Nice photo and shoutout via the site of the wonderful Ben Lee.
The Long Winters (www.thelongwinters.com) are one of my favourite things about the world. Amazing amazing. Nada Surf turned me on to them, and I'm making it my mission to turn YOU on to them. Buy 'When I Pretend to Fall' you WILL not be sad about it.
This Lara chick also plays keys with Nada Surf on occation, if I'm not mistaken.
What's weird is that I just saw the three of them perform in the Knitting Factory main space the other night. I was there to see friends and Ben Lee & Co. just happened to be headlining. Lara came over pre-set and my (bartender) friends plied her with drinks because she was so nervous. It was quite cute. I wish I'd realized that we'd have, like, stuff to talk about.
