They’re rather cryptic in their explanation of how the band got together, “someone… knew someone who was friends with someone who could hit things,” and don’t seem to want to let any secrets go, really. Instead, they seem adamant that you’ve got to see them live to understand the band fully. What better chance than at the Epsy this Friday the 22nd? In the meantime, here are our questions, just to pique your curiosity before the show.

WHAT’S THE STORY OF THE STORY MODEL? HOW DID YOU GUYS GET TOGETHER?
The story is written in the music you'll have to come see us to find out. One person knew someone that needed people, that person told someone they thought could help, that person strummed, and that person was someone who could help and also had someone else they thought would work, they did, and they plucked, and also knew someone who was friends with someone that could hit things, they formed "The Story Model".

WHAT ARE YOU INSPIRATIONS, MUSICAL AND NON-MUSICAL?
A glass of wine, a shot of tequila, and old movies.

IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE YOUR SOUND IN 3 WORDS, WHAT WOULD THEY BE?
Distinctive, Nonpareil, Unclassified.

WHERE HAVE YOU GUYS PLAYED IN THE PAST AND WHAT IS YOUR DREAM GIG?
Nowhere, and Bjork’s house.

YOU HAVE SOME GREAT QUALITY RECORDINGS. WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH IN THE STUDIO?
I wouldn't call them great. We will be releasing our first professional EP soon though.

WHAT PERSUADED YOU TO ENTER EMERGENZA FESTIVAL?
Seemed like a good idea at the time.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO MOST ABOUT THE FESTIVAL EXPERIENCE?
Getting to play with other great sounding local bands.
