Redhook - INTERVIEW

2023-07-17


This year is starting off great for Sydney, Australia's RedHook.

Having been part of the Australian leg of "The World is a Vampire" tour, opening for The Smashing Pumpkins and Jane's Addiction, they are now the midst of their own headlining "Postcard From A Living Hell" tour. They are also gearing up for a summer European tour with Stand Atlantic and have numerous festival dates on their schedule.

On top of all the touring, they still found time to complete and released their long awaited debut album, Postcard From A Living Hell, and accompanying videos for several of the tracks.

We were fortunate enough to have recently caught up with lead singer Emmy Mack to ask a few questions about their time on the road, musical inspirations and...

CATBEAR - INTERVIEW/Review

2023-02-02


From COVID bedroom recordings to an unexpected stint onstage, CATBEAR have been the praised opening act for The Subways tour across the UK in early 2023. Brought into the light by Billy Lunn of The Subways himself, Zoe Konez and Sarah Smith played a synth heavy set to early concert arrivers at Scala London on February 2, 2023. Their set featured songs from their new discography, like "I Choose Love" and Konez was even joined on vocals by Lunn for a surprise ending.

Ahead of the show, Zoe answered a few questions about their time on the road, musical inspirations, their fan connection, and much more!

Kendall Vowels (KV): Welcome back to the live stage! How has tour been so far for you?

Zoe Konez (ZK): It's been wild! This is the first time we've performed our CATBEAR songs live so...

Colony House - Interview

2022-07-07


Sitting across from me in a coffee shop near London Bridge, I talked with 3/4 of Colony House (Caleb Chapman, Parke Cottrell, and Scott Mills) ahead of the first-ever London headliner. Despite Caleb's actual brother Will, drummer of Colony House, having to skip out this time, the three guys interacted like brothers themselves. Their long history as a band and friends unveiled some deep reflections and fun stories as we talked about their first European headlining show, releasing an album independently, their full-length film, wine, new music, and more.

Kendall Vowels (KV): You guys just played Dublin the other night? How did it go and how did it feel to be in Europe?

Parke Cottrell (PC): Pretty awesome. It was our first time headlining any show over here. We didn't know exactly what to expect. We were just hoping people showed up. We know a little bit more information ahead of time about tonight's show about ticket sales but we didn't get that for the Dublin shows. So it was a big question mark...

Ahead of their second, sold-out London headline, I had the opportunity to talk with Jonas Swanson and KJ Ward of The Backseat Lovers.

Kendall Vowels (KV): How are you both? It's been a little bit since you've been in London, how does it feel to be back?

Both: Exciting

Jonas Swanson (JS): We've been out in the UK for a lot longer than we were last time. It feels like we have a lot of time to explore and see a lot more.

KJ Ward (KJ): Last time was really...

I sat down with Jake Roche and Charley Bagnall of push baby to talk all things new music, being present, and solicitation by a male sex toy company.

Kendall Vowels (KV): So you’ve gone the indie route now?

Jake Roche (JR): We’re just starting again at the grassroots level and figuring it out. But it’s good. It’s really good. You just realize how spoiled you were going from such a huge, pop world, if you will, to this. And I think a lot of people would have given up by now. But fuck it, this is fun - what else am I going to do?

KV: What do you think coming from that pop world and being in the music industry for so long taught...

Fort Wayne Indiana's PJ Sauerteig, better known to the music world as Chicago’s very own transplanted son, Slow Dakota, is best known for blending Baroque Pop, Folk, Classical, and Electronic from certain composers.

Slow Dakota started releasing music in 2012 from his Columbia University dorm room. Being a very reclusive artist means he has never toured and has only done a handful of live shows. This makes the experience even more memorable!...
