In this pre-show interview with the band The Still Shadows talk to us about what may go down this Wednesday, October 1st when they take on the legendary stage at The Lair with their dark, heavy grunge rock. Hear what the band had to say in their own words:

HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE NAME THE STILL SHADOWS?
We were throwing ideas around for about a year, and one day we were talking about Nick, our drummer's, nightmares. He was talking something about being chased by shadows, and one thing led to another... Hey, great band name, The Still Shadows....

WHAT'S YOUR LIVE SET UP LIKE?
Pretty simple set up on stage, two amps, one mic, one drum set. Straight-up rock.

IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE YOUR SOUND IN THREE WORDS, WHAT WOULD THEY BE?
Heavy Grungy Rock.

WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR MAJOR MUSICAL INFLUENCES?
We are all different. For me, I'd say Alterbridge, Silverchair, Slash. Nick would say Metallica, Foo Fighters. Benny would say Tool, Nirvana.

WHAT'S THE CRAZIEST THING YOU'VE DONE TOGETHER AS A BAND?
Well, really just getting up and playing in front of people would be our craziest thing so far....

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO MOST ABOUT YOUR SHOW AT THE LAIR?
The Lair has a legend and we are looking forward to being part of it. From what I have seen it will be an awesome stage to play on.

WITH OTHER BATTLE OF THE BANDS COMPETITIONS AROUND, WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE EMERGENZA?
Emergenza seems to help so much more with promotion and really setting up the foundations for our band, an area we need the help with. Also, the 1st prize is not to be sneezed at.
