I want to hear the story!!! I fucking love that band!!!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

The bar we used to hang out at was near a local recording studio.

Tea party were recording and would go to the bar for drinks.

I recognised the singer and introduced myself and my mates. He was super nice and thrilled that we knew who he was. My mates were musicians and he would talk shop with them.

The other guitarist/bassist was chill and would talk hockey and movies. The drummer wanted nothing to do with us and just sat on the side drinkinig.

At one point I went to the toilets and heard a loud snort. Two band members exited a stall, saw me, laughed and offered me a line.

I accepted, as one should.

Went back and kept chatting.

We probably ran into them 3-4 times in a span of a month and they remembered us each time.

Few months later they were shooting a video at my uni and had no idea who we were, but we're still nice.
