Why this name?
We have always been interesed in soundscapes and yum yums for the ear. So we aim to acheive this via sound bites, samples and hooky pop ditties.Hence the name Ear Candy...
Do you play live?
Yes, mostly in the Twin Cities here in Minnesota. We love performing! We dress in a variety of costumes- from cops to nurses to nuclear waste collectors.Every Ear Candy show is a special moment!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Mp3's are a wonderful tool to introduce your music to music fans all over the world. Any exposure is helpful.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If they wouldn't eat our souls probaly!
Band History:
Ear Candy started as the brain child of Dawn Miller in 1997. After performing the music solo with various back up singers/dancers live for a couple of years, Carol Cunnington stepped up to the plate and became a co-conspirator with Dawn. After performing regularly for some time, they took a year hiatus. In 2004, dancers/back-up singers Sarah and Alyssa joined to spice up the live shows with their spot on choreography! Currently the foursome are rockin' the dance floor and infecting minds with their catchy pop songs.
