OC Concert Guide had a chat with lead singer, Brad Lodge, to see how the band felt about this years OC Music Awards.
OCCG: Do you feel you have a lot of support fro your show?
BL: We have been able to find a fan base, after the first record it was easier to have one. It’s a nice intimate room. We look forward to playing for our fans again.
OCCG: How does it feel to be playing for the OC Music awards?
BL: I attended the first awards, and yes I will be at all the shows. It is
fun being apart of this, you get to see all of the bands you never knew existed in the local area.
OCCG: Any bands we should keep an eye out for?
BL: You should watch out for The Devious Means they are awesome and great people overall.
OCCG: This isn’t your first time being selected to play the OC Music Awards, what have the past experiences been like?
BL: It has been fun it’s a great time to play together with your friends and other locals. We are excited to play new music this time around. We recently did a full-length album. Our guitar player, Tim turned his basement into a studio and place to practice. We are a DIY band and the freedom is great, we can play and record whatever we want.
OCCG: What can we expect from a Midnight Hour show?
BL: A lot of energy, not trying to be too cool or embarrass ourselves. Mostly having a good time and draw the crowd in to be excited about us.
OCCG: What has been your favorite show that you have played so far?
BL: A year ago we played with The Devious Means at beginning of last year at The House of Blues, Anaheim every time we play there the people know the songs and start to sing along with you. It’s also close enough to home, they have good vibes.
OCCG: What does a typical band rehearsal consist of?
BL: First half is mostly goofing around chatting having a beer. I would say the order is talking, beer, then music.
OCCG: What is your writing process?
BL: It’s pretty simple I think of a message or a word and I build a story around it in my head.
OCCG: What would be your dream record label to get signed too? Indie
BL: I would go with any label that is truly excited about music truly and passionate about what they do, in to what we do.
OCCG: Where would you envision your respective lives outside of music-oriented careers?
BL: I don’t know what else, I would be homeless on the streets, or work on my motorcycle as a hobby.
