Interview with The Echoes



- how did you get to play together? The reason i started with the band was the former drummer of the band, John Sullinger, couldnt make a gig so they asked me to fill in for him. And, after that they just decided to have me as the drummer. - how and why you decided to take part in Emergenza? Our former manager entered us into emergenza and we had no idea how big of a competition it was. - what the Emergenza experience means for you, and for your local up and coming music scene? I''m really stoked to have been a part of this. The experience has been none like any other. The level of talent and creativity that has been exposed to me is very refreshing. For example, i had never heard of Free Agent. Those guys killed it live, and now i''m rocking their cd in the truck. - Did you expect to win the national final? Not at all. When i saw villain vanguard and free agent, i was for sure one of those two were going to germany. - How do you feel about the Grand Final? Very very anxious. I cant wait to see how people react to our music there. And, to be playing for people in another country is absolutley phenomenal. - how would you describe your music? Soulful, hard driving, southern rock. - what about your relationship with your fans? Do you think their number has grown up since you have played in Emergenza? I think we have gained some fans since emergenza. The relationships with our fans are almost like we have gained new friends. We dont have a billion fans, so it''s easy to keep up with most of your true friends and keep in contact with them. - More projects for the future? Absolutely. Music is my life and always will be. The day I stop playing is the day they put me in the ground. - Any special comment/thank you about Emergenza? id like to thank Darren and Vin for working with us, although we are sometimes a little unorganized and well, young, they have been really cool.
