Backstage Pass - Sic Waiting - Interview

ATP

For the record, who's answering the interview?

SIC WAITING

Jared. I sing and play guitar.

ATP

What is your band's name? How did you come up with that name?

SIC WAITING

Sic Waiting. Sitting under a 'sic waiting' sign at a hospital in 2000 picking my friend up from an STD test. Drop the 'k' and here we are with the world's worst band name.

ATP

So who's in the band and what instruments do you each play?

SIC WAITING

Jared - Guitar and Vox
Anthony - Lead Guitar and BGV's
Jason - Bass
Andrew - Drums
We have a number of people that play live with us because not everyone can tour the way we'd like, so the band is really a lot more than just us 4.

ATP

How would you describe your sound. What makes you unique?

SIC WAITING

Fast and melodic. Not generic like some things.

ATP

What bands have influenced each of you?

SIC WAITING

Tons. Rise Against, A Wilhelm Scream, the Flatliners, James Taylor, Strung Out, the Replacements

ATP

How experienced are you on the stage, a virgin or whore?

SIC WAITING

Huge skanks. 15 years of gettin' fucked.

ATP

How would you describe your shows?

SIC WAITING

Fun, a drunken party. Plenty of room to stretch out.

ATP

Tell us about your favorite show and why?

SIC WAITING

At this point they all blend together. They're all fun, and some have more people than others. What's fun is playing new places for new people that are already into the band

ATP

Tell us about your worst show and why?

SIC WAITING

The worst shows we've played I don't remember. And that's why they were the worst shows we have played.

ATP

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

SIC WAITING

I'd love to play Red Rocks with Queen and James Taylor. And hologram Tupac.

ATP

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

SIC WAITING

Nope

ATP

Do you have a record label and if not are you looking for one?

SIC WAITING

Nope. We're lucky enough when people buy a ticket or a record. We aren't really into asking for much more.

ATP

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

SIC WAITING

Same shit. Write, record, tour, fall deeper into dependency, repeat.

ATP

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

SIC WAITING

Arm the Pit has supported us for a long time and we appreciate it. I like that they are getting back into things, with original interviews and promotional ideas. Thanks dudes!
