GETTING TO KNOW INDIGO SKY
by Jacqueline Jax

Teamwork…
is essential really, we have had people come and go and it’s sad when it happens as you become so close to the people that you play on stage with every night. The main thing that’s kept us going is the love for what we do, circumstances change and so do people’s priorities but we’re so lucky that the rest of the lads live for and love the music, so we won’t be stopping any time soon, we’re here for while!

Hide…
‘Hide’ is our latest single at the moment. (Sean) It’s actually about depression, I sort of got really annoyed with being down all of the time, most people think it’s about a person or aimed at a person haha but it’s treating depression as a person and shouting at it really. We recorded it at Parr Street Studio’s in Liverpool after gigging with the song for a few months. We have a few stories that should probably stay behind closed doors haha! There was an incident in the studio where Sean borrowed the producer’s guitar and managed to break it within 10 minutes, by the end of the session it was held together by a pack of Rolling Papers…. Sorry Marc. When we were shooting the video too, we had people walking dogs just out of shot, some drunked guy shouting out of a window and two little old ladies stopping us to see what was going on.so it has had a fun inception from recording to filming.

North Wales…
We don’t really have a hometown as we have members from a few different places now, but the band was formed in North Wales. The music scene is quite difficult around there as there’s not much call for original music, that’s how we ended up branching out to Manchester, Liverpool and so on. Never a lot to do in our hometown, which was mainly why we got involved in music.It started off as fun, then we realised we may be on to something as we enjoyed it so much.

The best place you’ve played..
Different gigs for different reasons. Stage wise would probably be the O2 Academy in Liverpool, it was strange being so far away from one and other, as the stage was so big haha. We’ve played some great shows in cities such as Manchester and Liverpool, as the crowds are really good and love music in those cities. We had a great show at LIPA , recently, which is the Institute of Performing Arts in Liverpool, which is funded by Paul Mccartney. We love playing new Places so we are all really excited to come over to New York in May.That will be a great experience.

The Pressure of Music Trends…
There is definitely! You see it with certain bands trying to move with the times or try to copy whatever is “cool” at the time. We don’t let it affect anything though, at the end of the day if we think something sounds good and we like it stays in, we’re just enjoying what we do and haven’t got time to be chasing a scene.

Success…
Big lights, massive stages and fame are amazing etc but is it honestly attainable in reality? If we’re able to play our own music an still put food on the table and live our lives that would be enough for us…. But you know, if anyone wants to offer us a recording contract we’d consider it haha!!
