Quick Hit Band Interview: Dancing Tongues

Dancing Tonuges at The Echo
Interview with the band. Enjoy:

What's the story behind how your band started? We started playing music together in high school and formed our first band when we were about 16. We kept playing together in different bands throughout college and always found ourselves working on songs together that didn't really fit whatever project we were in at the time. We realized pretty quickly that the two of us would rather be focused on working on the songs we were writing together than spending our creative energies elsewhere. So, we decided to move forward as the two of us, writing the kind of music that we liked, which at the time, and still continues to be heavily influenced by post-punk, punk, darkwave and new wave. The two of us just clicked since we shared a lot of the same sort of influences and complimentary creative approaches, and we just didn't stop writing. We got to the point where we had written and recorded so many demos and songs that we decided to put a name on our project, recruit a bass player to perform with us, then start playing shows. We have kept at it and now we’re still here making more music and performing it!

What’s your favorite band song and what makes it the favorite? We don't really have a single favorite song and both feel that it changes a lot but if we had to pick:

 Kevin: Little Creatures because it's always fun to play live. It's usually high energy and gets people moving.

Alex: Bigger Picture. It is not out yet. We will be releasing it soon on our upcoming full length, but I like it because it touches on a lot of different aspects of our sound, but at the same time does something very different than the rest of our songs do. I liked writing it, recording it, and have enjoyed the times we performed it live.
