MM: Sam, what’s playing on your iPod most these days?
Sam: So much! My top artists right now though are Rival Sons, Vintage Trouble, Crobot,
Monster Truck and of course, James Brown.
MM: One of the things I love about Red Sky Mary is the sense of humor and fun this
band has. I think all your fans need to know about and witness “The Rocking Dead”
and “Man Bun Mondays”. Can you tell us about that?
Sam: “Man Bun Monday” is a social media post we do every Monday. We usually do
some silly poses and create a theme around our man buns. We’re all about the comedy in
RSM. “The Rocking Dead” is a series of videos we create while “The Walking Dead” is
in season. We recap each episode by changing the lyrics of a song to describe what
happened in an episode of “The Walking Dead”. We’ve done artists and songs like
Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” all the way to The Cult’s “Fire Woman”. Once again,
we’re all about the
comedy in RSM.
MM: “River Child” was
just released, but has
been in the works for a
while. Any new music
on the horizon or are
you just concentrating
on getting everyone to
listen to “River Child”?
To m : W e ' r e a l w a y s
working on new ideas for
songs...but we're not
doing any formal writing
as a group right now. This
winter it will be time to get
back into the rehearsal
space and start
woodshedding material.
Sam: New music is
definitely on the horizon.
Once we get back from
touring we’re going to
start working on new
material again. We’re all
excited to get back at it.
