Quick Hit Band Interview: Bizou

Bizou at The Hi Hat

Interview with the band (with Josiah). Enjoy:

What is currently influencing the band? Currently we’ve been influenced by early 80s goth bands such as Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, 1919, 13th Chime, and The Cure!!

How has the band grown together as a group? We started this band in February of this year so we’re just getting started. We’ve all been in other bands and were friends before that.

 Own final thoughts: Members in our band have been in The Smashing Pumpkins, Wax Idols, Veruca Salt, Tennis System, and Light FM.

The Hi Hat: Bizou, Absurdist Fiction, Crook

I circled this night on the calendar when I saw that Bizou was playing. I've wanted to catch this band since they first hit the scene. The driving force was their drummer, Erin, who I follow on Instagram. When I saw them hit the stage, I realized that I actually recognized many of the band members. I was later told that the members of the band have played in various local bands such as Tennis System (Erin), Light FM (Josiah/Nicki), Smashing Pumpkins (Nicole - okay maybe not local, but she's played in other local bands that I've seen though can't recall the band names off the bat), Wax Idols (Marisa). As would be expected of a band with so much local music experience, they put on a top notch set. I only wish the lights weren't so bad for their drummer, Erin.

Opening up was Crook, who gave a very personal set. He opened up the night so the audience was smaller when compared to the rest of the night, but those who were there made it feel very close knit. Most of the audience took a seat on the floor of The Hi Hat. As if to emphasize the fact that this was a group of close friends, there was also a text message that was sent to Crook towards the end of his set that he took the time to speed read through.

Also playing was Absurdist Fiction.
