something to be said about a band that stays hungry
and raw that keeps the creative juices flowing and
makes them want to strive for more. I'm glad we've
never lost sight of who we are.
Where do you guys think you are in the
?journey? of Hemlock?
The Hemlock journey will probably
always continue. I can't imagine not doing it. I've
been doing this since I was 10 years old. It's the only
thing I truly love. I can't stand sitting still too long.
The 9-5 will kill you. There is a great big world out
there and I encourage people to get out and see some
of it. As far as Hemlock goes we constantly have a
list of projects in front of us that we want to work on
so that keeps us motivated and moving forward. And
the excitement of writing new music and filming new
videos and always trying to be creative and outdoing
ourselves keeps it challenging too.
It‘s late 2013, you guys are home from
touring, what‘s in store for the band in 2014, what
can we look forward to?
We are going to do some new writing
over the winter break. We've been kicking around
some riffs and tunes and even have left over songs
from our last album. Not that they weren't good
enough to go to album, just that we had so many
songs so off the bat we already have a half album
worth of kick ass tunes. Some of which we've already
performed live. We have a new DVD and live CD
coming out that we filmed and recorded at our Vegas
20 Year Anniversary show. So those are on deck
next. We also need to get a new video editor. Not only for music videos but we have so much footage (we
need to convert and get edited) that spans our whole
career. I'd like to see that get done next year. We
hope to head back to Europe and Ireland and eventually Australia. That's the next country we'd like to
tackle. And of course we'll be all over the U.S. again.
When the tour bus fire ups we'll definitely role to a
town near you!
