With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
The band was about to play our first gig in NYC, we also had some great festivals we were set to perform at as well as touring plans for the summer.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
We had to do a complete reset as a band because just like every other performing artist we had to cancel all our shows. We had a tour that we had yet to announce planned.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home? How are you supporting your mental health through all of this?
Thankfully most of our band members have home studios so we were able to do a lot of songwriting and recording, we would then frequently get together and collaborate on zoom calls. I can only speak for myself on that front but I got myself into a daily writing and recording schedule and that really helped give me some structure. I also really enjoy film so I made an extensive movie watching list. - Noah
As things are reopening & restrictions are lifting have you booked any new gigs? Tours? Etc? If your region is still under restriction, how are dealing with the Covid third wave?
We have one gig booked currently on September 10th at Supermarket bar in Toronto. We're currently focused on the release of our upcoming EP but as shows slowly start happening again we'll likely aim to plan a tour as well as some more shows. We live in Toronto and thankfully here the Covid situation has improved greatly so the restrictions have mostly been lifted.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Unfortunately we have yet to visit the Starlite Room but hopefully we can plan a tour out that way later this year! Our publicist Eric Alper has told us great things!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Thanks for taking to the time to read this interview and checking out our music! Keep your eyes pealed for our upcoming EP that will be released in early September, we're really proud of it and can't wait to get it out there for everyone to hear.
