Sundown city interview
Sundown City are a three-piece indie pop band with influences including mod-revivalists The Jam and modern indie-scenesters such as The Wombats.This year has already been a big one for the band, having appeared at the IW Festival and Bestival, not to mention a few headline slots at The Studio, Newport.Their EP, New Line, was released in June 2009 at the IW Festival and has had a great reception among local acts and the radio.Lovable charisma and an energetic stage presence is a huge part of a Sundown City gig.The mix of bouncy, catchy, sing-a-long tunes and louder, raw and in-your-face music will guarantee a memorable live performance, the band promise.
What’s your favourite song?
Simmo- I couldn’t really say that I had a favourite song, I enjoy every song we play. Because everyone’s different and I enjoy them all in different ways.
Jack- I agree with Simmo, everyone song we play has a different meaning and prospective which makes everyone individual
Who writes the songs?
Tom- we don’t really have a pacific person who writes the songs, we just play around with different beats and as a group we create a sound which we like and after we have found the right sound the lyrics just kind of flow.
What’s the best thing about being in a band?
Simmo- Well were all really good friends and we found something we all love, which we can do together for a laugh.
Jack- I just love being apart of something which is such a great hobby and such a good laugh.
Tom- I enjoy showing and audience what we can do if we work together it makes me feel wonderful inside when I see people dancing and singing along with the music we have created for fun!
What made you decide that you want to be apart of a band?
Jack- I didn’t really decide to be apart of a band, it just happened. We all really enjoy playing instruments and by making our own way of showing what we can do to people is a fantastic experience.
If you had to vote for a member of your band todo something crazy in frount of an audience who would you choose to do it?
Simmo- *laughs* great question, I’d probably say Jack, just because when we play live he pulls stupid faces anyway and I think he’d most likely be up for anything . . . . aren’t you??
Jack- *Laughs* Cheers mate.
Tom- Yeah, I completely agree with Simmo, Jack *Laughs*
How did you come up with the name sundown city?
Simmo- I don’t know really, we started off with another name, but didn’t give the impression we wanted it too. So we changed it to Sundown City.
Where do you see your self this time next year as a band?
Tom- well I think we have done so well so far and I’d be happy to still be where were are now, but we definitely want to make an album. We have started making it now, we recorded 6 songs.
Simmo- Yeah I think the albums a good target to head for.
