even care about you. It brings a sense of closeness that I love, and this expierence just enhances it. Not to mention that I can know that my efforts arent going unseen. People care about this stuff. And they like it.
Anyways, thats my story. Hope you enjoyed reading it. Cant wait for the next record guys. I also wanna see your movie! I have waited so long!
