Losses
David Stevens and Cameron Wilkes. 2009.
Who are you? Umm….Cameron and David. Wait do we say the band name or our names?
Both. We’re Cameron and David, from a band called Losses. Yea.
What do you guys get up to? We play music. Yea I play the drums, that’s what I get up to. At practices and at shows. I play guitar, that’s what I get up to. And he’s good at basketball, because his brother’s good at basketball. Um, and he goes to school. David works. And no good at basket ball because I don’t have a brother who did basketball. It’s a genetic thing. I watch Cam play.
When you’re on the drums you’re watching him play too? Yea, he’s watching… well we kind of have to watch each other. Yea, a lot of the music is though the eyes. Because we don’t have count ins. Because they’re kind of 2000’s, and we’re kind of twenty ten new, so we’re kind of moving into that. We like to surprise people. Yea.
So you communicate though your eyes? Mmmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmm. A lot. Sometimes with sticks though, we don’t want to be completely twenty ten or else we’ll eliminate the people from 2009. Then we won’t have any friends.
What’s your history? There’s not a lot of history because we’re pretty new still. Mmmmm. How old are we? Couple of months. Like two months old so there’s not a lot of history. Show wise probably like a month old. Yep, so practiced for a month and it worked so we played a show which was…. AppleB. Yea which was at a flat before my other band went on tour and that worked as well so we kept doing it. Play an impromptu one as well last week because the other bands were taking too long. That’s kind of the role we like to take you know. Our set’s only eight minutes long for eight songs/ seven songs. So you know, if you want us to fill a hole…. I’ll re-fraise that.. take from that what you want.
Influences? I don’t know this one. Ok, lots of 31G which is a label from California, started by the singer from the Locust. Yea things like The Locust, Some Girls, Swing Kids, Charles Bronson, spaz, lots of power violence, and ah…. And punky stuff as well as lots of hipster wanky hardcore stuff.
What floats your boat? Umm… like what do we like?.. Hey, we did play in costumes. When? At the last show. We’re mentioning how playing in costumes gives you more elite points. And we did so…. Sorted. They weren’t matching though. True. Ok so what floats our boat… hrm. I don’t know how to answer that question at all. Pizza! Yes pizza. Pizza and skateboarding. Yea! Sometimes at the same time. If you can skate to get the pizza, probably don’t eat it on the way home because you might fall off trying to eat the pizza. Short answer, pizza and skateboards float our boat.
Any funny stories? One time we got five minutes warning that we were playing a show, probably less. Three minutes. Olly came up to me and said if you can get ready in three minutes you can play. And that was why we played last week, our second show ever. That was an interesting one, I bled all over Josh Bains snare, which I still have the cut on my finger from. I was borrowing it, and he’s very protective of his snare. So in-between songs I’d be like wiping the blood off, like licking my hand and wiping the blood off to make sure at the end of the set it wasn’t covered in blood and I didn’t get in trouble. And I bled on Dave's guitar. Yea because he smacked Gareth in the head with my guitar. Yea. And Gareth was walking around with his hand on his head because he was bleeding.
Where would you like to be in a week and a half? In a week and a half we would have finished playing our third show, and at that third show we will have our EP for sale. So…. In a week and a half I would like to have EPs. (Show was on 12th of November)
Where can people find your material? They’d go to JB HiFi, and if they couldn’t find it there they’d talk to either me or Cam. There’s a download as well. There is a free download as well. We understand people don’t want to pay for things. But people who do want to pay for things don’t care if they can get it for free elsewhere. That’s why real copies cost money, fake copies- don’t charge them.
So you have facebook or myspace? Nope.
Is there a reason for that? We have a tumblr. We have a tumblr where we update people. I don’t think its necessary to have a facebook. Yea you don’t stand out getting a facebook at all. You don’t stand out getting a myspace. It’s kind of cool being low key. It’s just an understated thing which is nice. So that’s fucklosses.tumblr.com or else losses.bandcamp.com
Anything else you’d like published? I thought of something funny, and gimiky, but i forgot it. Oh, rubbish that. The funny one eh, I don’t know about that.
