CVNW December 2012

CV NorthWest: Have you guys always wanted to play music, or were there other interests when you were younger?

Justin: When I was younger, I was a fan of theme parks and really wanted to do design work either on roller coasters or dark rides but I picked up piano in 4th grade and never looked back.

Ryan: I thought I was gonna be a pro football and basketball player until the Dr. told me I had an incurable form of being slow, short, and white. So I bought a guitar. (NOTE: the CVNW Pres understands this malady very well).

Danny: I grew up on Baseball, BMX and music.

Ryan: Viper Room about 3(ish) years ago. I honestly can't say I was nervous, just excited. We'd been working really hard and were ready to get out on the stage and show everyone what we could do.

Danny: We did our first show at The Viper Room three years ago. I think anytime you go into unknown territory, you get nervous. I still get nervous before shows, but you have to let that work for you rather than against you. That’s something that I’m learning as time goes on, it comes with repetition. I think at the 100th show, the nerves come from caring about what it is you do, and wanting to do it well.

Domo: My first show with these guys was SSMF 2012 at The Roxy. I had just learned the songs and had been in the group for three weeks. So yeah....nerves for sure but it was packed and it rocked!!!
