Quick Hit Band Interview: Trends

Trends at El Cid
Interview with the band. Enjoy:

How would you describe your music? I think our music conveys a palette of emotions. A lot of our songs were written over the course of several years, and with each life experience our perspectives have expanded. Overall, it’s melancholic and reminiscent of late 90s music.

What is one of the band’s high or low moments and what makes it stand out? We spent a year looking for someone to join the band as a bassist. We’d finished writing the record and had to delay playing live because we were down a person. It was grueling setting up so many auditions and not being able to find the right fit. Definitely a frustrating and difficult time, but in the end, Jose was worth the wait. He’s a bit out there, and as it turns out he had responded to one of our ads, but forgot to reply when we tried to set up a meeting. It took a year for him to circle back. Things happen in their own time, apparently!

Own unique band info. Each of us always dreamt of being in a band that felt like family. I never liked the idea of just showing up to rehearsals and gigs and taking off right after. As individuals, we all really enjoy investing time and effort into building lasting relationships. We’re there for each other and I think our connection is something that translates well at the shows.
