Mingling with SOCIETY SOCIETY
The public’s perception of a nationwide
tour is a band traveling around the country
in a luxurious tour bus with a bed for every
band member. This is not the case with
Tulsa natives SOCIETY SOCIETY.
Band members include Jordan, the
drummer, Joe Myself, the guitarist, Devo
McFarlene, the vocalist, Chris Riddles, the
bassist, and William Vickers, the guitarist.
The rock and hip-hop group is currently
traveling the country in an RV purchased
by Devo. Seven men in one small RV
makes for some incredible stories.
We arranged an interview with the band
at the Los Angeles Zoo in Glendale,
California, a day after their show at the
Whisky A Go Go on January 22nd.
Society Society was formed by
Joe, William, and Devo who
originally played in a punk band.
“We got to know Chris and
Jordan from their bands and then
eventually decided to start playing
together,” Joe said.
While labeled as hip-hop and
punk, Society Society played a few
reggae songs during their set at
the Whisky A Go Go.
“This is an eclectic mix, if someone
has an idea we just go with it,”
Chris said.
