LittleBook: Why did you start a band??United Defiance: We started United Defiance in june of 05' and it all just flowed so well together and we all became best friend, with equal goals.
LB: How did you find each other??
UD: Noless and rich knew each other through friends and rich and dave knew each other from other friends and dave and joe have been best friends since grade school....
so it all just kinda came together.
LB: Where do you practice? What do you drink at practice? What do you do at practice when you’re not practicing?
UD: We practice in martinez in a machine shop where we practice drinking coors lite, water,jamison and non- carborated diet coke.....don't ask.
LB: What's the hardest thing about being a band in 2009?
UD: No one seems to like going to shows anymore, all the bands are in competition with each other, and they play there set and go sit in the parking lot with lawn chairs, instead of watching the other bands. its jus not like it used to be were all the bands supported each other and it was like one big music family..
LB: What's the best / worst thing about being a band in Martinez??
UD: Its cool cause its right by the water and within 10 miles of most of the local venues.
the worst part is all the scenesters in bands, the ones that dont watch the other bands but expect to be put on the better bills and how everyone owns them something with paying dues.
LB: What do you want people to know about your band, what are you doing next??
UD: United Defiance is currently getting ready to release our long awaited full lenth, do a couple small tours and get to know everyone that we can.
LB: What’s up with your CD where can I get it, where did you record it??
UD: The cd will be released on itunes and mp3 site first. then we will be releasing the cd about a month later. but will be available through amazon.com.
LB: Favorite local Band or a memorable show??
UD: We all have different syles we like. but we have been lucky to share the stage with some awesome bands: The Excuse, Taint, Rivals, Bullet 66, X.R.P.M, TSACivil War Rust, z.o.c, Kick Rocks, and many more, so its kinda hard to pick a favorite. our favorite show would have to be with D.I in concord, they were just really cool guys and the night just had a really good vibe.
LB: Favorite venue to Play??
UD: Well we have not played alot of venues we try to book but some promoters are hard to get to. our favorite would have to be the red hat in concord or 924 gilman st, but they are 2 different styles of venues but both alt of fun.
LB: Have you played Pissed off Peet's before? What do you like about it?
UD: No this will be our first time playing pop's
LB: Favorite pre / post show; food, indulgence or ritual??
UD: Well 2 of us indulge in alot of alchohol, but other than that not really
LB: Where do you think live music is heading??
UD: Unfortunately down hill, kids would rather watch videos on you tube and twitter and all that shit, i sure do miss the good ole days when you would go to a random show and the place is just packed cause it was a show and it was the thing to do. not so much anymore.
LB: How do you feel about people downloading your songs for free , do you offer free downloads??
UD: As of right now you can find our downloads for free on garageband.com, it does not bother us. the more the marrier.
