Quick Hit Band Interview: Paradise Vultures

Paradise Vultures at The Satellite

Q&A time with the band (via Tommy Senter). Hope you enjoy:

How would you describe your sound? I would describe the sound of Paradise Vultures as kind of an amalgam of the brash swagger of rock and roll with pop sensibilities in terms of songwriting mechanics; combined with the raw expressiveness of grunge. Throw in a dash of glam theatricality and camp to keep it fun and sexy; not taking itself too seriously. We take what we do seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

What’s the story behind how your band started? The band originally started back in 2015 under a different name in a garage in Burbank. We had all known each other for years from playing with each other in different bands, and this band just formed organically from some songs I had started writing and had started jamming with Joe and Jace. In late 2016 we decided we wanted to put a little record together, and did so with the help our friend (and incredibly talented producer) Phil English. We kind of piece-mealed our record “Gourmet Carrion” together over the course of about 9 months, released it in August of 2017, and started playing shows immediately afterward. We’ve got a lot of exciting things in the works for 2018 and are looking forward to meeting the new year head on.

P.S. The album “Gourmet Carrion” is available on all major streaming platforms.
