Who are the band's musical influences?
|
| |
|
We all like a lot of different things. The band doesn't have one shared collection of music that we
worship and draw inspiration from. Eddie has been in a big psychedelic Cumbia phase lately, Bonnie
listens to everything from Beethoven to Britney Spears, Chris has been listening to a lot of Thrice
and Kayne recently, and I don't think Miles can go very long without listening to something by
Tom Waits.

What is your musical background like?
|
| |
|
We've all studied music at one point or another. Eddie has taken some vocal/choral training in high
school and during college. Bonnie is going to Musician's Institute for Keyboard Studies and Miles
is studying Composition and Orchestration at Pasadena City College. Chris was in drum corp and Jazz
Band during high school. Eddie and Chris have been involved in other bands in the past and this is
Miles' and Bonnie's first go at it.

Any other members in your family that are musicians?
|
| |
|
It seems like Chris' entire family plays the drums. It's scary to think that there might be an
entire family tree out there that plays as well as he does. Nobody in Miles' immediate family is
musically inclined. Interestingly enough, Eddie's mom was a rapper at one point. Bonnie's mom and
dad made sure from a young age that both she and her younger sister got an early start at playing
something.

|
What is the top reason why you want to play music?
|
| |
|
Because doing anything else wouldn't make us nearly as happy.
|
| |
|
What has been your best show?
|
| |
|
Depends who you ask. Sometimes the band will get offstage and have split opinions on how good the
show went. We've played some great shows on the Sunset Strip, Downtown L.A., and San Diego has
been really great for us too. I hope soon we can say, "Oh yeah, that show in (insert foreign country
here) went so great!" Most recently, the San Diego Indiefest. It was an amazing experience.
