Matt over at Earfarm has just completed his Q+A session with longtime Music Slut faves and After The Jump day-stagers (3pm), Locksley. Check out the full interview here. Snippets + MP3 below.Do you remember the first record that inspired you to want to make music of your own?
Kai: I would probably have to say Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins - I remember pouring over that album learning the songs, which in turn inspired me to write some absolutely terrible music.
Aaron: Help by the Beatles
Sam: Beach Boys - Surfin' Safari. I would listen and dance/run around to that album constantly when I was 6. I wrote a song called "Surf" on a Yamaha Clavinova. The song consisted of me pattering middle C and like G above and rambling "Surf, Surfin', Surf, Surf!", I am not sure I even knew what surfing was then.
Do you remember the first song of yours that got the band excited about Locksley's potential?
Locksley: We were all excited from the very beginning but I think the specific song that was a turning point was "Safely from the City". It showed our range and summed up how we felt as a band in New York.
Do you remember the first show in NYC?
Locksley: The first time we played in New York was at CBGB's Gallery (Locksley backstage at CBGB above). Oh my god that was hilarious. We have a video of it somewhere. We were not very good, and I think we played "Ruff Ryder's Anthem" by DMX. Hahaha!
MP3: Locksley - Don't Make Me Wait
