InterviewWhen did you guys get started?About three years ago, I guess it was around 2007. How did you get together?Well, given that three of the members are brothers, it was pretty smooth. We had to wait for Jon to turn legal before we could start playing shows in bars. If you had to describe your sound, how would you describe it?Well…that’s a pretty tough question. Ummm… Alternative? That’s pretty broad. I used to run a music website and I know how much bands hate to be asked that, so I couldn’t resist. Have you toured much?No, not really. We are just trying to build a local fan base for now. We all have other things going on the side so we are trying to keep the focus local. Are all of you students?Not all of us. Steve is a flight instructor, James is in Engineering at the UofA, Matt is in a Masters of Surgery at the UofA, and Jon is applying to be a firefighter. You mentioned that you have two EPs and you were the Sonic Band of the month in October. Have you noticed any extra promo or activity from that?Definitely, we noticed more traffic on our MySpace page and more of our tracks were listened to. It was great exposure. Great, any upcoming shows you want to plug?Yep, April 1st – The Nest at NAIT with Christian Hansen |
