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 had our last show before everything shut at Toronto's famed "Painted Lady" alongside some other great local talent. Everything seemed like it was moving in the right direction for us, when seemingly the rug was yanked out from under us and we came to a screeching halt.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
We were going to continue playing in and around the GTA alongside releasing music. We didn't have a specific tour set up, but we were going to open for some bands and return the favour by asking other bands to open for us too.
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've actually decided to go full speed and release singles as often as we can, we just released a track with local celebrity Danny Fernandes a couple weeks ago, and now we're already back in studio crafting the next track. Hopefully it's out at the end of March/early April! From a mental health standpoint, everyone is suffering. We do our best to keep doing what we love, and since we can still write and talk to each other on the phone, it hasn't been as bad as others I imagine. It sucks not being able to play live, or mix and mingle with other musicians, but we're using this time as best we can to bolster our product, so when we DO go back out, it's a huge deal.
How are dealing with the Covid second wave?
About as well as we can, trying to stay positive and keeping ourselves active with things we enjoy.
