Hi, I'm Wilf Dieter. I did a project on my own just before I formed a band and recorded 12 songs. Some of these songs we will be doing eventually, but until then I have these recordings. The band I'm in is called 'Awake in a Coma' and we have a song on these charts called 'One Night Stand' which I sing back-up and Ian Giles sings lead vox.
Why this name?
Dieter is my last name and I'm playing all the instruments and doing the vocals.
Do you play live?
My band use to play at the open jam in Pilot Butte, Sask. and had a show in Regina but we just formed and are focusing on recording presently.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
For the corporations it is a bad thing but for people just starting out makes it easier and posibly quicker to get noticed.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That would be a colective decision for the whole band.
Your influences?
Jimi Hendrix is one of my biggest influences. Metallica obviously is one. Iron Maiden, Kirt Cobain, Chris Cornell. Slash and Stevie Ray Vaughn for guitarists. Can't forget about Led Zeppelin.
Equipment used:
G&L S-500 custom ordered and a Washburn WI-66V for guitars. Roland Cube60 amp. Boss V-Wah for added effects is all I need.
