--I recently sat down with the 4 members of Selegna Sol to discuss their Demo E.p. (Produced by Tony Adame).From left to right they introduced themselves; Julio Herrera(Vocals), Christian Hernandez(Bass), Chris G.(Guitar), & Hugo "El Nino" Samaniego(Drums). The four seemed really excited about their demo; "You know, it came out better then expected" said Christian, "Yeah Tony[Adame] did an awesome job" added Chris G, "he was really chill and laid back which made the process really easy." "We we're surprised the songs came out as good as they did, considering we've only been a complete band for a few months." said Hugo.
--What do you mean a COMPLETE band?
"Well first it was me[Christian] and Julio, we went to elementary school together, back then he played guitar. then i met hugo at cantwell, and he[julio] met chris at keppal." "haha", hugo laughed, "i still remember when i met you[christian] fresman year i wanted to kick your ass so bad!" Christian continued "So i mentioned to Julio and Hugo about starting a band and they were both up for it. So we played as a trio.Bass Drums Vocals.No guitar. and we were like that for quite a while. we brought a couple different guitarist but no one seemed to mesh well."
--so what happened when Chris came along?
"Chris just fit" replied Christian, "he came in, we showed him the bass lines, and he came up with some stuff on the spot that sounded good so we kept him."
--What kind of bands inspire you guys?
"well the one band we all really like, we sound nothing like" said hugo, speaking of rage against the machine. He continued saying "like with julios vocals, they're very melodic and stuff, very jim Morrison-esque, And Christian gets most of his inspiration from the red hots" [red hot chili peppers].
--So where did you guys come up with the name 'Selegna Sol'?
"I was sitting at home, bored with a friend staring at 'The Battle of Los Angeles' poster from RATM and just said it backwards, thats pretty much it" said Hugo.
--Did you guys ever think about any other name?
"no, not really" said Christian. "Selegna Sol always seemed like a good choice so we kept it."
--So what can people expect when they see you live?
"A good show" said Chris G. "We try to be at our best every show like all bands should be. We try to give them something different each show.
--How many songs do you have in your repertoire?
"Right now...5 or 6" Said Christian. "and we're working on like 4 more" added julio, the first words he spoke all interview. "and if we need another song Christian will throw out a bass solo or something" said hugo.
--When Can expect more songs from Selegna Sol?
"First we need to finish the songs we're working on, then we need to get 350 bucks to record and you'll get some more songs." said christian. "We're selling demos, and trying to become working guys for the city and stuff, jus gotta save up money." said Chris G.
--Well thank you guys for being here and coming to be interviewed.
