2018 Broke LA Fest Preview: Additional Interviews

Broke LA 2018 is just around the corner, Saturday (4/21) and Sunday (4/22). Three weeks back I did a post based on the first wave of band/artist announcements where I re-posted interviews that I had done previously with four of the bands playing the festival. Additional waves of announcements have hit and there are additional bands/artists that I've interviewed.

Here's are three additional interviews along with the date of the interview:

Flavia - August 2017

How would you describe your sound? My sound explores dark pop and futuristic R&B in an electronic fusion.

How do you go about combining lyrics with sound? A melody provokes an emotion which inspires the lyrics.

Q&A time with the Taleen Kali - January 2018

How would you describe your sound? Cosmic femme punk noise rock.

Other than playing in front of a packed crowd, what thrills you about performing live? Getting to share my soul.

Q&A time with the The New Pacific - September 2017

How would you describe your sound? We're sonically a super heavy pop rock band. We love really heavy music and great melodies in pop music. On our phone, you'd just as soon find an Acacia Strain song as you would a Carly Rae Jepsen song. It ends up as an almost Thrice-ish heavy handed rock sound. Hopefully the best of both worlds.

What’s the story behind how your band started? We started jamming 2 years ago and just started out as 4 dudes jamming for fun and it just kind of took off into this bigger thing and we started playing shows and doing a bit of touring. Now we're focused on bringing a message of awareness and action in a world that needs heaping doses of both. Times are crazy right now, we're here to take an aggressive look in the mirror and do something about it.
