Blackbud Interview: Cristina


The first time I heard this talented band, I paused astonished at what I heard, hope. Blackbud is proof that good music still exists and that their are alternatives to the garbage on the radio. There song "Road to Nowhere"captivated my attention in a way only The Fab Four have ever managed to do. This band has a bright future ahead of them and their music should be a must on everyones ipod playlist. So check them out ASAP!

1) State a bit about yourselves.
Joe Taylor-Guitarist and singer, and the source of Blackbud's songs.  
Adam Newton- Bass, and depite the extremely friendly exterior lurks a  
somewhat angry young man. Sam Nadel- Certainly not your average rock  
drummer!

 2) How did you all meet?
We were young aspiring musicians, looking for a way to skip school,  
the band formed during school time.

3) How did you come up with Blackbud?
Blackbud is one of a few names we used in the beginning, over time the  
stories have changed, one probable explanation is that Joe was in an  
unknown location, and saw the reflection of a flower against the sun.

 4) What kind of audience are you trying to reach?
We would like to reach each and every person.

5) First song ever written together
That has to be the blues funk classic 'Do ya know' lol.

 6) Favorite gig/band memory
We had some great gigs in Moles Club in Bath UK, an underground cellar  
type venue.

 7) Who are your musical idols?
We have a wide sphere of influence between us, so I'll a very brief  
summary: Paco de Lucia, Jimi Hendrix, Dylan, The Police

 8) Whose currently most played on your ipod?
The only cool thing I thought came out recently was the MGMT album,  
but in answer to the question mostly the Beatles!

Think Quick
1) is the glass half full or half empty? Half full
2) salty or sweet? Salty Bazouki
3)blondes or brunettes? Brunette
4)pepsi or coke? smoke?

Hope you guys come to Canada soon!
We hope so too  We spent a few weeks in Toronto while recording our 1st Album, so we
have a connection to Canada that way. Dave Bottril was producing. The Drake
hotel was awesome and the café next door... we had a really creative time
over there.
