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 did some music festivals last year, a pocket tour of Starlite Room Edmonton, Marquee Calgary, The Krossing Red Deer. Also played some great bar gigs. We went to Hollywood to play the world-famous Whisky a Go Go on Jan 10th then headlined Rockslam on Feb 8th in Edmonton at the Recroom on the southside. We started booking for our summer festivals and also booked the Whisky a Go Go for July 17th.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
All of our summer bookings are on hold now and the future is uncertain. The thirst to continue rocking in the free world continues. We also just started recording our debut ep but that is also on hold. Currently we communicate online. We send each other tracks and write off of those. We normally jam at a studio provided to us by our sponsor Skunkworks Distillery but for now we stay home.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
We all sit at home making tracks and videos to tie together.
Favourite quarantine meal?
Home-made pizza.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Millennium New Year's Eve Party year 2000. AFI 1999. Getting to play there a hand full of times.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Stay strong, stay safe, be a part of the solution not the problem. Help your neighbours and loved ones. If you don’t have anywhere important to be stay home.
