DURRY!

September 9th, 2023

This is my Durry Appreciation Post ™️, and if even one lucky person discovers them through it then I have fulfilled my civic duty to this country and you’re welcome.

I found the band last winter on my favorite radio station, The Current. I heard one of their songs and thought: “Oh. I really dig this.” But it wasn’t until I heard a second, Loser’s Club, that I had to pull over my car and google that shit, because it hit me like a ton of (yellow) bricks.

I started immediately posting about them because is anything even real if you don’t? (Trick question: no, it isn’t.) I tried to get into their winter show, and couldn’t attend the summer one; but their debut album, Suburban Legend, dropped yesterday, and they played two gigs tonight to celebrate, at the legendary Electric Fetus and Down in the Valley record stores. It was euphoric to get to hang at both.

I love so much about this band, because they give you an abundance to love (like, almost too much?). There isn’t any “overnight” or “luck” aspect to what they do; as someone who knows, I can see how hard they work, how much they care, how much trial and error they must have endured before they got to this moment.

They’re artists whose talents have caught up to their taste and that is literally the highest compliment I can think of.

It couldn’t have happened to better people and I hope they become so big that by this time next year we’re already trying to cancel them. (That was a total joke and I hope they actually have the best tour ever. I have tickets to the First Ave show in December and we can’t cancel them before then.)

Anyway, check them out, pick up their extraordinary record, get a ticket to their gig. I will personally refund your money if you don’t like it (this is not a legally binding claim so just be cool you’re gonna like it).
