ILM: What advice do you have for young talented artists just starting out? And any advice for any youngsters on choosing the right career path and pursuing their dreams?
CHRIS: The first thing to do is to get a good live show together; good songs and to be able to play them well. We've never been a band that's super nerdy about sound or equipment or anything like that, but I do think it's important to have a live show that sounds ok. Obviously, this is long before you have a sound guy or tech or anybody helping you out.
So you have to work on it a little bit to make sure everything is coming through ok. Because, that's how you'll end up getting a booking agent and a manager to become interested in the band. And I do think those people are pretty crucial to making it past a certain place as a band, unless somebody in the band happens to be incredibly slanted towards music management type stuff and really wants to tackle that sort of thing. It's not to most people's tastes. I don't think there are many people in bands who have the stamina for that kind of administrative crap, and there's many hours of that ahead before success will be yours.
