Why this name?
Dreamwind is a combination of names from Tangerine Dream and Hawkwind.
Do you play live?
We rarely play live. When we do, it is at festivals in Birmingham, Alabama such as the City Stages Festival, New Art Connection Festival and Birmingham Improv Festival.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet has given bands such as ours a chance to be heard by people outside of the immediate area. I have heard bands on internet radio from all over the world that I would not have heard if not for the internet.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes.

The band formed in July of 2000. Gantt and Douglas have know one another since the 1970s when they both played in rock bands in Birmingham, Alabama. Douglas and Bales met in 2000 at a music store. After a few jam sessions, the musicians decided to form the group.
