Brian Gorsegner, the frontman of one of my favorite bands, Night Birds, has announced that he’s retiring from music. In a statement on Facebook, he shared the following:
“I’m retiring from playing in bands. Info for a final Night Birds gig is in the works. It’s not a bad thing, it’s not a dramatic thing, it’s just something I want to do. The driving force where I NEEDED to do it through my teen years until not so long ago is simply no longer there, for better or worse. I always thought if that happened it would be time to stop. Playing music has given me the coolest opportunities and experiences I could ever have imagined. It shaped my life and taught me how I wanted to be as a person. I couldn’t be more grateful. I love all my bandmates like actual family and their support on this decision only furthers that. I truly appreciate anyone who ever checked out one of my bands, and the many folks who’ve contributed on this journey. Punk still rules, go start your own band! XO” – Brian
Night Birds are apparently getting together a final show. They leave quite a catalog of vibrant hardcore in its aftermath. Go over to Bandcamp to check out their stuff and listen to “King Kong” off Mutiny at Muscle Beach below.
