Quick Hit Band Interview: New Media

New Media at Silverlake Lounge
Interview with the band. Enjoy:

What's the story behind how your band started? A very American mix of fate and boredom. Zach Noel (lead singer/guitar) posted a Craigslist ad looking for someone. Jack Meighan (bass), answered. They immediately hit it off, talked about old Wilco records, and started jamming. Tamara Simons (guitar) joined as another guitarist who had a history of playing music with Zach from high school. Julien Nicolai (drums) joined the band May 2018 because we thought 2 guys with glasses weren't enough.

Outside of music, what are some other interests of the band members? Film, binge-watching, reading, corgis, word-searches, scrabble, a never-ending prison of watching the same Office/Parks and Rec episodes every night, graphics, visuals, sound design, video games. Riding trains, watching trains, thinking about trains.

Own Q&A: What is the perfect New Media pizza? Tamara, Zach, Julien: Pepperoni, BBQ chicken, basil, arugula, mushroom onion and baked in a brick oven with love, care, and “that warm fuzzy feeling.” Jack: I disagree. Too much going on. Perfect pizza is pepperoni and jalapeno, with no feeling, but lots of grease.
