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?
