It's important me as a musician and also as an occasional show goer to feel the presence of a band on stage, to hear a PA reverberating and slapping off the walls, the push and pull of an audience, the blood, sweat, and heat. It's a primal thing in a way.
Jacob BannonMusic being “good or bad” is a flawed idea. Artists make what they want to make and we either connect with it or we don't.
