AN ANNUAL BAND WITH JIM STRONG

FROM PENNSYLVANIA

I have known Jim Strong  since 2004 or longer—we grew up playing in rival punk rock bands in Pennsylvania. We collaborated on many, many projects since the early days: from sharing bills on tour with our ancient bands dandelion fiction and wrinkle, to our power trio with Jordan Burgis, and for almost a decade between 2008 and 2016, just getting high off each other’s fumes. Jim is a fellow instrument builder among many other things.

It’s interesting how different people come in and out of your life, some friendships burn brightly for a year and then disappear entirely, others recur periodically, cresting regularly with long periods of silence in between.

Jim and I began to realize that after 2015, we had begun to collaborate at least once a year, just by chance. So, in 2017 we decided to began to think about this deliberately. We began a tradition to affirm the longevity of our friendship—to perform publicly at least once every year until we perish.
