This week I had recently had an interview with Sam Vlasich, the lead singer of a very great up and coming rock band named Red Sky Mary. He was nice enough to take the time out of his busy schedule, to do this interview with me. Please enjoy :
Personally I would like to say, I really really appreciate you guys doing this interview with me. I love doing this, so I would like to thank you immensely for this!
I’ll start off with an easy question. What inspired the name of the band?
“LSD is a hell of a drug…Just kidding. We were going through names and couldn’t find the right fit. This one just seemed to stick.”
Tell me more about yourself; What made you guys want to start a career in music?
” been best friends with Tom since I was two. Once he started playing music and being in bands, it just seemed right.”
How was it like starting the band? Was it hard for you guys to get your feet off the ground?
“We just kept playing our asses off. The more we played, the better we got. It was hard at times, but no matter the trial we pushed through it.”
I love your song “Gone”, could you tell what inspired the song?
“The lyric in the song, “I’m leaving all of this shit” sums it up. It’s about leaving everything that brings you down behind and doing what you want. Get out of my way!”
What would you say was your favorite album that you worked on? This also applies to singular songs.
“For me, it was River Child. But we’re of the mindset the best is still to come.”
What bands inspired you? I’d really like to know…
“There are so many great bands doing it right now! Rival Sons, Vintage Trouble, The Temperance Movement, Blackberry Smoke, Ghost, and Greta Van Fleet. I love what these bands are doing right now.”
What inspired the imagery of “ Red Witch”?
“Tom came up with the title for “Red Witch” and the imagery pretty much painted itself.”
What would you say was your most memorable Show?
“The first time we played the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom in NH. We opened for Queensryche. We had never played on a stage or a venue of that size before. I can still remember the cheer of crowd after we finished our first song.”
Are you guys going to be writing new material for the studio soon?
“We are currently in the process of writing new material. We can’t wait to get something new out for everyone.”
Are there any special bands that you guys would like to tour with in the future?
“Any of the bands I mentioned above. But, I would love to tour with with AC/DC, Aerosmith or KISS.”
