Above Suspicion
Ok...it's happening finally. The band I've waited for my whole life. People with the same vision for ministry and music as me. I am so excited. We're starting practice in a few weeks. Yay!!! Praise God
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
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!!!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
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.
What equipment do you use?
A LOT!!! nano verbs and syths and compressers, a QS8...oh my word...you don't really care so I'm not going to list it all...I don't know what everyone else uses...
Anything else?
Thanks to all my friends and fam for your support in my dreams and aspirations and most of all thanks to Jesus Christ for letting me fall into the arms of grace every day-I'm nothing without you.-Erica
