SoundClick artist: The LooseKnits - A couple of guys playin' music..

The LooseKnits.. We're a couple of guys playin' music in the central north eastern part of Ohio. We have a unique sound and either you like it or you don't.. We also have a variety of sounds that we create. Just listen to our songs! Our instrumentational arsenol includes piano, drums, electric keyboards, synthesizers, computer generated effects, trumpet, electric and acoustic guitar, harmonica, vocal creations, guitar cases, trumpet cases, billiard balls, fingers, and sometimes anything we can find laying around...

Why this name?

Well, Andy, the other of the two LooseKnits, was watching an interview or something of the sort on TV. Some group was asked if they were close and the term "close-knit" or "tight-knit" was brought up. Andy thought about it and we, being the losers we are, decided to call ourselves the opposite.. The LooseKnits..

Do you play live?

We haven't played any live gigs, yet. I can't seem to remember the drum parts enough to even re-create a song.. Otherwise, we're sorta looking for some "gigs."

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Helps everyone to enjoy music. The computer and internet has helped them to discover this music.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Yes, of course. That is our overall goal. We would love to make music and allow everyone to enjoy it. I think it would be great if some young person heard our song and said, "I wish I could do that." Then he could bring music into his life and become something potentially great.

Band History:

Andy and I met each other when I was seven years old (born in 1987.) I started to take piano lessons in the first grade (age five). Andy began playing keyboards with me, I was a pianist, and he moved to guitar later. He took lessons briefly but soon realized he was picking it up faster than what they were trying to teach so he began to teach himself. Together, we've been playing music since I was 10 or 11 years old (keyboards in the basement.) The rest is still in progress, so STAY TUNED.

Your influences?

I know that Andy and I both like Metallica, 311, Weezer, The White Stripes, David Bowie, The Pixies, Rage Against The Machine, Nirvana, Jimmy Eat World, Cake, and a few others. We both have our selective favorites, of course, but those are some that we both love.

Favorite spot?

My (Sean) favorite city (out of the cities I've ever visited) is New York. I know it's cliché, but it's probably because I just haven't visited any cooler places. So that's my vote for now.

Equipment used:

Drums: Tama Rockstar 5-piece, Sabian B8 Series Cymbals, Vic Firth Sticks, Tama Hardware

Guitars/Equipment: Squier Telecaster Custom, Westwood SG style, Fender DG-11, ESP LTD V-100, Fender Stage 100 DSP Head, (2) Fender DT412 Cabinets, Peavey Transfex Pro 212, Proco Silent Knight Cables, Kordex Cables, Various/Random guitar picks

Anything else...?

I just don't want everyone to think that we're some band that thinks we're the shit, because we don't. We like our own music and I try to share it with my friends, but to think that I'm this great musician and stuff like some other local bands do is another thing. I know we don't play gigs. I know we're not professional quality. I know we're not signed. Blah blah blah...
