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?
We were getting things ready for our EP when everything ground to a halt. Which in all honesty really did stop our ability to work with each other at the time. Living in different homes and being lockdown.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
It has set our EP release back as we definitely felt the covid blues. On top of all of it Aaron and Paul moved into a new place together which set things back further waiting for the move to be complete, then setting up the studio, and moving it to 3 different rooms in the house before everything fell in to flow.
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?
Making music, jamming, and a whole lot of cooking and eating. As of late taking the time to meditate, reflect, and be compassionate with ourselves through these strange times... And tons of laughter (both with and at each other).
How are dealing with the Covid second wave?
It's been felt by all of us more than the first shut down. So we support one another by making sure we check in pretty much everyday, have little zoom meetings just to see each others faces. And continue to plan and forge ahead as we can.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Cheshire Productions pop-up party at River City Revival House sometime in may of 2019 it was actually PoppaSquats birthday where he was spinning as well as Beast's hip hop crew Jung Kings, SmooveLix happened to be there where we all got to jam a bit together.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Forgiveness is divine... but never pay full price for late pizza! Also keep your eyes on the social media feeds as we have a release coming out TODAY and the First single from the All Aboard EP in January with the full drop slated for February.
