Interview du groupe HavocNdeeD

How did the band get formed? How did you meet?
 -We (OB-one & J.Paul) originally met from dj'ing together @ a club in Salt Lake. We were both doing production on our own & realized that we had similar musical interests, musical backgrounds, & work ethic so we decided to collaborate...the rest is history as they say.



Who made up the band name? Has it a special meaning?

-It was a name that I (OB-one) had on ice for years that I had always wanted to use. We both agreed that it seemed to fit what our goal was musically, to create havoc indeed!!!



How do you prepare for your gigs?

-Our live show is very important to us so we rehearse every chance we get in between our track deadlines. Our ultimate goal is to have a complete live show where we create all the elements to our tracks.



How does the audience react to your music?

-We have gotten great response to our tracks. We try not to limit our tracks to a particular style so we can reach a broader audience. We try to create something for everyone, if you will.



How did you meet Skaught Perry and Theresa Joy?

-Skaught and I (J.Paul) have worked together for almost 10 years in various musical projects. We originally met in 2001 when Skaught's band came into the music shop I was working in and his former guitar player stole a guitar from me. After some ass kicking, we all ended up jamming together...

   -We met Theresa through my (J.Paul's) lady, Mary Mahan. Mary was serving Theresa at RA (Sushi restaurant) where they began to talk music. Next thing ya know... "Vindicta."



How did you meet your labels?

-I (J.Paul) have been doing various remixes/originals for "Dance Music Label Carrillo Music" for 3 years. When Ben and I started going full force, I hit up Rod (CEO of DMLCM) and "suggested" no more "J.Paul" remixes and that he needed "HavocNdeeD" instead. Thankfully, it only took 1 remix to twist his arm.

 -We started the "Play Me" relationship through Ben's hustle. When we started putting out tracks, Ben started blasting and when we eventually met with Play Me, we loved their overall drive, honesty and game-plan.



What can we expect of you in the near future?

-We have a lot of stuff in the works...tons of original tracks & remixes...& hopefully from those many shows will come about. We're just trying to get our name out there & pay our dues ya know.



What do you think of american dubstep scene?
-The American dubstep scene is young & unique. It's very exciting to be a part of something in it's infant stages & see it develop. It's definitely growing quickly & breeding many great artists each with a unique sound.
