LF: I was wondering about the way that you perform. She just looked so cool, so we made up like like a scary story about it… Our songs either have a real life story, like something that happened to us, or we find inspiration from something and make up an entire story about it. Like, shopping cart full of chickens, and all-black clothing. I assume she either would take them to a slaughterhouse, or like a restaurant or something but she looked so goth. She would walk down to Chinatown to- I don't know where she was going, but she had a shopping cart filled with chickens. Me and Henry went to school downtown like near Chinatown. as an inspiration for a song?ĪD: I mean obviously “I Love LA”, but “Chicken Woman” is another one. Like Los Angeles is very inspiring to me just seeing like weirdos on the street and making up stories about them and stuff like that. For individual songs, they kind of get inspired by like-real things that happen in our lives, or people on the street. Those were the first bands that really made me want to start a band, and then from there my inspiration kind of grew. ![]() LF: What if your inspiration behind the music you create, because it's very specific? what kind of impacted you to start making music?ĪD: I don't know! I know every song is different, but like what inspired me to first start making music was definitely like- I don't know just discovering records that inspire me like, Ozzy, and The Runaways, and Kiss. I never know what to say for that answer because I don’t ever think “oh I’m a girl doing this” or “Is this going to be hard because I am a woman?” That doesn’t really cross my mind. How do you feel about that?Īrrow: I thought what she said was really cool. Substream: In a recent interview, Shirley Manson of Garbage said that Starcrawler is changing the status quo in regards to women in rock. I just think you need to put some thought into it. Henri: I think its cool, I mean, that’s how people found out about us. Substream: How do you feel about music being so accessible? Substream: What is one thing you would change about the music industry?Īustin: There is a lack of authenticity with modern music and it’s not to call out modern artists but is being made for the sake of just making entertainment and not for the sake of having something to say. Tim: Everyone thinks we do a lot of drugs.Īustin: It’s our fast metabolisms I guess. Henri: I’ve had three people come up to me today and tell me that I’m in that movie Call Me by Your Name. Substream: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve heard about yourself?Īrrow: A lot of people say I have this disease called Marfan where a lot of people look like me which is tall and skinny. Henri: Everything is a part of the art and you can’t leave that up to other people that don’t understand.Īrrow: We obviously can’t do it all ourselves so we bring in other people we trust. ![]() I trust barely anyone with aesthetics stuff. Did you guys have a hand in that?Īrrow: Yeah. Substream: The cover art for the album is one of my favorites. Henri: Yeah there were a lot of errors but they were good errors. Substream: Recording to analog leaves a lot of room for error so did you face any challenges with that recording process? He’s a cool guy and we recorded it live to tape which people don’t do anymore. Substream: So Starcrawler released your self-titled debut album earlier this year which was produced by Ryan Adams. He was only supposed to play a couple shows and now he’s permanent. Then I met Henri at school so the three of us started playing and then I called my friend Tim to play bass. It was just us jamming and we really didn’t know what to do because we didn’t have anyone else to play with that we really liked. Substream was able to sit down with the band after their set at Voodoo to discuss the new album, working with Ryan Adams and the state of the music industry.Īrrow: Me and Austin started it first. In just three short years, singer Arrow De Wilde, guitarist Henri Cash, Bassist Tim Franco and drummer Austin Smith have gone from playing small Cali bars to huge festivals like Reading Festival, CalJam and most recently Voodoo Fest in New Orleans. ![]() based rockers Starcrawler to new heights. A “no fucks given” attitude accompanied by an in-your-face stage presence complete with good old fashioned punk rock blood spitting is propelling L.A.
