The Bay Area Band Show Podcast Interview

April 20, 2016

Hi everyone,

We had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Steve O'Sullivan on his podcast, The Bay Area Band Show. The Bay Area Band Show is quite self-explanatory - Steve speaks with a number of varying Bay Area musicians. He was a warm and welcoming host, and we believe his show is something to pay attention to for bands and music fans alike. Special thanks to Steve for having us sit down and talk. 

This is also our first official public interview! So that is exciting. You can listen to our interview --> here <--. We also strongly encourage you to listen to his other posted interviews and follow who he interviews next. Who knows, you may hear some friends of ours.

Some other updates:

We've been taking it a bit easy this month as we've had a bit of a gap in shows for April. That said, the month ends with two back-to-back shows with Coastlands from Seattle, as well as Even Gods Can Die (some friends we haven't played with in quite some time). Info for both shows can be found pretty much all over the place (Facebook, BandCamp, here, etc.) Both shows will be great, so we hope to see you folks at one or both. As ever, writing of new material is coming along. Some interesting shit is getting cooked up in the ISLES lab, and we think you will like it once it is ready. 

Ciao until then, friends.

- Dev

A clip from practicing “The Long Goodbye” during our last rehearsal before sheltering in place. Can’t wait to get our sway on again some day soon. #instrumentalrock #postrock #bayarea #oaklandmusic

What’s up friends. Today, Bandcamp is generously waiving their cut off all music purchased on their site. Even so, we’ve decided to make all of our music, including our two lovely albums Remnants and Bending Light, Pay What You Want. There are some incredible artists and labels who could really use your support, so head over to Bandcamp via the link in our bio and have yourself a great day of music! #instrumentalrock #postrock #bandcamp #supportmusicians
#tbt to when we worked on some acoustic renditions of Remnants songs for kicks. Sometimes re-approaching something familiar from a different angle breaths new life into it. Hope you are all hanging in there. We miss us and we miss you. #instrumentalrock #postrock #ambient #acoustic
Remember being in a band and doing shows? That was fun. Playing live is more than half the reason we do this, and we’re all aching for that feeling. Someday soon. Until then, #tbt to us opening our Seattle set with “Bloom.” #instrumentalrock #postrock #ambient #ltdguitars #epiphone #mesaboogie #thekrakenlounge
Hope everyone is doing alright out there. We’re keeping our distance and taking the time to rest up. Before this started, we were working on new songs, two of which we luckily had a couple chances to play live. There’s a lot to get done once we are back in the game. Here’s a clip of us debuting “The Mountain” at the Elbo Room in Oakland. #instrumentalrock #postrock #elboroomjacklondon #isles
We hope all of our friends and fellow musicians are taking care of themselves during these strange times. We’re taking the time to reflect, be thankful, and stay inside when we can. Here’s a clip from our PNW tour at the Kraken Lounge in Seattle (we’re still stoked we played a pirate-themed bar, wouldn’t mind more of that in the future). Take care everyone. #instrumentalrock #postrock #krakenlounge #epiphone #ltdguitars
#tbt to our show at the Firkin Tavern in Portland, OR. Thanks to @dangerstuff for capturing Evan in his element! #instrumentalrock #postrock #firkintavern #islesamdthequestforthepacificnorthwest
The homies at Cult of Luna&rsquo;s show with Emma Ruth Rundle and Intronaut. Evan was definitely there, not photoshopped in poorly.

This Saturday night we rock the Caravan Lounge in San Jose for FREE. South Bay homies where you at? Here’s a clip from “The Long Goodbye” off our last album Remnants. We’ll be hitting this one hard, as well as some new tunes, come get it. #instrumentalrock #postrock #ambient #ltdguitars #epiphone
THIS Saturday we return to San Jose to perform with some dear friends of ours, and we hope to see more dear friends at the show. Not to be confused with our deer friends, who almost never come to any of our shows and prefer to eat grass. Anyway, we&r

Not to be confused with our deer friends, who almost never come to any of our shows and prefer to eat grass. Anyway, we’re playing new shit, it’s pretty loud. Come through. #instrumentalrock #postrock #caravanloungesj #bayareamusic #deerfriends
