You might remember Alex Band as the lead singer of alt-rock act, The Calling. With those days behind him, he's ready to rock, solo-style. Frequency Magazine recently caught up with Band (yes, that's his real last name) for a quick chat filled with new album news, advice for music industry up-and-comers, and his favorite companion, his...Ferrari?
Frequency Magazine: Welcome, Alex! As most people know, you were lead singer of The Calling. Now you're on your own and approaching it in quite the business-savvy way! Can you tell us more about your partnership with Zorbitz and the Black Star bracelets?
Alex Band: Zorbitz and I got together and created this awesome line of rock n' roll jewelry. We designed a line of 12 bracelets that each stand for something such as "luck" and "miracles" and each bracelet has a song off of my new album that ties in with what it stands for. So with each bracelet purchase... Read More »
Frequency Magazine recently caught up with Kate Cooper, vocalist and guitarist for up-and-coming Aussie-bred duo, An Horse (Grammar nerds, breathe easy: that goof-up is completely intentional. Embrace it!). Kate talks Tegan and Sara, a new album, and a seemingly endless list of tourmates that just might be closer to reality than she thinks.
Frequency Magazine: You're currently on tour with Tegan and Sara and will co-headline with Kaki King in April and May. What can fans expect to experience at an An Horse show?
Kate: Oh you know a good old fashioned show! I wish we could have a meal break mid set but I am told that most people don't get hungry every 15 minutes.
FM: Speaking of T&S, you've formed quite a friendship with them. Can we expect to hear a collaboration in the future?
Kate: Sara and I have a project called Two Sharks. It's in its infancy. Don't hold your breath.
Famous comedian Bill Engvall (Blue Collar Comedy Tour) has done pretty much everything as a comedian: had his own TV show, been in movies, recorded successful comedy albums, written a book and, his favorite thing of all, performed stand-up in front of a live audience. Frequency Magazine recently talked to the talented entertainer about his upcoming album, his comedic style and a hypothetical insult battle between two of his favorite comedians.
Frequency Magazine: Your new album, Aged and Confused, is now available. Why should people buy this new album?
Bill Engvall: Aged and Confused was a lot of fun for me to record. My previous albums have been about my kids and raising a family. Now that we are empty-nesters, it has forced me to go back and write comedy like I did before I had children. This material will speak to anyone who is getting older and having to deal with those side-effects of aging. It... Read More »
He's slowly stepping out from "Under the Radar," touring with the likes of Metro Station, The Academy Is, and Secondhand Serenade. Frequency Magazine recently had the quick chance to chat with Evan Taubenfeld about his album, Avril, and...Steve Jobs?
FM: Your debut album as a solo artist, Welcome to the Blacklist Club, is only a month away. It's undoubtedly an exciting time in your life—but it has been a long time coming. Now it's your turn in the spotlight. What message do you most want to convey with its release?
Evan: I'm not looking to convey a message. If everyone can find a song they like and connect to...I'll be happy.
FM: The album's first single, "Boy Meets Girl," just reached the one million views mark—due in large part to your fans. Congratulations! With the recent release of the fan-centric "It's Like That" video, we have to ask: What are your future plans for your fans—or friends, as you often call them?
Evan:... Read More »
