Braid - The Right Time
I doubt you know who Braid is. If you do you either 1) grew up in Illinois and like great music or 2) you were one of those damn emo kids I made fun of in the late 90s (even though I like a lot of “emo” music - I hate labels).
Braid was from Urbana, Illinois which is home to the University of Illinois. Not that is relevant to this post. I spent some time in Champaign-Urbana in my college years and always had a good time there (too good of a time if you know what I mean…) Braid broke up in 1999 which was unfortunate. I as lucky enough to see them in DeKalb, IL once. Someone caught it on video and now it’s on Youtube, which I think is cool to see. There were no more than 30 of us at the show (okay there were probably more) and it was at a record store named “7 dead arson” which incidentally was owned by Denis Hastert’s kid. Yeah, that Denny Hastert. Crazy, eh?
Once again, I digress, and of course, no one truly “breaks up” anymore so they are back. They still sound fantastic. Welcome back guys.
