Last weekend marked our 30th time to see The Lone Bellow live. If you had told either of us three years ago that this little, unknown band was going to change our lives, we would have thought you were crazy. It probably sounds a bit melodramatic, but it is, in fact, true. We’ve lost countless hours of sleep, traveled thousands of miles, planned vacations around tour schedules, and engaged in a whole lot of other shenanigans just to be able to make it to one more concert.
We know to the average person we seem crazy. We probably are crazy. But we can’t help it. Live music, and The Lone Bellow in particular, just makes us feel good. Indescribably good. More than that, though, is the sense of community we get when we are part of the audience. We have met so many people through our love of this band, and something feels really special about getting to experience shows with them over and over again.
When we started this website, we wanted a way to express our gratitude for TLB, gush over the many ways they mesmerize us, and create a space for like-minded fans who wanted to share in those things too. In short, we wanted a sort of online version of what we experience at shows.
Of course, 30 shows is a lot of shows. Not nearly enough for us, but a lot. While our love of the band and our level of crazy is apparently without limit, our ability to keep this website going and to keep writing about TLB is not. We will forever be loyal to our beloved TLB, but we have decided to take a break (at least for the foreseeable future) from adding any new material to this site. Instead, we are transitioning to a Facebook group, which we hope will allow for more interaction among fans - a place where everyone is welcome to share all things TLB related (and we will still be on Twitter, too). Thanks so much to those of you who have been following us, and please come join us in the Facebook group as we continue on this epic journey!
