WISH YOU WERE BACK HERE FOREVER is a new photo book release celebrating a collection of photographs I made between 1992 and 2004.Arriving as a new photography student at the University of Nebraska in 1992, I was swept up in the local indie rock music scene. All at once I discovered the best music was right downstairs in the basements of the cheap rental houses we all lived in. These rooms became the backdrop to meeting the best friends I have ever known, and fertile stomping grounds to explore my new photography skills.In one sense, the is a historical document. The photos show a timeline of young musicians forging their sound and futures. From dorky kids in basements growing into the bands we know and love. You’ll recognize many of your favorite musicians in lineups that sometimes lasted a song or two. Is that TIM KASHER playing mandolin in LULLABY?It’s also a warm and fuzzy nostalgia trip; not just for those fans of BRIGHT EYES, The FAINT, or CURSIVE, but any fan of youth, music, and sweaty basement shows. Look at how young we all are. Was it that long ago? How many of you saw CAP N’ JAZZ in a tiny basement with 50 of your best friends? The genius of WESLEY WILLIS?!At its heart, this book is a family album. Finally dusting off the old negatives and sharing these moments with those who were in the room. I love these people with all of my heart. They have become my lifelong friends. I cannot believe we all achieved much of what we dreamed of back then. I wish that you were back (t)here forever.
