THE COLD STARES

How would you classify your music?

Rock and Roll, Blues influenced Rock. Southern Gothic story telling

Who are some of your top 5 musical influences? 

Muddy Waters, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Queens of the Stone Age, Free

 What do you want fans to take from your music?  

Enjoy themselves, and find some escape in the lyrics.

How’s the music scene in your locale?  

Evansville? It sucks.

When did you know you were destined for music? 

We’ve both always played music. Chris started piano at 4, and was writing songs at ten. It’s the only thing either of us have ever known.

What is the best concert you have been to? 

What do you like most about playing live?

Too many great ones to list. Soundgarden at Lollapalooza maybe? It’s the one time the time stands still and all the energy in the room becomes one.

Is there a song on your latest CD release here that stands out as your personal favorite, and why?  

We are happy with this whole record.

How have you evolved as an artist over the last year? 

It’s been an incredibly hard year with the shut down, and we are just really happy to have gotten through it standing.

If you could meet, play a gig, co-write a song, have dinner, have a drink with any band or artist (dead or alive) who would it be and why?  

Led Zeppelin, Hendrix perhaps? Muddy Waters or Robert Johnson. The greatest!

What’s next for you? 

We just finished a sold out 12 date tour in Europe, we were the first band on the ground there from the states post shut down. We tour in the states in August, and we play the Joe Bonamassa Blues Cruise, as well as Aftershock Festival in Sacramento California with Metallica in October. We return to Europe October 15th-November 5th for another run this time through Italy, France and Spain.
