I wasn’t really trying to turn my party band into a job. I just didn’t want to do ANYTHING else except play music. My heart was set on it and I focused all of my intense pent up energy from feeling stuck in a small town into music. To me, I would have rather died than go to school and get a normal job. When I was in school and working, I felt completely brain dead. So I said, “fuck this shit.” and quit college and my job. And I freaking went for it man. I looked up every opportunity to find shows out of town. Battle of the Bands, House parties, opening slots…whatever man!!! I had to get out and tell the whole world how I felt through our tunes. I really believed in it, ya know. So I did it.
When we first started playing shows, there was never that many people there. I didn’t give a crap though. I played as intense as possible. After every show, I can barely pick my head up from head banging so hard. My voice is shot from screaming and I’m soaking wet with sweat. That is how I turned it into a job. I give the audience everything I’ve got from this little body and smack them in the face with it. I make them want to keep getting smacked in the face. And you know why they want it? BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO FEEL. You have to do it every time too. You never know who is watching. Thats how we got record deals and booking agents. They saw us giving it everything we’ve got. Just like in any job. The boss wants someone hard working and passionate.
