THE HIGH FIVE
1. If you were going on a cross country road trip and could bring a long any three people in the world, who would they be and why?
My boyfriend, my dad, and Bill Murray. Because I can imagine that would be endlessly entertaining, hilarious, and amazing.
2. What is one album that you feel has changed your life and how?
I would definitely have to say bjork’s ‘debut’, because before that it was all pearl jam and Amy grant, etc. It was definitely an eye-opening sonic experience. Nearly 20 years later it’s an album I still love and I can’t say that about any other records I was listening to back then. She changed everything for me as far as how I thought a singer sings, writes lyrics, looks.. So definitely ‘debut’.
3. Who are a band that you feel should get more recognition that they do, and why?
Brooklyn’s finest, Helado Negro. Roberto Carlos Lange is a force to be reckoned with. I’ve never see such a truly GOOD band get a crowd to not only enjoy the music, but grin ear to ear. It’s infectious and fun and great.
4. What is your favorite live music memory (performing or attending)?
I think it would have to be when I opened for Dirty Projectors last minute in London, on my first trip overseas to do shows. I had a good time playing, and was really blown away by their set. I was pretty dazzled and trying to figure out HOW they were doing what they were doing. It was great.
5. Finish this sentence: “Minneapolis is a great place to_________________________”
Stalk Prince? Just kidding.
