Fair weather destinations are all well and good for the vacationing flock. But to locals
and even more so to the children of locals
the allure of their tiny hometowns summer shacks is certainly a little less obvious. Of course this is an assumption of sorts, but one Im willing to make after listening to the Marthas Vineyard bred band The Billionaires, and their debut Really Real For Forever ( Too Soon). For one, Really Real reeks of lyrical odes to the suffocating nature of small town boredoms and the vices they spawn. Album opener The End of Summer Song alludes to putting off the inevitable
drunken, inebriated fun in the summer sun being the suitable substitute for growing up and getting on. Admits Tim Laursen, one of the bands many singers: We have grown up together playing music but mostly being a part of a large creative group of friends, a sometimes very drunk, loving, angry, and sexy group of people. Then there is that name of theirs. Think a bunch of working class kids care for the oxford shirt/khaki pants/boat shoe enthusiasts that raid their summer colony every year? Really Real suggests not.
