Post Show Interview
You look a little haggard man. You feeling ok?
I'm a good tired man. This has been a long time coming. It's been a year. But it felt more like ten or a hundred. We missed each other. It was damn good to get out and play. The general consensus was too play an impromptu show. Then we'd play some covers like we did back when we were just some scrappy bar band. Bringing that spirit back into it was what we needed. It's bringing back the fun again. When it didn't feel like a chore. Definitely worth it.
It's good to get back to basics. Is it the same for the new record? Back to basics or going into uncharted territory?
I don't think that's the right assumption. But it's close. We're definitely taking the spirit of this show into the studio as we record. Though if you remember what I've said before. I don't think we're really a genre specific band. I think when you're playing music in a band you should be ever evolving. Tastes may change a little. There maybe things you've never done before that you want to do. I don't think pigeonholing yourself as a band helps you. So we like to do a little it of everything. It keeps things interesting for us and the fans.
That's a pretty intelligent statement. You're recording a new record. You're actually going to sign on to a label as well. You've been a DIY independent band for years. What's changing? Who are you contracting with?
Nothing's changed really. A label just popped up that caught our eye. We liked their philosophy and the fact that they weren't genre specific. They're also a non major independent label as well. Amy Meyer's Songs To Live and Die By. They just seemed a perfect fit for what we're looking for in a label. I also must add I'm interesting in collaborating with her. I'd like record with her and maybe stretch her a bit more as an artist. The little girl has some vocal chops. It'd be interesting to say the least.
I see. Anybody else you've been interest in rocking out with?
Right now? I'd say Ryan Ross Hernandez, Cassie Summers, Ellie-Grace, Brandon Caulfield, and my buddy Erich Hess. The list is long. But it's been a while since myself and Erich have shared the stage or a recording room together. He got married to Ada, something or other. I'm horrible with names. But put the rumors of a falling out to a rest friends. Life just happened to us. We'll be back together terrorizing the country in no time.
Well I hope the record goes well man. I've already heard things about and I'm waiting on its release. The show was great as well!
Hey thanks man. We're happy about how it's going as well. But it's a work in progress and a big endeavor for us. Since we've been away from each other for a year. It'll work itself out though of course. Thanks for enjoying the show! We hope to put on more that are just as good. It's great to be back together. That's for damn sure.
