Why this name?
XXRUB - the cure-all "rub" in the elusive and exclusive novel called "The Rub".
Do you play live?
SoCal venues so far. We definitely live to play live! We'll play anywhere it makes sense!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The worst thing about it is that the "art of the album", the appreciating the entire cd in its art form, is lost in the "single" playlist world of digital/mp3 reality! Other than that, technology is amazing!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, we want to stay as artists, and let business people do the business side! But of course, we want to be in a fair, win-win situation.
Band History:
The band formed in the summer of 2008, and ready to release a full-length album by April 2009. We don't mess around!
Your influences?
U2, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Jeff Buckley, Queen, The Police among many many others. We like to mix things up, and we're really big fans of music
Favorite spot?
Los Angeles- our home town, but we'll play anywhere.
Anything else...?
We see music as an art form; to express and evoke eclectic depths of emotion; deep, shallow, smart, simple, serious, humorous, nostalgic, progressive, quiet, noisy, and all hopefully captivating emotions. Searching for new ways through sound to create these emotions is always the focus. Ultimately, communicating a positive, thought-provoking message is always the goal.
Soul is the goal!!!
