Pop / R&B - San Francisco, USA
After exhaustively stalking Amy and trying to convince her to drop everything and work on this project, she told me she had to go on tour with her band the Aislers Set. I was left despondent in san francisco with a new computer and this music in my head. I met tomo through a friend and we hardly even asked each other on a music date before we were on a regular practice schedule furiously writing and recording music. Tomo loves blippy bleepy yet melodic landscapey music the most. I had to coerce him a bit into some ass-shaking, but he eventually caved in. Whether it's a hot beat or bass part or a strangely beautiful keyboard melody, he always brings something unique and inspiring to the music. We'll be hanging out and he'll be tapping out a beat with the keys in his pocket and we'll record that. I grew up listening to Michael and Janet and L'Trimm and pop that my sisters would turn me on to. As soon as I heard Sonic Youth and the Velvet Underground my world turned inside out and I started voraciously ingesting anything other than what was played on the radio. i became immersed in the indie music world with my band Imperial Teen, all the while reveling in the latest greatest pop/hip hop songs and records. "Hey Willpower" feels like something new and exciting and postmodern without being smug or ironic. Although it's different from Imperial Teen, it makes perfect sense to me to be making the music we're making because it comes from what i love about music. When we're performing live and people are doin' their dances and making noise, we know it's right. Dance is becoming a big part of our live show. Erin Rush and Justin Kelly are on dance detail and we have a good time synching up. I'm good with the chin scratchers and musicologists and philosophers too, but sometimes you have to let the emotions take over. Let's dance now and we can talk about it later if you want.
