Abilene – Runaway Dorothy

“The record you didn’t know you needed is what I am listening to in the other room.”

There are a few bands I discovered on Twitter that I likely would never have found. Runaway Dorothy is one and this is a great song from their first album The Arc. I don’t remember exactly how it happened but I ended up chatting occasionally with their singer / songwriter Dave Parnell. They did a kickstarter for the second album The Wait which was finally released in 2014, and then they promptly disappeared. Dave became Butch Parnell and I see occasional posts hinting at new music but, well, 11 years is a long time.
Twitter used to be a great place to discover and connect with these smaller bands who put out some great records. I miss it and will never forgive Elon for fucking it up so badly.
