Water & Bodies released their debut album, Light Year, in February of this year and they have been quite busy ever since with touring.
They are one of the bands performing at our benefit show on July 15 at The Doug Fir Lounge, and I thought I'd ask one of the guys a bit more about the band and such.
Meet.....Water & Bodies!
*****************************************************************
How long have you lived in the Portland area? - well hot damn it will be 10 years in June.
Give us a brief history of your band/project: We are 4 best friends. We've been playing music together for many moons. We still laugh at farts. Still trying to take over the world.
What’s the first song you ever learned to play? Me personally it was either Message in a Bottle by The Police or Hey Joe by Jimi Hendrix.
What’s your favorite local venue to play? To see other bands? I'm going to say Doug Fir is my favorite venue in this city to perform or see a band. I just love the vibe and sound of that room. I've seen a heavy ass band like ISIS sound amazing there and I've seen Kaki King destroy her acoustic in that place!
Speaking of other bands, who do you like on the Portland music scene? Portland is about to erupt! Kinda like Seattle in the 90's, but all the bands are a bit more diverse. We love so many bands from this city, if we start naming we're going to leave someone out then they'll be mad at us. We have nothing but love for this scene!
Tell us about a recent “Only in Portland” moment you might have had. I was at a first Thursday and I crossed the street passing a homeless man drinking a malt liquor beverage right in front of a cop stopped at the light. The cop did nothing. Only in Portland.
Finish this sentence: “I cannot live without_____” Music, Beer, and Sex.
