After dropping several different emo videos i've gotten a lot of DM's and comments wondering if I had "a phase."
Yes. I 100% did.
Not only did I have a phase, I was also in a band and for about 2 years of my life, it was my entire focus. We were called "Post Moritz" and we were sort of a mix between pop punk and emo depending on which one of us wrote the song.
I played bass and by 'played bass' I mean our guitarist showed me what to play. I was not a great musician but I was a great performer.... I could do a bass toss around my head as good as anyone and I was always down to jump off the top of my amp and if I was lucky, i'd land on beat...
Being in a band taught me so much about life though. Juggling everyone's schedules to book shows, design merch, write songs, practice songs, saving all our money to record our CD and or course learning to work together and collaborate. Also the awful feeling of having to kick someone out of the band and eventually breaking up entirely. So many life lessons made over just trying to play music.
My son Theo is now in School of Rock and is learning the keys. Lucky for him, he inherited his mom's musical talent instead of mine BUT he also got my hair, so best of both worlds!
His best friend plays drums in their band with him, and they came home from practice yesterday just pumped that they learned AC?DC's TNT. I'm so pumped to support them in this knowing all the lessons it will bring and can't wait to hear them rocking out in the basement.
Also.... IT's NOT A PHASE! 🤘
