Quick Hit Band Interview: Beers for Fears



Interview with the band. Enjoy:

How would you describe your music? We refer to our music as having Tenacious D sort of vibe, not taking ourselves seriously, with a focus on epic fantasy elements: knights, wizards, dark magic, necromancy and the like.

What are some of your favorite spots, locations, areas in Los Angeles? What makes them your favorites? Some of our favorite venues in Los Angeles are The Satellite, The Troubadour, The Hi Hat, The El Rey, Lot 1 [recently closed] and Casey's Irish Pub. What makes these venues our favorites are that they consistently host amazing local bands and touring acts, they each have their own unique charms and seeing live music at those venues never disappoints!

Own final thoughts:

Interesting fact. We were originally a two-piece act: Victor (Guitar) and Derek aka Dubs (Vocals). After our first show, our buddy Peter Anthony of Polaris Rose/Johnny Stranger asked if we needed a bass player and our buddy Leon, formerly of The Janks, asked if we needed a drummer! And thus 2 became 4!

Interesting fact, part 2. The Janks was one of the first LA bands that Dubs followed religiously. He discovered so many amazing bands through The Janks. It blows his mind that he went from being a fan, to being in a band with Leon!
