03Interview
Name, where are you from?
Cruza, from Orlando, FL and San Diego, CA.
Describe your style in three words?
(Between the 3 of us): Preppy, grungy, vintage.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Kid Cudi in ATL 2013. You could just feel the love in the atmosphere and everyone was on the same page.
If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history?
Gorillaz and Childish Gambino.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
The subcultures within the religion we were raised in, skate culture, and UK music culture.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Jesus; we have a lot of questions.
Of all the venues you’ve played, which is your favourite?
We formed during lockdown so we haven't played any venues as of yet, but we'd love to play the Observatory in Santa Ana.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Definitely Jai Paul. A lot of the sounds in popular music today can be traced back to him.
