Quick Hit Band Interview: Murci

Murci at Harvard & Stone

Interview with the band (with Curt). Enjoy:

How would you describe your sound? We want you to imagine a fantasy world in which Prince, Michael Jackson, Rick James and George Micheal might have hung up their differences and somehow met on a chemical-fueled summer eve behind the mixing board . . . at least, that’s how we’ve imagined it. There’s this element of classic club cuts as well. Pulled from crates of early 90’s Manchester or Chicago in ’85. It’s essentially made for the dance floor and your headphones. However, you choose to escape.

Outside of music, what are some of your other interests? Definitely leisure time. Definitely. Lounge chairs, pools, underground night clubs, bikini designs from the mid 70s, dirty gin martinis . . . that kind of stuff. But when it really comes down to it, it's music 110%. We spend a lot of hard-earned time in the studio, all night long, looking for that next floor shaker to bring to life.

Own Q&A: How do you feel about the local (LA) music scene these days? We definitely would love to see some of these creators pull their forces together. Especially those that are passionate, original and . . . nice. It's big business here, can't let anyone tell anybody you can't make a career out of it. There is a hierarchy, there is a bourgeois state and there's barely any financial support at the bottom of the hill, but hey, fire in the heart will burn down the status quo. We just wanna be a part of that.
