11 Questions
Q: Describe your style of music, what bands would you compare yourself to?
We believe we fit into the stoner/doom rock catagory. Though we don't like being put into a catagory. We have been told that we sound like a lot of different bands from Mountain to Dream Theater(?, although we don't hear that one.) The best thing to do is listen to us on CD and to also hear us live. We are extremely loud. Much like Mt Krakotoa, which exploded in the late 1900’s and was heard 3000 miles away.
Q: What are your main musical influences?
Black Sabbath, Sleep, Van Halen, Buckethead, SRV, High on Fire, Deep Purple, Kyuss, Bongzilla, Goatsnake, Electric Wizard, Cathedral, wow the list is so long and totally incomplete.
Q: What/Who have been your biggest influences in life and on your lyrics?
We are a instrumental band at this point, but we are influenced greatly by space and the unknown. Also, all the beauty and destruction that the earth holds. At some point we may add vocals and the content will be about space and the earth.
Q: What's in your CD player?
High on Fire – Death is this Communion (Jamie), Pink Floyd – The Wall Live (Jordan). Like our influences we are always listening to many different bands and styles of music.
Q: What other local band would you pay to see play? Why?
Many, cause we love music in the live format. Definitely the Kincaids from Alma, MI because they rock out. The Nain Rouge, from Detroit. We agree they are the best band in Michigan, if not surrounding areas.
Q: What Non-local band would you pay to see play? Why?
I guess we kind of answered that one above, but some bands we have gone to see recently are Sleepy Time Gorilla Museum and Rwake. We are going to the upcoming High on Fire show in October. Check out our friends in Today I Wait, Full Frontal Loodity, If He Dies He Dies, The Pax Cecilia, Lex Vegas, Idol and the Whip, Battlefields and all the Saw Her Ghost Records bands.
Q: How did you meet?
Through our old band. We got tired of the bull and have wanted to do the stoner/doom thing for some time now.
Q: Is there an interesting story behind the name of your band? Who came up with the name?
I don’t know if it is interesting and I think we both have two different stories but I guess I (Jamie) did. I thought I mentioned it on tour with our other band when I was driving and saw something in a open field and simply said "I just saw a beast in the field" but other stories say it refers to …….a penis and a rather hairy crotch area.
Q. Tell us about your first show together?
It was April 28th at Rubbles in Mt Pleasant. It was incredible to have everyone out and show us support for this. We are not a popular, well known kind of music form and like I said earlier we are LOUD!!!!!! So anyone who sticks around and watches us are warriors in some form.
Q. What have been the high and low points of the band so far?
Our high points have been our couple of weekend tours that we have done and recording at The Woodshop Studio in Mt Pleasant. Dan Hubbell and Steve Gilray made it one of the best experiences ever. Search them out as they are really laid back, great guys. As far as low points, just having a hard time getting into venues because of our VOLUME.
Q: You are the first band to play a song on another planet for aliens that have never heard our music, you can play any song ever written, what would you play? Why?
I think that aliens have already heard us…..if not we might try Unchained by Van Halen, Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath or Blood from Zion by High on Fire.
