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 just about to put out Blood Fortune on vinyl but stopped production when the release show was cancelled.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
We had a lot of shows that were cancelled or just never announced, and our tour dates dissolved before they finalized.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
Getting a number of back burnered projects rolling has been great and working on a bunch of non-music related video projects has been helping me wrap my head around getting some new Aanthems content together. Also watching a lot of Naked Attraction.
Favourite quarantine meal?
Fresh tacos!
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
It's an awesome room, hoping to play there in the new world!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Hang in there, do your best, be kind. Reach out if you need help and most of all, listen to NEW music as much as you can.
