Indulging in a little nostalgia about living in New York in the early days of the band, pre Alligator…. Our 9th LP FIRST TWO PAGES OF FRANKENSTEIN is out today. So grateful to everyone involved in making this beautiful collection of songs come to life — especially my bandmates and our amazing crew. Can’t wait to play these songs live!!!!!!!💙💙💚💙💙
The National family has lost a true friend of the band. Superfan Kelly Lynch passed away over the weekend.
Kelly could often be seen in the front row of our shows, which explains her Instagram handle @toolowfrontrow . Kelly's IG bio reflects her infectious personality with the credo, "Chronically ill but built to thrill."
Many of you met Kelly on the road and saw her indomitable spirit in action. Today, we ask that you hold her in your hearts, as we all mourn the loss of a truly passionate woman we were lucky to have in our lives.
Aaron, Bryan, Bryce, Matt and Scott
