Interview: Disonic
|
|
|
|
|
What got this band together and started in this business?
|
|
All of us has grown up in the business, playing in different bands as kids in
our respective local scenes. I suppose Disonic formed the way any band does.
Friends within a scene decide to get together and make noise.
|
|
Who writes and produces all the material for the band?
|
|
Dave writes the basic construct for each song and then arranges the instrumental
portion. I (Marq) then write melodies and lyrics over the finished music.
|
|
Has the band played in front of or with any acts our readers would know from
the mainstream?
|
|
Yes, we've done shows with Nonpoint, Lacuna Coil, Black Stone Cherry, Soil,
Stone Sour, Silent Civilian, Shadows Fall, and Ankla to name a few.
|
|
Where can people access your music on the web?
|
|
We can be found on iTunes, Rhapsody, Pandora, iMeem, and of course our own
MySpace page ( myspace.com/disonic). There
are also a number of online radio stations that play our music.
|
|
Any embarrassing moments on stage?
|
|
None that I can think of, but we haven't really been around that long.
|
|
Any good stories you want to tell us?
|
|
I could try telling the story of how Shane stopped a battle of the bands
performance and jumped into the crowd to defend his sister, but it was before
I was in the band, so I don't really know the details.
|
|
Who are the band's musical influences?
|
|
We're all influenced by different bands, but I suppose our main collective
influences are Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Dream Theater.
|
|
How did the band get together?
|
|
Dave and Shane had been in rival bands in high school and decided at some point
to start working together. Chris was a student of Dave's before being asked to
join as rhythm guitar. Brad and I came along a little later as part of the new
lineup, after the original singer/bassist Mike Laskowski left the band.
|
|
What is your musical background like?
|
|
Mine personally? I started playing drums at age 4 and piano at age 10. I was
never great at either instrument. I started taking voice lessons in my early
20s, and for some reason everything clicked for me. I've been doing it ever
since.
|
|
Any other members in your family that are musicians?
|
|
Both my parents had been musicians as kids, but never pursued music full time.
|
|
What is the TOP reason why you want to play music?
|
|
It beats working at Q Interactive.
|
|
What tune on the CD are you most proud of?
|
|
It's always the last one we played.
