Ritual Lament

by Vanguard Party

This story starts at the end...

Each song represents a different part of our lives: from questioning the status quo, to celebrating the possibilities of life, to mourning the ineviability of death.

Post-show #pacman at @thepourhouse
A friend of mine told me yesterday that they don't go to see much live music because you don't see music you listen to it. But then once you are there, the energy of the people around you is infectious and kind of like a natural high. This is so true. And the shows where I as a performer can feel that energy I lose myself in the sound and the lights and the collective energy. Its a one-of-a-kind experience. So many times after our performances people come to up to the stage to shake my hand and tell me how the show made them feel. Its one of the rare times I can be drenched in sweat and be okay with it. We will be doing this again thursday night at @thepourhouse in #raleigh Come feel that energy with us. Last time we played the Local Band Local Beer event it was super cray! #music #rockmusic #musicscene #durhammusic #durhamrocks #durham #raleighrocks #thingstodoinraleigh #band #rockband #guitarmusic #dowhatyoulove #livemusic #live #tour #show #performance #localmusic #listen #rocknroll #nowlistening #wearevanguardparty
