On a Friday night in March, by 8:30 pm and I was at Legendary Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles eagerly awaiting the restoration of Florida rock / emo band further seems forever. I moved from Singapore through the international date landline, and it took me 15 hrs and over 14,000km to reach the sunshine state, only to watch their performance of their second album which they did with Jason Gleason, my favorite singer. With the local opening band, in fact swelling crowd now as the band close to their musical heroes. "I wonder who these are" kids," My concerts partner that night joked with me about the next band, with the impression revealing the meaning of the two questions. I smiled patiently as he makes more jest about their names.
I know nothing of them, and I know that you can get me acquainted with them. Soon, the curtain rises and standing at the center stage are six youths who are ready to give us a demonstration. Then they started playing -At a point, we realize that these children are more than their name can show. The rock band independent of South City Beach Fort Lauderdale, Florida, KIDS was established on friendship, sealed by brotherhoods, and are joined by music and creativity. Since it was established in 2012, with Josiah Sampson Matthew Barrios (drums) Christian Gonzales (Guitar) and Joshua Diaz (vocals / bass), the band has been expanded to include keyboardist and percussionist AJ woomer and Donald Johnson the trumpeter. In 2011, the original band of brothers –who are already friends and co-jam for a number of years - decided to separate from one another as their musical journey reached a crossroads: Emotions as if they were losing their authenticity, and they are the first to question the purpose and meaning in music which is supposed to bring joy -.
And afterward would they say they were simply proposed to follow Convention? The inquiry concerned the checking of their instinct for answers; and when they at long last met weeks after, each characteristically realized that they would not move in the opposite direction of what they knew that they generally cherished. The Band talked their mind in a meeting with Ground sounds in 2015: "they all had the same thing to say: You can't stop being who you are. Regardless of how any of us has grown up; we will dependably compose and play the music. We can't stop that. If not professionally, we will remain craftsmen until the end of our lives. "and making a citation from Picasso that included how they feel ("All youngsters are craftsmen, the issues is remaining a craftsman when they grow up "), their prevalence as kids was energized by the craving for aggregate articulation of honest to goodness opportunity of workmanship, to take the authentic adoration for their specialty and music and offer with genuine people."We do what we love, and if it implies that we are conversing with individuals, so wonderful, "Diaz replied during a 2015 meeting with MySpace, "and, if not, we will in any case be upbeat.”
I don't know anything about the kids when they made that big appearance and had not heard any of their tunes before their introduction implied that all these new ears have had no trust. In this way, as the principal harmonies of "Man on the Moon filled the room; I understood that this set will be something uncommon.
Music manipulated by Adventure
Children, in general, are quite mindful of their own and wrapped in different dimensions of thought, they often march to the beat of their drum. Like children, to revive the passion for their art is meant to do things their way. Although in spite of many musical influences shared between the band, from the country to 80s – even an element fundamental to all, loyalty "life", as shown by Sampson in 2013 interview with The New Times Broward Palm Beach - the heart of all that, they only wanted to be authentic, to be like themselves.
After receiving attention at the beginning of 2013 for their first EP, Sink or Swim (especially this excellent music video under the correct name of a song), the band wanted to do more to "Translating feelings into music" and "to convey the feelings, rather than just sound or story. Diaz explained the process that finally set the course for the creation of their new album. "Whenever we write, we confine ourselves in in an isolated place, and the impacts are that our sound is as authentic as possible. They want their music to be influenced by adventure; then they went on adventures. If they want their music to be inspired by the mountains, then they went to the hills. "
In summer 2013, the band entered the weekdays-trip” crossing the pines In Chattanooga, Tennessee, in the mountains of northern Georgia, checking for inspiration, using the turn experiences sentiments, all arrangements to offer life to tunes that were made. Different things like outdoors and climbing Appalachian Trail ", the four searched for refuge and asylum in a hotel in Hawk Mountain, Georgia, where they have to "lose correspondence with the world, and to dodge them, with them."Where, They Also saw "spaghetti praiseworthy Western films and Kung Fu calm "while conforming a kind of creating" oval (essayist) Robert Frost and researcher Henry David Thoreau "."This is wonderful," said Gonzales In a suitable contribution in 2015 meeting with All Access Music, "Leaving our lives full and devastate reality ... create a tune with his associates as could sensibly be normal, you can't hint at change than some other. "
Band owes quite a bit of their time
In the wild, to guarantee that there is no experience not checked and prepared. "art implies the elucidation of genuine encounters, "they contemplated," We constantly; so we write constantly. The views of the mountains always seems to boost particular kind of song the time when we all were competing with others for the Appalachian Trail, running and jumping boulders, gaps, and holes the feeling of abandonment that there must be when jumping over a waterfalls, or sliding down on a natural rock slide ... all they did on this trip made it into the records. ""We could not wait to get into the studio." Barrios said continuation of enterprise on the band's narrative The Making of Costa Rica, "the nervousness that we are going to Chattanooga and seeing.
All that we have done we are blasting ". The entire band appeared to lead itself not as artisans, but rather Storytellers: remaining some time recently. The crowd with the desire to share their stories with anyone who is ready to listen - and most of the audience that had sit up slightly straight to show that they are attentive audience it was a great treat to watch them again; It was easy to see that they love their songs as they enjoy playing them with us, not how many times you may have done in the Tour. Members of an account set up to meet him, even when their music voices weave the fabric of the room, so many things happening immediately: the beat of the music, the heads nodding to the rhythm and turning on the quality or launching a mixture of different materials, fingers and fists flying, feet hardly stay still. The Experience is too much to contain at a yet it is, especially appealing to many cloying - in fact, I am enjoying everything all.
