I grew up in MA as well, on the MA/NH border, and I've always felt an affinity for the Granite State (hell, I even got married there--in Portsmouth).

I'm sure being a home-state band explains the reaction of the audience that night, but when I saw them in Philly a year or so ago, I found the audience a lot less "indie rock" than I thought it would be. It was not unlike the shock and confusion I felt one time in college when I saw Bob Mould and the audience was frattastic.<BR/><BR/>(Oh, and just so you're not completely confused why some random chick is commenting here, I'm a friend of Molly's and Toby's.)heathalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441679449035022521noreply@blogger.com
