“When the time came to find a drummer they asked if I could quit school (I was 2 yrs in to my art major at Loyola Marymount) to tour full time. I was ecstatic! then the bad news of “cool you have 4 days to quit school, learn the whole set, move out of your apt, store all your shit somewhere, tell your family that you are quitting college to join some band, aaaaaand leave for tour” – most hectic 4 days ever but I loved it.” – Trevor Friedrich ‘On joining Eighteen Visions’.

Starting this blog project I had the wild idea that I could maybe even try getting some band members to do small, email interviews.However never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be lucky enough to actually get to do it, never mind having my first interview be with Trevor Friedrich who is literally one of my idols and was a member of my favourite band ever (Eighteen Visions) and a member of another one of my top bands Monkeys Are Machine Guns!
