When I was getting my undergrad, Brian was part of a group that all of my friends and I admired called For All the Drifters. There was something comforting about the music in how different it was. However, the band went its separate ways, and some of the members moved on to create two other groups: Paper Route and Brian Lee and His Orchestra. It has been years since For All the Drifters have played together. That is, until recently. A friend recently invited me to a show where Brian Lee orchestra included and Paper Route were playing a show together… as in, they were playing at the same venue.
Nonetheless, it was a treat to hear one of my favorite bands dissected into two very distinct sounds, both of which I loved. Paper Route was one part electronica with keyboards, loops, and synths and one part powerhouse rock with lots of harmonized vocals, plenty of distortion, and feedback the good kind. Lee was stripped down with a simple four-piece that consisted of little more than a trap set, his clean, slightly over-driven Telecaster, and soulful, growling melodies.
That got me thinking. I wanted to know what was behind all those bluesy riffs and heartfelt, almost painful, lyrics. There was a depth in it that needed to be explored.
Shortly after the show, I had the chance to interview Brian Lee. What transpired went a little something like this:. Can you share why music is important to you and what playing it does for you? It seems to have a really strong hold on me. I think of myself as very balanced person, but I still find myself not sleeping at night, playing a new song over and over in my head.
I think about it all the time. There is also the spontaneous side of music that I love. I think that is why musicians are willing to make such huge sacrifices.
