1. How did the band form? Who were the original members and who’s with you now?
The band formed 3 years ago with me, Thom DesEnfants, and Miles Dornboss. Me and Miles are still in the band along with Mark Sheridan, Shaylah Kloska, and Christian Rogala.
2. Being an indie band; What’s it like to play and manage the band simultaneously?
Managing ourselves gives us the most control over where the band goes, but the downside is contacts and pull that established management provides
3. Any EP’s or Albums released? Where can we find them?
We have an EP, “Cripple King”, it can be downloaded on bandcamp, or purchased at shows and in several local record shops.
4. Where do you normally play? Usual spots or do you like to travel?We love playing Schuba’s and SubT. We also love traveling to Milwaukee, Frank’s Power Plant has always been really good to us.
5. How do you write your songs? All together, lead by one person, magically? What are some of the processes?
Originally, I wrote all the songs beginning to end and the rest of the band would decide their parts. Recently, however, we developed a much more group oriented process based on bits of chorus or verse or even just riffs written by any one of us.
6. Any major musical inspirations to you and the band?
We base our music on everything we like. Folk, Rock, Country, New Wave, Punk, all of it makes its way into our songs. As far as bands go, there are all the traditional one that we love, but honestly we all consume music on an obese scale. What we can’t put down one week flows into what we hit repeat on for the next week.
7. Future plans?
We will be releasing a 7inch this summer and playing around at several of the local fests. Plans are to start working on a full length this fall.
