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

ELLMATIQ P-TRO

I get this question a lot and my answer always seems to all come back to the “HIGH ON LYFE” CD Release Show with Potluck! This was by far one of the most memorable shows I’ve had in my career. I guess I feel like this was a huge step towards my career path. I love every single show we do but when you can feel the energy in the building like we did that night then that truly makes for one memorable fuckin show!

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

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

ELLMATIQ P-TRO

NO, I hate mainstream music with a PASSION! The reason being on most of these labels when you get signed, they change you. They turn you into the artist they see, and want. Most of the time your not even writing your own music anymore after you are signed to a major label. Yea the money is great but there is NO amount of money you could pay me to forget where I came from or who my friends are. This is me and this is what you get. Plain and Simple!

ATP

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

YES. I give about 60% of my success to the internet. It is a VERY useful tool. Facebook can take you to places you never imaged. Utilize it!
