1QI: Teen Death, Seagulls, Gypsy Eyes and His Dream of Lions

Welcome to our almost daily quickie Q&A feature: One Question Interviews. Follow us at facebook or twitter and we'll post one interview every Monday-Thursday. Okay, sometimes we miss a day, but it will be four each week.

After our social media followers get the first word, we post a wrap-up here at the site and archive 'em here. This week check out Q&As with Teen Death, Seagulls, Gypsy Eyes, and His Dream of Lions.

 

James Goodson (Teen Death, guitar/vocals)

SPB: Who is your favorite band to see live?

James: I think my favorite band to see live is AFI. Not only are they one of my favorite bands in general, they also kill it live. Every show feels special and epic: they always seem like they're giving it everything they've got. They do a great job of representing their entire discography in the setlists, and seem like they're having a great time. It's inspiring to watch a band that's been around for so long continue to bring their A-game live and still have fun doing it.

Dominic DiCecco (Seagulls)

SPB: Have people confused you with Eagulls yet?

Dominic: I called out sick from work once and it happened to be the day Eagulls played Atlanta, at The Earl. One of my co-workers had mistakenly confused my band with Eagulls and it appeared to him I called out of work to play the show. My supervisor caught wind of this and I had some 'splainin to do when I returned to work. Luckily, Eagulls is both British and popular which made it quite easy to discern between them and us.

Gypsy Eyes

SPB: What's your favorite movie sequel?

Gypsy Eyes: I'd have to say my favorite movie sequel is "2046" by Wong Kar Wai. It's the second in a trilogy of films, the first being "In The Mood For Love" and the third being "Days of Being Wild." The film is about a science fiction author struggling to write his latest book after losing the woman he loves. However, the story is so much deeper than the synopsis. The writing is great, Tony Leung and Ziyi Zang are amazing as always, and cinematography and set design create two hours worth of eye candy. It's easily one of my favorite movies ever.

His Dream of Lions

SPB: Assign each member of your band to a character in The Breakfast Club.

His Dreams of Lions:

Colby - Criminal - He thinks his hair cut is really cool (applicable to all members) 

Blair - Brain - He eats differential equations for breakfast

Seth - Princess - Like Claire, he too has never kissed a boy on the mouth. A fact he is often shamed for.

Jack - Basket Case - When he pulls his hair back and puts on makeup, nondescript ‘80s love ballads start to play. 

Nick - Athlete - He's the only one in the band that actually looks like Emilio Estevez.

Seagulls

The Rapture and Resurgens
Say-10 (2023)

While this is their second overall (if Bandcamp is up to date), The Rapture and Resurgens is my first time really sitting down with a Seagulls full-length. And my takeaways match with seeing them at FEST 21 recently. It’s heavy punk that’s big on singalongs, equally angry and melodic -- and usually both at the same time. I like the band’s high energy approach … Read more

The Royal We EP
Autmun & Colour (2014)

I don't get too excited about new bands anymore. However, Seagulls recently swooped into my radar and have me pumped for sing-a-longs. If you're a fan of the guttural vocals of Fucked Up and the melodic pop-punk riffs of Latterman, then this is right up your alley. The band's new EP, The Royal We, will have you fist pumping through the roof.The opening track … Read more

Gypsy Eyes

The Escapist
Noise Met Sound (2013)

It’s hard to go to an EDM festival without seizuring from strobe lights, going deaf from pulsing beats, or popping too many Mollies. Electronica combusts acres of energy, leaving no breathing room. This genre of trebley arpeggios, never-ending grooves, and overwhelming bass deserves a relaxing vacation.Artists like Actress, Flying Lotus, and Jon Hopkins are soothing alternatives for EDM, infusing jazzy annunciations and new age … Read more

Seagulls SPB: What model of guitar do you play and how did you choose it?  Steve: I play a fender mexi pbass with delano pmvc 4 fe/m2 pickups (quarter pounders on roids) and always a fresh set of 45-100 strings. It's super bright, but still meaty. My stingray was too stingray-ey … Read more
