Arm The Pit - Kollapse

ATP

Most people will never know what it feels like to be on stage in front of a crowd, what does that feel like?

KOLLAPSE

Mostly it feels really really good because you get lost in the moment. We cannot play our songs without getting 100 pct. behind them emotionally, so we give it our all every time. It cleanses you.

ATP

Describe your typical stage show performance. What might we expect at your show and why we should go?

KOLLAPSE

We usually play every song we have and end up in chaos and feedback. It's quite loud.

ATP

Tell us about your most memorable gig and why it was so great?

KOLLAPSE

Our gig at 1000 fryd when we relesed our album was insane. People trashed the place and helped out on songs. It was one of the most intense experiences I have ever had. And people still talk about it. But most of our shows have been good and we have played with some really awesome bands.

ATP

Tell us about your worst gig and why it was so bad?

KOLLAPSE

We opened the main stage at the biggest place in Aalborg for rock music, it was a two day festival. We hadn't really played any real gigs before that and we where nervous because the stage was huge and people at that place generally go for more of an indie rock sound, even the sound people haha. It wasn't a total disaster and we grew alot as a band from that experience.

ATP

Tell Us About Your Dream Gig, who you'd like to play with, where?

KOLLAPSE

I'd love to play the Alerta Antifascista fest at some point. But playing the states with Amenra or Rise and Fall would be pretty okay haha.

ATP

Do you believe commercial/mainstream music has had a negative effect on new music, why or why not?

KOLLAPSE

I don't care. Mainstream is business. Music videos and big money isn't about anything real in my opinion. The "underground" is alive and well as it always has been.

ATP

Has the internet really been helpful to your promotion, why or why not?

KOLLAPSE

the internet is a good tool for promoting gigs and sharing music. The downside is that it can get pretty anti social and impersonal at times.

ATP

Can you name a few of your favorite places on the web for band promotions?

KOLLAPSE

not really.

ATP

Do you have a website, tell us about it?

KOLLAPSE

We have a facebook page, an online store and a band camp page.

ATP

Do you have a street team and how can you join?

KOLLAPSE

No...we will never have one.

ATP

Are you looking to get a record deal, why or why not?

KOLLAPSE

Not neccesarily, but if decent people want to help us out with records, we will welcome it.

ATP

What are your plans for the future, in a year, 5 years?

KOLLAPSE

Just continue to grow as a band. We have added a fourth member who is yet to rehearse with us, but who has helped us out with percussion on stage. Adding nuances and layers to our sound, playing gigs and so on. We haven't really any ambitions beyond that.

ATP

Finally, do have any words on what Arm The Pit means to you?

KOLLAPSE

It is fairly new to me, but thanks for the interview.
