Q&A: WHERE DID YOU GUYS MEET?
TABOR WORDELMAN: Friends of friends, really. We had a lot of mutual friends. I think someone tweeted at me and was like, “Why don’t you hang with these dudes?” And then they became my best friends for about two years now. DANNY PAUL: I remember the first time I met DJ. My friend Sam told me about this show that was happening [down here], probably about three years ago now, and I ended up going. I only knew Sam, but I ended up meeting DJ ‘cause he lived at the place that it was at. My old band played a few shows at his place, and he’s been in other bands too. Our bands have all played together.
WHAT WOULD YOU CLASSIFY MEGAWAVE AS? DJ WYMER: Rock 'n' roll.
WORDELMAN: I’d say definitely a mix, ‘cause we all like a bunch of different bands, and I think we all bring our own influences to it. PAUL: I just feel like we’re a rock band. People call us a shoegaze and stuff, but I don’t really feel like we’re a shoegaze band.
WHAT DOES ‘SHOEGAZE’ MEAN?
PAUL: Shoegaze is kind of a thing that started in the late ‘80s or ‘90s. People would just stare at their pedal boards, because they had so many effects. But we don’t really do that. We have a lot of effects, and I guess we like a lot of “shoegaze” bands, but I just say we’re a rock band.
