For the first episode of "And The Nights Were Perfect, Too" - A Silver Jews Podcast, we travel back in time before all the fame and fans in the mid-1980s to speak to one of Berman's oldest friends, Kylie Wright. A staple student in the infamous "Red Haus" scene, located on 14th St. near "The Corner", while the gang attented the University of Virginia (UVA) during the Ectoslavia/Silver Jews/Pavement corss-pollination, the crew consisted of Berman, Gate Pratt, Rob Chamberlin, Chris Marsden, Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich and, of course, Kylie Wright herself, to name a few.

From spiritual shenanigans to the exploratory exercise of experimental music and art, Wright takes us through the humble beginnings of her foundational friendships, all-star ancedotes from the creative community that captivated Charlottesville, and beyond, her relationship with Berman, and his lyrical legacy that has truly transcended the times, and much more!
