Who usually writes the songs and is there anything/anyone in particular to peg as inspiration?
Choi: Andrew Ralph: Andrew Erick: Andrew. Kasi, If he writes it, he’ll be more comfortable singing it because, well…he wrote it and he can actually play around with the song. Andrew: There’s no particular person or thing I write about. There are times when I randomly think of this catchy lyrical hook, then write it down for future reference.
Love and loss, escapism, irresponsibility,
dreams and nightmares, ghosts?
Andrew: Pretty much. Hahaha. Sometimes I like to take a random word, picked out from a thesaurus or something interesting I had heard that day, and I build lyrics around it.
So, I’m guessing you guys already have recordings or videos you guys would like to share? Andrew: Time hasn’t been Actually Not Here’s
ductions, but it’s been nearly impossible, given all the schoolwork (education first!) and other personal obligations. We have a few videos of ourselves playing during a couple of gigs, and we do have acoustic tracks out but that’s all. Erick: “we’re not in a rush to make any EP’s yet, though. We want to refine our sound and keep gigging to find our strengths and weaknesses”
Where would we usually find you aside from CSB? Any usual gig places?
Erick: Danger Room! SDA’s 8th floor! Andrew: Ministop beside SDA, Taft, Danger Room Ralph: Ministop, Danger Room, where Am (Ralph’s Girlfriend) is. but no gigs at the moment.
Choi: What they said. Except for the Am part.
Finally, any words of wisdom?
Andrew: Art before money. Erick: Yeah, enjoy your music and stuff, don’t rush it. Like them on facebook! http://facebook.com/actuallynothere
