This week, The Glitch Mob took a break from
the recording of their sophomore LP to spend time catching up with Carson
Daly, who found this story to be an elevating tale of triumph over
hardship. At their home away from home, The Airliner (The Venue for Low
End Theory), The Glitch Mob discuss the creation of their music, the
special relationship they have with their fans, playing live, and how their
music helped to heal a man named Grant Korgan.
As derived from LA Weekly: Two
years ago, Grant Korgan was in a terrible snowmobile accident and his doctors
told him he'd never walk again. However, Korgan rejected that prognosis.
Korgan's rehabilitation was immediate, intense, and fueled
by The Glitch Mob. Before the accident, The Glitch Mob's music had enhanced his
marathon kayaking and snowmobile treks. After, their compositions gained a
profound resonance, particularly after one of Korgan's close friends wrote the
group about his situation. When he returned home from the hospital, there was a
care package of signed Glitch Mob gear, which served as a constant companion
during his recovery.
"Music feeds the fire, fuels the foot and gets the
legs jumping. Our generation has been given the gift to have powerful
motivating music in our ears at all times."
- Grant Korgan
"We were so humbled when he told us our music helped
him get through therapy and overcome a tremendous life challenge. There's no
way to describe the feeling you get when you realize that your music has helped
make a real difference in someone's life."
- The Glitch Mob
