Over
Dark electonic pop goth duo.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Alexander Ashenden and N.R.K met in a chance encounter in New Orleans. Ash convinced N.R.K. (a drummer at the time) to leave the band he was in and join Alex's. N.R.K. moved to Colorado to attend school at Colorado College and Ash came along for the ride. Rather than forming another standard bass/drums/guitar/vox based band, they indulged in electronic gear that allows them to create and play the music themselves.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We tour regularly. Although the band is solid in the studio, we really shine live, it's just the two of us, but it's still vibrant and energetic, both of us singing, oftentimes both of us playing very heavy guitars or flooding the senses with multiple synths. And our live shows are a celebration of the audience as much as the band, we like to be part of the party not the center of it.
Your musical influences
Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, The Smiths, The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, and a ton of electronic music.
What equipment do you use?
Lots of machines and computer based sound creators.
Anything else?
Music is the most noble of all the arts. It's a universal language that transcends cultural bias, whether in Africa or Asia or North America, music is prevalent in every culture known to man, and regardless of what the music is, all humans can relate on some level.
