Orbs hit up Bottom of the Hill last night along with Junius and Disastroid. I love Bottom of The Hill in SF because for one it is a really small venue so you are able to get up close and can see the band clearly from practically anywhere in the room.
Along the walls you will see calendar after calendar of past shows, and you can’t help but be amazed when thinking of all the bands that have rolled through within the past ten years. The likes of Cat Power, Metric, Iron & Wine, Queens of the Stone Age to name a few.
The crowd gathered near the front of the stage, faces melted after each set. All in all it was a great show with some great bands and I can’t wait to go to Bottom of the Hill again!

Who are some of your influences?
Madonna, Prince, Talking Heads, Deep House, litchy .gif Animations from ’94.
How would you describe your music?
Cut Copy apparently.
How was the band formed?
Joe and I knew each other in sixth grade when we would fight in front of the lockers of louisiana public high school. We met Austin in the basement of the my berkeley co-op and stole him from his other band.
When did you start to play guitar?
I got in a boat wreck in 8th grade in the bayou by my house, and my mom’s friend was a swamp rocker that wanted to teach me some chords while i was bed ridden.
Where have you guys played?
We’ve played at The Fillmore, so many times at the Rickshaw Stop, probably our favorite venue. Just took a rad tour with The Temper Trap from Denver to Seattle, best show from that tour was at The Showbox at The Market.
What are some songs you would recommend?
Awesome blog with afro-caribbean mixtapes:

Describe the music making process.
All three of us are equally versed in live, logic / computer production, so usually one person comes up with something and the other two tear it down and build it back up.
What are your practices generally like?
We all live on the same block, so we’ll get together to produce tracks without any regular schedule. When we want to bring the songs into a live arena, we rent out a practice space and bring drums into the mix.
How has your music evolved over time?
We started out playing shoegaze with laptop elements, and as we became better versed in computer production, leaned more towards that method.
Who are some musicians you admire?
Wish i could crawl on stage in assless chaps like Prince or perfect a synth tone like anyone on DFA.
Music is…
trying to beat your own personal record in gymnastics / the best video game ever.
