Quick Hit Band Interview: The Smoking Flowers

The Smoking Flowers at The Hotel Cafe
Q&A time with the band. Enjoy:

How would you describe your sound? We would say that our sound is a melting pot of our life musical influences. Thus when you experience The Smoking Flowers live you might feel we are all over the place genre-wise. A little bit punk, a little bit country, a little bit rock, a little bit bluesy, a little bit folky. Put that and our two voices in a musical salad bowl and mix it with our 20 year history of living together and playing together and you get a sound which only that scenario can produce.

How do you believe the band has progressed over time? TSF started off as a side project from our separate rock bands and we decided to do something totally different... a “folk” record. We quickly realized we had something special together. Over the evolution of the 6 years performing together, the folk quickly morphed back into what we really loved the most… rock n roll. Originally we played with a full band, but when we went on the road we decided it would be best to tour as a two piece. After that experience with Kim on drums, we couldn’t look back.
