Julian Tepper (The Natural History) Community Matters + For the Record
-
- Music
Julian Tepper was the bass player in an overlooked band called The Natural History. The band toured around the country in the early oughts and almost made it big. But the band broke up right before the release of their second LP, The People that I Meet, the record that was supposed to (and eventually did) include the original, widely acclaimed song, "Don't You Ever" (made famous by Spoon).
Julian ended up trading music for writing and recently published his third novel, Between the Records, which, among other things, fictionalizes the making of The People That I Meet. In our conversation, we chat about how a songwriting community led to Julian rediscovering his love for music. We also discuss the The Natural History's ongoing relationship with Spoon and what music community looks like in the time of COVID-19.
