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 in the midst of getting some great momentum by getting invited to play a bunch of local shows to really get integrated into our local music scene. On top of that we just finished recording our first EP and we were in the middle of planning our first ever release show.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
We were planning on holding our first EP release show on April 5th. It was crazy how much time we spent prepping and planning it. Things were finally falling in place with booking a venue, securing the lineup, deciding on our first merch purchases and then BAM! COVID happened. We were hoping after the release show we'd go full throttle applying to festivals, shows and putting ourselves out there. That's been stalled for sure BUT we've decided to have a digital EP release on July 1st now so watch out for that!
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
Jess: I've started guitar lessons learning Latin-American songs and styles of guitar playing which has been really fun! I've also have been covering songs on bass that I've always wanted to learn with a new interface on the way so I can start messing around with recording and production. Isaiah: I've been writing a ton and trying to follow up on a pirate ship gig that we tried booking last year... One day.
Favourite quarantine meal?
