AlicebanD
March 2012 – Band Of The Month
What made you name your band AlicebanD?
I took my name, and then the fact that we are a band, and merged those two together to formulate the ultimate band name ever! But wait, we’re not done yet.. Instead of merely two words.. Alice and Band.. I put them as one word, then made the D big… which makes it a bit more symmetrical… creative genius I know… Let’s just pretend there aren’t 4 other bands also called AlicebanD.. one a lot more successful than we are…
Which bands do you draw inspiration from musically?
We all have different influences, and I wouldn’t really say we actively try to make our music sound like anyone elses.. But in an ideal world we’d have the harmonies of system of a down, the fun of faith no more, the soul of joan armatrading, the lyrics of eminem and the voice of.. someone else really good.. But we can’t do that, we can only do AlicebanD.. which actually works quite well..
What can people expect from your live show?
It’s hard to say really. I do solo shows as well as full band. The solo shows are a lot more emotional, and I always think they’re been a success if at least one person has cried. Full band is a lot more laid back and fun, we try to get people dancing and never take ourselves too seriously. I try to bring the words to life, because they’re the most important bit.. Overall I would say people should expect some music and singing and stuff..
What song would you recommend from your Facebook?
‘Who You Wished I Was’ is one of my favourites. It’s quite an old song.. but it’s pretty.. and I like it.
