Broke by tim was here
For Dylan.
This EP is just a taste of what we had in tunes to come. At the end of the spring, Dylan told us he had made it into grad school in Seatle. While excited for our friend, I was bummed that our Brillant bass player was leaving us. So we set a goal for the time we had left. We were going to finish recording the record we had started writing last year when Dylan had joined the band. After doing demos in late April, we had finally gotten into the Analog Time Machine in June. It was a muggy, rainy day. I kept on doing vocal warm-ups by doing a David Lee Roth impression. We goofed around, rocked out, and after a long day of recording, we had these songs. We listened over and over to them. Dylan declared Tim- "the best band since 'Lee Roth-Van Halen'". We played a show a few weeks later that was so electric, dynamic, and fun. Dylan had said that it was "Best show He'd ever played" (Me too Dyl).
We had planned to finish the record the first week of August, but alas the universe had different plans for us.
There are often times when you play in a band, where you can lose your "self" and become 'one'( and By 'one' I don't mean so crazy mega fusion). We are no longer Trevor, Will, Danny, and Dylan. We're tim, the kickass band, playing kickass music.
Losing Dylan has felt losing a limb of the band. We miss our friend every day and it's been hard to live with the fact that he's really gone.
The way that we can honor Dylan is to share these songs with you. He wanted them to be heard. He wanted tim to continue on no matter if he was going to be here or not.
But It's been so hard to be tim without him. We love you Dylan.
Thanks for reading, thanks for listening.
-Trevor.
