Or, the Whale is steadily chipping away at the dream of playing music for a living. Since the San Francisco alt-country band formed in 2006, they've signed to Seany Records, toured the West on a consistent basis (this will be their 5th show in Denver in 3 years,) played SXSW, Daytrotter, and Paste Magazine in-studio, seen their single "Datura" get added to more and more radio station playlists, and recently inked a deal with new booking agencies in the US as well as the UK. In advance of the Colorado portion of Or, the Whale's current tour (4 CO shows in 4 days!) Luke Mossman (Achille Lauro, Hello Kavita) asked singer Lindsay Garfield a few questions about the San Francisco scene, constant touring, and the strain that can put on relationships back home.

Q&A with Slowness, playing June 22nd at the Fishtank!!!

San Francisco band Slowness existed for a full year and a half before being known as Slowness - or anything else for that matter. Coming together in the summer of 2008 (while guitarist/vocalist Geoffrey Scott and drummer EKG were house-sitting and chicken farming(!) together,) it wasn't until roughly 6 months ago that the band even had a name, and the name itself reflects the pace that certain band processes, such as finding a name everyone can agree on, can take.
