NMF Preview: The Non

What makes your live show special?

 

We have a lot of energy, and we are pretty all over the stage considering we're an "ambient" rock band. We are probably fun to watch if you enjoy studying music and structures as well.

 

How’d you settle on the band name?

 

It wasn't hard. I think it was the first and only band name idea we've ever had.

 

What plans do you have for the future?

 

We're moving into a house this summer in Norman and are going to finish writing and recording our next album. After that, we're going to tour in August.

 

What other bands influence you the most?

 

We tend to be inspired by innovative music in general. Stuff that makes you think "how did anyone possibly come up with that?" is usually the kind of music that gets us really excited.

 

Who else will you personally be seeing at Norman Music Festival?

 

Man Man, because they terrify me and I think their music is nearly unbearable to listen to. That said, I think they will be great live for the same reasons.

 

Any memorable concert/tour stories/moments?

 

We had a tour with Ali Harter two summers ago that was fairly epic... as far as best memories, hmm. Probably staying with State Bird in Ohio. This band let us stay in their house at a trailer park dealership and we rode on our bellies on longboards. Tom hit a spike in the road and flew off and scraped up his chin really bad. He had to sleep vertically all night for some reason.

 

Best moment in band history?

 

Getting to play shows like DFest and playing in cities like Austin, Lawrence, and Chicago.

 

Favorite Norman restaurant?

 

I'm pretty partial to the Library. They have excellent pizza and the atmosphere is intellectual yet fun-loving and a little irreverent. Perfect for me.

 

Favorite band as a kid?

 

I definitely had a Sugar Ray phase
