Quick Hit Band Interview: Haunted Summer

Haunted Summer at The Hi Hat
Interview with the band. Enjoy:

What’s the story behind how your band started? The band started at The Echo's Halloween show in 2012. We put the band together to do an entire set of Animal Collective covers. During our last song when the rest of the band had left the stage and just left us up there for the encore, we did "Bees" together and the response was overwhelming with support for us writing our own music together as a duo. From there we wrote a few demos and the band started getting busier than any of our last projects from the decade prior, we have been very lucky.

You’ve played the Los Angeles music scene for a few years now. What are your observations about the scene? Things have a changed a lot, but there are still tons of great bands in town helping keep the diversity like Draemings, Livingmore, Dream Phases and De Lux. The venues are more diverse now too, so it's no longer a two venue town as it once was in Echo Park and Silver Lake. It's been great running into all these bands out of LA, touring and helping represent our hometown at awesome festivals together!
