Sick April Interview. Tri-Cities Mixtape Podcast

So how did this band get started, and how long have y'all been a thing?

So we've been a band for, what, like four years now? And these are actually our two newest members.

Oh, right.

So you've been here for almost a year, right?

Just about a year, yeah.

And then...

About six months.

Okay, you being one of the OGs here, how did this band get started, and why did it get started?

I've been playing with Tanner and other guitarists for about 12 years, and we have had many iterations of bands, and then this is the newest sound, and we brought Zach in for drums, and we've just kind of been playing with that sound and evolving ever since for about four years.

Do you

remember some of the older incarnations, the other band names?

Yeah, yeah.

We were Third Park Avenue for a long time.

That sounds a little punky, was it? It was a

little punky, yeah.

And there was all kinds of other names.

There was like Elysium and like Hunting in the Garage, like all kinds of random stuff.

But we were like, you know,

teenagers, so...

Pleasantly surprised that your name isn't April.

That made the band name like a thousand times cooler.

Yeah, yeah.

No, but people call me April all the time.

Yeah, right.

I think it took me about three weeks after joining to really drill it.
