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.
