What is up, my blog-reading, music loving fellow individuals!
How is everybody's day going?
I am excited to tell you that after much delay, I am publishing an interview with a local band that I confess I am a huge fan of: Josephine and the Wildfront! I had the opportunity to ask these three talented musicians some questions, and the best parts of our interactions are here.
Jo&theWF is made up of (from left) drummer Preston Vaughn, frontwoman Josephine Moore, and Krista Glover on the keyboards/synths.
The trio has been playing their instruments individually for years; in early 2012, however, the three began their first collaboration under the name Holy Coast. Stylistically, Holy Coast didn't work out.
"6 months ago, we decided to start playing Jo's old solo work", says Krista, "That's when we became the band we are today."
Drawing inspiration from groups with dark, ethereal synth tones (think Metric) and imagery filled lyrics, Jo&theWF use a collection of individual preferences and styles to create their unique and piercing sounds.
Speaking of unique, I asked Josephine what makes her voice sound the way it does. Does she do anything unorthodox? "Lots of honey and whiskey!" was her reply.
Josephine and the Wildfront are excited about where they are going. The group is busy creating new music, and preparing to go in a different direction than the tracks on their recently released EP Swallowed by the Ocean represent.
On a side note, Jo&theWF will be playing tomorrow night (August 31) at the Demonbreun Blockbuster, an all day event. Josephine and the Wildfront start at 5:15 at South...it will be a great show!
This trios's star is on the rise, supported by great music and vital 4th meal-fueled midnight practices.
If you get the chance, definitely check out Josephine and the WIldfront playing somewhere near you!
