TYLER MAE
So you’ve just finished your first UK tour how was that? It was a lot of fun, we got fucked up every day and the banter was next level! Playing live shows is what it’s about. So to get to do it every day is a blessing.
Any funny tour stories? What goes on in the bus stays in the bus...
You’re in the studio at the moment. What kind of new stuff are you working on? To be totally honest, we’re just doing more of the same. We like to experiment with as many sounds as we can, so we’re still pushing on that concept really. The two new beats we got that are peaking for us at the minute don’t sound anything alike in regards to genre, and that’s cool with us. That’s how we like to do it and that’s how we’re gonna keep doing it.
How would you describe your sound? We get asked this a lot and it never get’s any easier to answer! There’s a lot going on with us, but we like to think it’s controlled. Our live shows and what we would sound like on your stereo don’t even sound the same. So I guess we just wanna encourage people to come check us out and make their own minds up.
‘Oh Boy That Girl Can Move’ was the first album you put out, how do you feel your sound has progressed since then? Shit, that’s an old demo! (laughs) It has come a long way, our sound now is under control, it’s grown up with us I suppose. The songs on that demo I guess were a group of ideas we had that we needed to get out but at the time, we didn’t know how to. The sound then was crazy, that’s why we didn’t tour those songs. The music then was almost like we had
to get these old idea’s out of our head and down so we could move on. Like, we had to try everything that we was thinking so we knew what would work and what wouldn’t. Oh Boy That Girl Can Move was kind of a blueprint for what we sound like now.
You’ve just uploaded some new stuff ‘She Said ft. Alania Gabriel’, ‘Frank 151’ and ‘Battle Cry ft Eva Lazarus’ what kind of reaction has that got? Yeah, again they’re only demos though, we’re not quite done with them just yet but the reaction we’ve had has been amazing. We’ve had a lot of positive comments about the new shit, at the shows especially. Frank 151 seems to do the business for us live, it always opens the place up! We were lucky to work with some talented people as well, like Eva from Dub Mafia, Alaina Gabriel, and then we had LAXX help us out with some production and mastering too. We’re in good company.
Can you name us some other artists that you enjoy listening to? Luca Brazi and Lost Generation, P Money, Blacks, Brum Goonies, Dub Mafia, people need to get into these artists, they’re killin’ it.
What’s the meaning behind the bands name? It was after an actress from back in the day.
How did the band form? It started in school as a Punk band, when Jones and Matt were about 14. It progressed from there really. People were added, people were taken away and now we’re at the stage where we’re at, and we’re happy with who we’re doing this with. We’re as tight as brothers should be.
Joanne Bristowe
