Why this name?
It's a synonym for innocent. It's what Christ has made us to be. We are a new creation, and therefore we are made above suspicion.
Do you play live?
yup :) My first show was saturday(Erica) but the band is starting this month...and I don't know when our first show will be.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Well, I think it gets talented bands out that may not have been recognized otherwise. over all, I think it's positive and I have nothing against it.(Erica)
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If we felt like we were suposed to. That might be fun...depends on the conditions and the label.
Band History:
Well, I met a boy on New Years named Joe and he just left his hardcore band "propagation" a few weeks ago because they all felt it was the right thing to do and God was leading him into something else. He and I talked about starting something. Last week I called up my friend Derek who's amazing at the drums and loves God and music as much as I do and he is really excited about this. When I asked him if he had anyone in mind, he said, "Remember Shane? Well, he play's the bass at Emmanuel Christian Center in Minneapolis for Youth Group." Stangely enough, that's where Joe goes to Youth group(along with 300 others) But it gets better, Shane hasn't seen me in about a year and we were just aquaintences back then but he said to Derek one day, "Derek, do you ever talk to Erica Sjelin anymore?" and Derek was like, "yeah, I just talked to her last week." and Shane was like, "Well, I just had a dream, and I think she was in it. Except the girl had short hair(last time he had seen me my hair was all the way down my back and I would have never cut it). Does she have short hair now?" and Derek's like, "Yeah" and Shane said, "I think in the dream she was trying to tell me she wanted to start a band." Derek was like, "Oh my...she is! She just called me about it last week." So the four of us know for a fact that God has brought us together and we plan on interviewing another guitarist this month. We're so excited for what God has for us!!!
