Finniston interview

well steven took his time to answer the questions that i sent him, so great thanks to steven!! here goes:


Q - since on your website, you've mentioned that you and your sister
have taken different musical paths while you were growing up, what
made you guys decide to team up and form finniston?

A – Both my sister and myself have been playing music since we were about four years old. We both played classical piano and violin for years until I discovered rock and grunge music, and Jolene started playing Scottish fiddle tunes. At this point our musical tastes changed quite a bit. I played lead guitar in a couple of bands at school and wrote a few songs, but didn’t start writing stuff properly until I was about 20. Then in 2002 we both found ourselves living in Glasgow one street away from each other and decided to team up and play some music! I then started writing more and more songs and then finniston was born!

Q -what are some of your band's musical influences?

A – These days our musical tastes are pretty similar. I usually end up stealing CDs of new bands that my sister is listening to so we pretty much end up liking the same stuff! My favourite bands at the moment are probably Aberfeldy (a Scottish band), Josh Ritter, and Belle and Sebastian (another Scottish band!). Other influences include Nick Drake, John Martyn, and Ron Sexsmith.

Q -why did you choose to play sort of soft rock, acoustic kind of music?

A – it was never a conscious choice really, I think that most songwriters write stuff that is related to their musical influences in some way, and I’m sure that I’m the same! I prefer to listen to acoustic music so I tend to write the same sort of stuff – never really thought about it before though!

Q -are there any favorites amongst finniston's songs for you? is there any
particular reason behind those choices?

A – I don’t normally admit that I like my own songs! I suppose at the moment I really enjoy playing ‘another love song’. The harmonies are fun and it’s a nice happy song! ‘peace of mind’ is another one I’m liking at the moment. I wrote it after an argument I had with my girlfriend so it’s got a lot of meaning to me!

Q -what are some plans you've got for finniston in the future?

A – Main plan at the moment for us is to get signed! We’ve got some interest from a couple of labels at the moment so fingers crossed! Also we’ve got our new EP coming out at the end of the month which we’re quite excited about. It’ll be available through our website at www.finniston.com, so keep checking for updates on that!

GIVE their songs a LISTEN:
finniston - another love song


NOTE: finniston has their EP coming out in SEPTEMBER so go ahead of grab it if you like that band!!!

Afterhours #4 - failed attempt at an acoustic show

hey there! got this show going, quick eh? yah as i said, i wanna finish a round of music shows before i get back to school. so i guess i'll get something on some time later this week.

first off : lots of thanks to steven from finniston, even though i mentioned it during my podcast, i really appreciate how nice you were about the whole thing, even offered me a better quality file and to answer some questions about the band. real cool!!!
also to seth, damien and steff!!! your encouragements kicked ass!! gave me a boost to do my show. hahah but somehow i've shown some slacking off during this show and i kinda have a feeling that laziness will pursue on further. but oh well i'll just compensate that with good choices of music.

oh right another thing to celebrate: the circulation numbers went up to double digits!! yay!! the numbers are going up little by little, thanks for the support guys!

well anyhow, i better shut up now ON WITH the ...

Tied and Tickled Trio

gosh it's hot out there, it was raining for a couple of days and now comes the sizzling sun. just great... and the humidity!!
but thank god for air conditioning, so it ain't so bad. well i think i got to get the first round of shows done before Aug 17, cause then i've got to go back to school and things arne't going to be as laid back then. got colleges to plan for ...

jazzy/electonica :
Tied and Tickled Trio
album- Observing Systems
label: Morr Music Recrods
release: 2004
track i got to listen to : the Long Tomorrow

This track emphasizes more on horns and rhythms. I got this description scaruffi.com, it says “The instrumentation is inspired to 1960s cool jazz and jazz-rock, but the solos flow as if hypnotized and the group improvisations is icy as if "digitized".” It says that they play electronic jazz, but this track is more to the jazz side, if not at all.

They are a German group that have band memberes from bands like Notwist, Village of Savoonga, etc... their music is influenced by 1960s coll jazz and jazz-rock. Is said to be a mix of Tortoise and Miles Davis.

go ahead and check em out. you can stream 3 of their songs from their website
