Kymberley Kennedy Online Interview

Hey everyone!

Here's an interview I got to conduct with a good college friend of mine Kymberely Kennedy as well as the rest of the members of her band. Read what the band members have to say on their formation of a band to what their future plans are. Hopefully you'll enjoy their sense of humour too! Here's the answers to the questions that I asked them: 

How did you guys meet one another?

Dave: I bundled them all into the back of a van and drove to London ...true story.

Miles: Through the wonders of the Internet! Girl needs guitarist. Girl gets her dreams answered.

Andrew: At a swingers party

Kymberley: You wish it was a swingers party! I've known Andrew for years and I met Michaela and Dave through mutual friends. What Miles said is true through. We met through an advert I posted online for a guitarist and the rest, as they say, is history.

How would you describe the music that your band creates? 

Miles: This is the hardest question! Soul-y funky alternative R&B. Add that as a genre iTunes...

Andrew: A mixture of R&B with an electronic vibe

Kymberley: Pretty much exactly that.

What are some of the themes and messages that come across in your songs? 

Miles: That in the middle of a blackout you shouldn't get smothered in gravy. 

Kymberley: *laughs* The lyric is 'craving' not 'gravy'! I think a lot of the songs have similar themes of  love, sex, regret and sorrow. You can write a lot with just those 4 topics.

What are your plans for 2015? 

Miles: Festivals and radio! And videos.... Acoustic ones.

Andrew: Lots of gigging around the country and building on our fan base

Kymberley: We've got some live sessions coming up in August, plus some shows on festival circuit. We've got a showcase at The Garage, London in September and we've just released an EP, All I Wanted. There'll be another two EPs out later this year alongside the release of our first official music video.

Where can people find you on social media? 

Kymberley: We're pretty much everywhere so people are welcome to Google us.

Miles: Yeah, you can find us anywhere, we're everywhere!

Finally, if there was only one album that you could listen to for the rest of your life which one would you choose and why? 

Miles: A weekend in the city by a Bloc Party.

To me it signifies how lyrics can be so well complimented by atmospherics from a band.

Andrew: Tough question , probably an album by Led Zeppelin or the Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Kymberley: Alanis Morissette- Jagged Little Pill

Thank you to Kym and the band members from taking time out of their busy lives to answer these questions. If any other band is interested in being featured in this blog please email rachelcolley@msn.com and I will send over the questions.
