The prolific young band released its first EP, Kitchen Songs, in 2011 followed by Telephone, its debut full-length, the following year. The Districts' second EP, the more acoustic-leaning While You Were in Honesdale, was released in late 2012 and the band continued to perform regionally.

The group formed in 2009 while members Rob Grote, Mark Larson, Connor Jacobus, and Braden Lawrence were all still in high school. The prolific young band released its first EP, Kitchen Songs, in 2011 followed by Telephone, its debut full-length, the following year. The Districts' second EP, the more acoustic-leaning While You Were in Honesdale, was released in late 2012 and the band continued to perform regionally. Their mix of jangly indie Americana and blues-inspired rock caught the attention of Mississippi's Fat Possum Records, which signed the Districts in 2013. In January 2014 Fat Possum issued the band's self-titled third EP, which contained three remastered songs from the Telephone album along with two newly recorded tracks. Just over a year later, the Districts returned with their second album, A Flourish and a Spoil, which marked the debut of guitarist Pat Cassidy — Larson opted to go to college — and was produced by John Congleton.

The Districts Lyrics
Sunshine stretching like valley riverbeds,
They call my name from down the hall.
And if I would leave would you go with me?
Would you lay me down to get my sleep?
I don't know if I use my head the right way,
But then again who's to say that I'm wrong?
I'm sick of this longing but I feel to dull, when it's gone.
Living lives in two places wears my soul too thin,
I was walking from the station just to meet you in the morning,
I believe in dawned on me, I don't know where I began,
I was walking from the station just to meet you.
I ain't the same anymore, I ain't the same from before,
You've gone and changed I'm sure, I'm trying to find the right words.
I ain't the same anymore, you've gone and changed I'm sure,
You've gone and changed from before and I'm trying to find the right words,
It's the difference between us worth a thousand diamond rings.
Sunshine, I believe we're headed the right way,
But then again I can't quite tell for sure.
‘Cause we're running to the west to let our hands touch down,
Where you left me in the dark so long before.
Walking, street posts lying like daylight,
But I know it won't be light here for much more,
So I'm stalling and I'm frightened and I'm sinking down to the floor.
Living lives in two places wears my soul too thin,
I was walking from the station just to meet you in the morning,
I believe in dawned on me, I don't know where I began,
I was walking from the station just to meet you.
I ain't the same anymore, I ain't the same from before,
You've gone and changed I'm sure, I'm trying to find the right words.
I ain't the same anymore, you've gone and changed I'm sure,
You've gone and changed from before and I'm trying to find the right words,
It's the difference between us worth a thousand diamond rings.

The one thing I love to do more than anything on my birthday is catch a great rock concert. I will turn 61 on October 16th, and I still love alt/indie rock as much as I did when it first burst onto the music scene in the mid/late 70s when I was still in my 20s. I am sampling these guys' music on iTunes and so far, I think I really like what I'm hearing. They are playing here in San Diego on the 16th and tickets are cheap. I think I should go. Age is only a number, by the way. Rock & roll is a bridge gapper, and keeps aging rockers like us feeling young and from the confines of wheelchairs, dementia & nursing homes.

This is one of the best songs I know. The entire song feels like a huge build up, but still has it's highs and lows. Not many great songs do this sadly, at least not any to my knowledge.
