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 hard at work writing some fresh tunes and getting our new bass player up to speed on the oldies. The band was preparing to do a photoshoot with the new line up and had some great ideas for music videos that will have to be saved for a later date.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
We had just recorded two new tracks in the Fall of 2019, with Nixon Boyd of Hollerado producing. These last few months were when we had planned to release and promote them. We would have loved to get out there and play as many shows as possible!
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
Besides becoming alcoholics? Scratching a lot of movies of the list- old ones and new. Finally watched The Shining haha
Favourite quarantine meal?
I wish I could say I’ve dialled back on the takeout and took this opportunity to become better in the kitchen, but that would be a lie. I have been heating up a lot of frozen chicken fingers though! I’ve realized I will never outgrow that.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Exploring the website has been a good time, seems like a lot of cool content. The venues in Edmonton look awesome! We are even more motivated to stay the course, and hopefully tour out that way soon.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
This is weird. It really sucks not seeing your friends and family. Hopefully some great art will come out of it. Keep supporting the music scene and hang in there! This too shall pass. Check out our new single on May 1st - “THE WORLD YOU KNOW (WILL END)”
