Quick Hit Band Interview: Balto

Balto at The Satellite
Interview with the band (with Dan). Enjoy:

What’s the story behind how the band started? The band came out of a solo project/collective thing that began in late 2010. I started playing with Seth (drums) in Portland almost five years ago and that was really where Balto in its present form took shape - later his brother Ben joined us in early 2017. We've had some lineup changes over the years, and the move to LA has been wild - Carl started playing with us at the beginning of the year and it's been just a joy to have this group together.

For the band and its future, how would you define success? I think the goal will always be to spend our lives and the majority of our time doing the thing we love most and are best at doing - that being writing songs and playing them. This usually means having people listen to them, too. Though, ideally, you do have an audience for that music.

Own Q&A. Favorite Part of touring? Squawking at pedestrians from inside the van. Being vultures with sunflower seeds and light beer.
