Seven Questions In Heaven With BANDITS
Today we're spending Seven Questions In Heaven with BANDITS' LuLu Demitro!
Describe your music for our readers who may not be familiar with you.
We play rock 'n' roll. We like to get heavy and use Baritone and distorted synth sounds. We like to get a dirty groove going on the drums so that you can dance to it. Just some heavy rock 'n' roll.
Who are your musical influences and idols?
We’ve all got tons of Idols and influences, but some that we share and that influence our music are Queens Of The Stone Age, Black Sabbath, The Kills, Mountain, Motorhead, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. I think its safe to say Lemmy Kilmister is an idol to all of us. Songwriters like Paul McCartney and John Lennon and Hall & Oates influenced us pretty heavily when we were younger.
What was the first album, cassette, or CD you bought with your own money?
The first album on vinyl I bought for myself was Dreamboat Annie by Heart. I still have it!
What was the strangest gig you've ever played?
We played a show once in Chicago, at this Simpsons themed bar. We got there and it was in a real shady part of town. When we started loading in, the owner said it may be a light crowd because someone had just been shot recently around the corner. Then we loaded in all our gear to their disgusting kitchen, and while we were sitting back there in their kitchen there were dogs running around. Finally at 1 AM we crammed on to a tiny stage after some random teens played for their parents, and couldn't hear anything we were playing. It was a bizarre night. We played for a couple friends in town and three dogs.
What's the first thing you look for when you hit a new town?
First thing we look for when we get to town is a good place to eat. We're all about doing research and asking locals for the best cheap food joints.
What is your current favorite guilty pleasure?
My favorite guilty pleasure lately has been listening to the Commodores on vinyl every night
Final question: You're the opening act of a music festival. You can get any five artists, living or dead, to perform on the bill with you. Which five do you choose and what song do you all perform as the final jam?
I'd want Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Queens Of The Stone Age, Tame Impala, Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys, and the Alabama Shakes. And we'd all jam on The Kinks song "Lola."

SONG OF THE DAY: Jocelyn And Chris Arndt, "Shame"
Here's Jocelyn And Chris Arndt with "Shame," from their album Edges, which will come out on February 26th.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
SONG OF THE DAY: Logan Lynn, "The One"
For today's Song Of The Day, we have Logan Lynn's new track, "The One," off his upcoming album Adieu. Here's what Lynn said about the song:
"The song is about love ending and finding yourself on the other side of the relationship... empowered, emboldened. It's also a reclaiming of my own space, not just in my personal life, but in this weird pop music world I've been immersed in for decades now, too.
For some reason I was nervous for my mentors and former labelmates The Dandy Warhols to hear the song because it is so clearly inspired by them and our time in the trenches together, but I sent it to them a few weeks ago and I got really sweet notes back from Zia (McCabe), Brent (Deboer) and Courtney (Taylor-Taylor), saying that they dig it, which was really exciting."
Seven Questions In Heaven With Captiva
Today we're spending Seven Questions In Heaven with Captiva:
Describe your music for our readers who may not be familiar with you.
You can call it beach rock, some may call it heavy metal. Depends on your taste.
Who are your musical influences and idols?
Our music is inspired by so many different bands/artists. Lately, we've been listening to a lot of Snowmine, Fleet Foxes, Mac DeMarco, Jack & Eliza, and My Morning Jacket.
What was the first album, cassette, or CD you bought with your own money?
Hmm... Probably KISS's self-titled album on vinyl. It's hard to say because we're all growed up, but it was definitely a KISS record. That is certain.
What was the strangest gig you've ever played?
We played a pre-SXSW gig in Houston last March at a place called Super Happy Fun Land. The name should tell the story. It was fucked up.
What is your current favorite guilty pleasure?
You're not a narc, are you? We're gonna take the safe route and say Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits from Whataburger. Try one of those with their Jalapeno Ranch Sauce, and say hello diabetes, because they're addictive.
If they named an ice cream flavor after you, what would be the name and why?
"Stacy's Mom." Why? Cuz we're what's going on.
Final question: You're the opening act of a music festival. You can get any five artists, living or dead, to perform on the bill with you. Which five do you choose and what song do you all perform as the final jam?
You have no idea how many times we ask each other this question. It would be a dream come true to perform "Hey Jude" with The Beatles, Oasis, The Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, and The Band.

