Thanks for Asking
RRX: Like songs, every artist has a unique feeling about their first show. What was your first show like? Was it your best show? If not, what was your best show like? EB: Our first show was at Pauley’s Hotel. Pretty crazy. I remember being nervous and unsure if what we had been practicing was […]

By Sara Busone. RRX: Who do you admire in the local music community and why? Duane Beer: A couple of groups that first come to mind.

By Sara Busone. RRX: What do you think is the most poorly understood thing about music, or the music you play? Chris Busone: It’s pretty simple; it’s rock and roll. You either listen and like it, or you go to the bar and get another drink. Either way, we play, you listen, nobody gets hurt. […]
Seed and Soul Band – Thanks for Asking! – by Liam Sweeny. RRX: It’s a lot of fun living in the present, but we all collect memories and give birth to dreams. We’re talking dreams here. Where you see yourself next year? In the next five years? SSB: In the next year we as a duo […]
