So a few months ago, we signed my favorite band in the whole wide world (no joke) — Norma Jean.
In all seriousness, their music has played a HUGE part in my life through very difficult times.
But back to the rocking. The first NJ jam I heard was “Memphis Will Be Laid to Waste,” from the debut album Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child. Most (but not me) say it’s their best song (so far), but regardless it’s the one that got me hooked on the band from the get-go. Singer Cory Brandon put it well at their last show when he said,
We’ve never not played this song! Rrrrrrrr………
I know, right? Amazing.
I got to fly down to Atlanta in October to hang out with my favorite band for a whole day. YEAH. I hardly slept the night before, and it was quite difficult to be the slynam from their new label and not the slynam who absolutely loves their music. But of course, I did the latter most of the time anyway.
In December, NJ came to NY to play at the Blender Theatre. The gf was able to take some really great flip cam footage, check it all out below.
Easily the best show of my life thus far. But I’ve got many more Norma Jean shows to attend…
