uaOm If You Don't Send LOCAL COLOR VALENTINES ... You may never have sex again Open Sundays 1-5 Thru Valentines College Square Downtown 543-7392 SEVEN SIMONS • How long has Seven Simons been together? Keith: Technically we’ve been together since last January, the basic set-up with me, Nat, and Bill. Then we've had several drummers. But we've been making the same type of music I guess for about a year and a half. • The band started in Atlanta? Keith: Well, it wasn't really based in Atlanta. I guess it starteo in Atlanta and then it became scattered. Nat: We used to drive to Atlanta (from Macon) every few days and practice. • Had any of you had any experience in bands before this? Keith: Oh yeah, the Kudzu Midgets and...I won't mention the name of my first band it was so long ago. • Did those bands have any influence on the way your band sounds now? Keith: No, it’s completely different from anything I’ve ever done. I didn’t write songs in Mr. Crowe's Garden. Nat: There's really no influence for me either. Keith: He was in...what was your band? Nat: I really don't want to say it. (LAUGHTER) • So your sound didn't evolve out of them at all?
