I was so young. And so very earnest.
On the day Necktie Second was released, a local Portland news crew tagged along as my band and I rehearsed in my basement and visited Music Millennium to pick up a copy.
Now you can pick up your copy of the 2xLP deluxe reissue at petedroge.bandcamp.com

I filmed this 4-track cassette version of Fade Away Blue’s “Fading Fast” a while back, but wanted to save it until the record was out. Having just returned from dates on the East Coast, now feels like a great time to share this song about life on the road.
