As a band do you guys have a favorite local club?
What makes it your favorite? How about a regional
club?
hmmmmm. The Fillmore is pretty awesome, but
we don’t play there as much as we would like. Amos’
Southend is a favorite for sure. Tremont Music Hall is
also cool for more intimate shows.
Let’s get everyone’s opinion on this. If someone ask
you for advise about being in a band or about starting
one, what would you say? Would you encourage or discourage them?
We would say go ahead and do it, because you will
have experiences that you would never have otherwise.
Your band mates become your family and its incredible
being able to work towards the same goal and share the
same experiences together.
What are some of your likes and dislikes about being in a band?
The only thing we don’t like is being sore the day
after a show..the rest of it, you’ve gotta love it.
Who have guys shared a stage with? Any national
acts?
Oh wow, there’s been a bunch. So many great local
bands, regional and national acts. Some of the nationals
are: Adelitas Way, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Saving
Able, Tantric, Eyes Set To Kill, Fit For Rivals, New Medicine, Otherwise, Zach Myers of Shinedown, Sum41
and more.
Most bands dream of making it big or reaching the
top. Do you guys have that dream or do you care if you
get a recording contract?
We are working towards taking this band as far as we
are able to. We put our hearts and souls into it and if we
come out on top then we would be ecstatic, but we do it
because we love it either way.
How do you balance your music with other obligations like school, work, or girlfriend?
We all make it work somehow! hahaha
So that’s about it any last words?
Thank you for the interview! Stay tuned for big
things coming up in 2015! New announcements coming soon. Thank you for the support taking the time to
read this!

What is the most important thing people should
know about Blackcat Sunshine?
We get together every week before practice and eat
dinner together. Talk about the week, make each other
laugh or vent about life. We go out together on nights
we’re not playing and check out other local musicians.
We really enjoy each other’s company – just five friends
who are lucky enough to have a musical chemistry. So
many bands come with “band drama,” and we are happy
to have none of that. We love each other and the music
we play and want the audience to feel that, as well. We
want them to have a good time because we are. And
thank you, bartenders, for helping us and the audience
“feel it” even more!

be heard and not watered down or become some pop
metal bullshit. So what ever direction let’s us keep our
creative ability and do the music we love is the path we
will take.
How do you balance your music with other obligations like school, work, or girlfriend?
Brandon-You have to keep the people in your life
that support and understand your dreams and cull all
the others from the herd,
if you know what i mean
Anthony-Band comes
first. No time for school
or women
Nate-You have to have
a set time/schedule to
practice no matter what
Ryan-Unlike a lot of
other bands, though not
uncommon for our scene,
half the band lives in
Burnsville and the other
half lives in Asheville. So
since the start there
