|
|
|
|
What got this band together and started in this business?
|
|
AARON: Dustin and I met at an open jam in Wichita sometime in mid 2001.
We started playing together a short time after. The rest, as they say, is
history. Since that time we have been gigging regularly. Luckily we have seen an
interest in our music.
|
|
Who writes and produces all the material for the band?
|
|
AARON: Both Dustin and I are the primary songwriters. In the studio, we
have self-produced all of our records thus far.
|
|
Has the band played in front of or with any acts our readers would know from
the mainstream?
|
|
AARON: Other than a few short stints with Paul McCartney and Slayer, we
have not had a ton of mainstream tour projects.
|
|
Where can people access your music on the web?
|
|
|
|
Any embarrassing moments on stage?
|
|
AARON: One time at a gig in the Florida Keys, Brad crapped his pants. Ya,
that was pretty embarrassing.
|
|
Who are the band's musical influences?
|
|
AARON: No one particular person. Blues, Punk/Stoner/Heavy Rock, Old Time
Country/Bluegrass.
|
|
What is your musical background like?
|
|
AARON: We all come from different areas of music. Brad can read music a
little. Dustin and IĘcan't read music at all. We have all played in various
bands over the years.
|
|
Any other members in your family that are musicians?
|
|
AARON: Dustin and I fathers were both musicians.
|
|
What is the TOP reason why you want to play music?
|
|
AARON: Because it feels good.
|
|
What's your stance on file swapping?
|
|
AARON: Hard for me to decry file swapping as I have downloaded plenty of
music. However, it does cost musicians money when people don't spend some dough
on artists music.
|
|
What is the process of making a CD?
|
|
AARON: Going into the studio and hitting it hard.
|
|
How do you get the word out about your music?
|
|
AARON: Having a strong publicist helps. In addition, we collect e-mails
at gigs and send out updates each month. We have been able to slowly cultivate
a bigger following each year.
|
|
How is your local response to your music?
|
|
AARON: The interesting thing is that as we garner more popularity outside
of the area, the more people around here seem to embrace our music.
|
|
What is the furthest you have traveled for a gig?
|
|
AARON: Iraq/Kuwait
|
|
What tune on the CD are you most proud of?
