What are your hopes and dreams as a band for the next few years. We got to play with Pink Mexico, who recently signed with Burger, and they shredded. Tym: I’d also say playing Shea Stadium in Brooklyn was pretty sweet. There were a good few weeks of trading progress on the new songs/artwork–it was like trading inspiration back and forth. Whats the coolest thing that’s happened to you as a band since you started up?Įric: Working with Etienne Puaux on the MMDD cover art. Emin turned me onto Diamond Dogs, which is the epitome of Bowie writing for me. Pink Floyd was mashed into my brain early on by my dad and older brother, and Bowie came on in a few different phases. Personally, from a song writing point of view, Pink Floyd and Bowie are my biggest influences. We went through phases of psych and garage bands both on our own and as a band. Who would you list as your musical influence?.Įric: As a band, Queens of the Stone Age was our common interest, but I had started listening to Thee Oh Sees when Help came out, passed it along to Emin when living together, and then to Tym after a while of knowing each other. The beginnings had very little structure or intention, and were fueled by a large amount of beer. One night Tym mentioned that he had played drums in high school, and we decided to go out to a rehearsal space and play for fun. Emin and I were roommates, and I had sort of consistently pushed a bass into his hands for jamming purposes. “įor those unfamiliar with your bands history, can you tell us all how you all met up and decided to start a band ?Įric: Tym and I met through our girlfriends, who are twins, and bonded over our mutual love for Queens of the Stone Age. The 2nd side is formatted around the stages of sleep/dreaming and the bodily/brain functions, and all songs flow into each other. “An old man builds a humanoid in his younger image, implanting his memories the robot discovers what he is, hunts down and kills creator with some difficulties (Machine Master Side), and then the creator has a postmortem dream/nightmare focused on losing his soul to the robot/demons/devil (Demon Dream Side). The record is described by the band as a “something of a two act rock opera” It’s some pretty cool distorted artistic garage psychedelic rock. Queen Giza is out of Brooklyn and Charleston and back in July they put out their debut album Machine Master Demon Dream.
