BSK-got plans? 20 mins free time? Im hurtin for an interview

Chris-Sure man
BSK-lemme grab a brew and smoke then i will hit u up with some questions
Chris-sounds good
BSK-alright lets get the started  .. DIE I saw you guys live before and you killed .. whats going on with the band nowadays?
Chris-well we havent had a very active summer so far, its been pretty tough to get a ton of time together, but we are still writing and jammin, hopefully pull together some recordings soon
BSK-What got you into music ? Did you train or did you work on your vocals yourself?
Chris-bit of a funny story,
BSK-please share !

Chris-I had actually tried out for DIE probably about 8 years ago. Did my audtion but I was just awful. Metal has always been a huge passion and lifestyle for me so I wanted to be a singer so bad and I thought I would never be able to be good enough. Years passed and I had found that the band was looking to form again as they found a drummer and needed a singer. The first audition I was a pack and a half a day smoker and could barely breathe. My audition many years later I had quit smoking and was able to scream like a mother fucker. something i have never been able to do as a smoker. so I have been building and getting better and better as time progresses

my older brother introduced me to metal at a very young age and I have been hooked ever since
BSK-haha yeah smoking can be a bitch to the voice .. I cannot sing anymore cause i smoke and drink too much ...I wanna say thanks for getting involved in the blogs first show!! I am exited to have you come and scream your head off! What would be the best place in your mind to play? anywhere.

Chris-yeah absolutly. I am super stoked for the show. The best place is wherever I am on stage haha. but if I had to pick I would love to do some house of blues type venue. But my all time fantasy would be to play just any huge outdoor festival preferebly in Europe somewhere

I kinda perfer the smaller venues if I were to play day to day. I like being close to the audience
BSK-To grow as a band you have to promote and be close to your fans .A serious question here .. what do you think about the state of the music industry in Calgary right now?

Chris-I think that it is definatly growing and this city has a lot of crazy talent. my next step is that I really want to start becoming more involved with it. Unfortunalty I dont know the major in's and out's of this city's industry, but it is something that I want to become close with. I love that there are so many shows every weekend for local talent. Some of the music in this city is pretty amazing
BSK-The ins and outs are not that hard to learn if you know the right people  .. anyway lets get to the fun speed questions.. whats the best breakfast?

Chris-And I am slowly begining to know them which I am stoked for.
I make my kids "epic breakfast" alot and it consists of pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs and fruit salad. basic but delicious
BSK-Who is you favorite historical figure ?

Chris-Genghis kahn, that mother fucker is badass
BSK-he fathered half the world lol .. if you were to open for any band living or dead who would it be?

Chris-yeah he did. its crazy hahaha. hmm, so many to choose from. dead bands...Snot, and alive bands probably lamb of god or cannibal. two frontman that really inspire me. probably the two bands i have seen the most live and they kill it every time. I would love to be a part of that
BSK-If you had a plane right now where would you go?
Chris-probably visit Norway or Scotland
BSK-Scotland castles is where I would go . oh we have so much in common lol..So for my final question that people love is what would you do in a zombie apocalypse ??\

Chris-haha nice. I have played this scenario out in my head hundreds of times. Survival of the fittest. Kill or be killed. I would just try and survive as long as I could and probably have fun with it and kill as many zombie motha fuckers as i can.
BSK-Thanks for the interview bro! It was well needed and I cannot wait to see you tear the shit out of Lord nelsons Sept 5th!!!

Chris-aww any time man. it was fun. I cant wait for the show. thanks alot man
BSK-No problem! Cheers bro!!
Chris-cheers.
