indie folk revolution.
indie folk revolution, from Gainesville, FL.
redboy is an assortment of like-minded musicians that come together in various combinations to rock out. sometimes it's just M.C. by herself, sometimes it's everyone making beautiful noise together.
redboy is a created category, a claimed identity where no positive identity was readily provided. if you are reading this, you might be a redboy too. red because we're guilty, and we can't conceal it. boy because we're not, and we won't become it. guilty of not being boys, of living in a world designed for someone else's success. that's our scarlet letter. what's yours?
redboy is where you go when society begins to whisper in your ear. it will tell you that your unorthodox face cannot be hidden, they will pin the triangle through your sleeve and into your skin, they will tell you that conformity is freedom and freedom is your priviledge and not your right. you are an un-ideal. perhaps you are the antithesis of the ideal, since you are conscious that you do not belong in the traditional, socially intelligible boxes, and yet continue to exist in spite of the discord you encounter when your life is measured against the expectations of Others.
you have always had the freedom to reject the idea of categorization. in fact, you may have been doing it all along. redboy is a box with no sides, no top. only a bottom, a base of support, a loving step from which to leap. we create our own space, instead of allowing others to assign/identify our boundaries. we self-identify, while questioning the need for identification.
we say it because it is not said. we have faith.