Seven Questions In Heaven With The Aquadolls
Describe your music for our readers who may not be familiar with you.
Some songs are loud, brash, and wild, and others are more on the mellow side. It's music that you would want to put on when you're happy, angry, or feeling super badass.
Who are your musical influences and idols?
I adore Gwen Stefani and have always looked up to her since I became obsessed with No Doubt when I was a kid. My first concert was Gwen at the Anaheim Pond and her energy and voice totally changed my life. I also love Courtney Love, Madonna, Aaliyah, and Lolawolf.
What was the first album, cassette, or CD you bought with your own money?
Oops!... I Did It Again by Britney Spears.
What was the strangest gig you've ever played?
We've played some interesting gigs over the course of three years! One of the strangest but most amazing was our residency at The Goodland Hotel in Santa Barbara this last summer. We got to play poolside while fans danced around, and each time when the set was over, everyone would jump in the pool together! It was a mix of mostly fans and confused but entertained hotel guests. It was pretty awesome.
What is your current favorite guilty pleasure?
The 1975! But no shame. They are so good.
If they named an ice cream flavor after you, what would be the name and why?
Aquaberry. It would be blue and have blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and cookie dough bits mixed in. Man, this interview is making me hungry! (haha)
Final question: You're the opening act of a music festival. You can get any five artists, living or dead, to perform on the bill with you. Which five do you choose and what song do you all perform as the final jam?
Grimes, The Runaways, The Doors, Elvis Presley, and Lana Del Rey will all play their own sets, and then the grand finale will be during Elvis Presley's set when everyone gets together on stage and sing an epic version of "Jailhouse Rock," complete with confetti cannons filled with cash, a light show, and fireworks.

Seven Questions In Heaven With RKDN
Today we're spending Seven Questions In Heaven With RKDN's Matt Orr!
Describe your music for our readers who may not be familiar with you.
Alt pop right in the middle of Imagine Dragons and Walk The Moon.
Who are your musical influences and idols?
Imagine Dragons are a really big influence on us sonically and personally. We come from the same roots and we remember seeing them at a local club called Velour that they'd play every few months (also where we got our start). They were the nicest, most energetic, genuine people on the planet. Seeing them grow from pulling 150 people at Velour to winning Grammys has influenced us in more ways than we can put into this interview. Sonically speaking we really like all your indie pop bands like the Killers and Coldplay. I'm on a really big Tame Impala kick right now.
What was the first album, cassette, or CD you bought with your own money?
Coldplay's Parachutes.
What was the strangest gig you've ever played?
We played this show up on Ogden, UT (about an hour north of SLC) where we finished our set, everyone left and everything went great, then the club owner (who was a bit hammered) came up to us and said "I loved that so much, I'll pay you an extra $200 to play your set again." So we did, to just him and like 3 other people. That was super weird. Pretty fun at the same time.
What is your current favorite guilty pleasure?
Amateur go kart racing. Clark (keys) and I take it way too seriously. We're pretty good though! We love how competitive it gets. We've seen some fist fights at the local track.
If they named an ice cream flavor after you, what would be the name and why?
Pralines & Dick because we love Wayne's World. Shout out to anyone who gets that quote. Just kidding. Something with a stupid sexual pun like Karamel Sutra. Puns make dessert taste better because they put a smile on your face.
Final question: You're the opening act of a music festival. You can get any five artists, living or dead, to perform on the bill with you. Which five do you choose and what song do you all perform as the final jam?
This is a tough one. These five in this order:
1.) Coldplay
2.) Michael Jackson
3.) Adele
4.) Led Zeppelin
5.) The Beatles
And then we'd all jam "All You Need Is Love" to close it out.
