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? 

At that point Bambi was recording and rehearsing for a Summer tour with the Aquabats and Reel Big Fish. Would've been a great one! We shifted during the pandemic to making videos and releasing singles. Which has helped us grow our fan base during lockdown.

How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?

We were planning a tour however there will be more opportunities to hit the road in 2022. We are focusing on recording and releasing singles via YouTube and our Twitch Channel. if you want to learn more: https://www.twitch.tv/bitemebambi

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?

We all have been busier than ever making content for our Twitch Channel, writing new songs, and making videos.

As things are reopening & restrictions are lifting have you booked any new gigs? Tours? Etc? If your region is still under restriction, how are dealing with the Covid third wave?

During the pandemic our Keyboard player MikeB began reaching out to venues to get the first possible date that we could to do a show in an outdoor venue. August 13 2021 (Friday the 13th) we will be headlining The First Annual Summer Sizzler in Garden Grove, Ca at the Garden Amp. We will be reuniting 90s ska favorites The Scholars, Reel Big Fish's Scott Klopfenstein, The Ruffolos, and the Step Daughters its going to be a great time!
