"It was so DIY.
Punk Rock DIY," laughs Kelly.
"It still got played on the radio though," says Alexei
sternly.
"Yes it still got played on the radio but it sounded like
it was recorded in a dustbin," replies Kelly much to the
amusement of Alexei.
So what fuels the band's music? Kelly suggests answering with
bullet points much to everyone's amusement. Will they be indented
and listed in order of relevance? We only get two before they
are called for a sound check.
"Gin and the opposite sex," begins Kelly.
"When hot girls we don't know start dancing to our songs,"
adds Alexei.
"And hot guys. I'm not a lesbian," states Kelly.
"I'm not gay either," declares Alexei. "Glad
we got that all out of the way," he adds laughing.
After the sound check we move into the band's car where Kelly
once again is willing to offer a list for musical influences
though Junior interrupts her enthusiasm. "It all depends
on the kind of songs."
"We've come across a lot of bands that seem to listen to
the same music as we do," announces Alexei. "It's
more about what we don’t listen to."
"The Broken Social Scene," states Junior. "We
have all the influences but I wouldn't say we sound like anyone."
"He didn't ask who we sound like. He asked for influences
and we answered his question," says Kelly. >> |
