Interview With Spectre By Chris

Great american rock band

Spectre Website

1.how did the band form?

Chris and I were originally in a band called Animus. When our bass player left the band, we took some time off to work on other things. After several months we ended up jamming with some guys who were trying to start a band. They were horrible, but the guitar player was good. I asked him if he would like to work on a project with Chris and me, and he was all for it. We started playing with a bass player I knew from the coffee shop I managed, and started playing shows soon after.

2.what were your major influnces?

Everyone in the band has very different influences, but since I write all the music, I'd say that our sound is shaped more by mine. Some of which are: Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Tool, APC, U2, and recently Loudermilk

3.if you could have a three band bill who would they be?

Tool, Radiohead, and Prince

4. what music do you class yourselves as?

Alternative/Rock (there is no right way to answer that question)

5. where do you think you will be in 10 years?

Touring as a band. I, personally, would also love to be heavily involved in producing at that point

6. what has been your best gig you have played so far?

Too many to choose from. DC stop of the Warped tour, Salt Lake City with The Mooney Suzuki & Loudermilk, and actually, we had one hell of a show last week at TT Reynold's in our hometown of Fairfax, VA.

7. what made you want to go out and play music?

I can't say what made me want to play. I just loved making music from a young age. Any instrument I could get my hands on, and especially singing. As for what made me want to go out and play: Billy Corgan. I wanted to do what he did.

8. what are your thoughts on file sharing and the mp3 format?

It's a great way for people around the world to hear your music, but people have to be responsible about it. If you are downloading our shit for free, please support us in other ways. You can have the songs if you come out to the shows and buy T-shirts, and bring your friends. If you just use it to be lazy, then you are hurting the artists you are enjoying.

9. who would most like to record a song with?

Prince. I would probably shit my pants in the studio though. That guy is fucking incredible. He plays 27 instruments and has a 5 octave vocal range!!! He also produces everything himself. Genius.

10. do you think the internet is good for helping bands get known?

I'm talking to a guy in Australia from Washington, DC. Yeah, I'd say it's helping.
