From First to Last Contest

Nxs · 07-25-2008, 03:40 PM

Well ladies and gentlemen, GH has something special for you this month! Ok, technically, October but still! We have two tickets to the From First to Last concert in Exeter! I am guessing that is somewhere in the UK.

Geography is not my strong point. Here is the the time and place the concert will be held: Oct 2 2008 8:00pm Lemon Grove.

From First to Last has signed with EA's music label so, you may hear them or have heard them before. If you have or have not, here is the link to their myspace site so you can take a listen for yourself MySpace.com - FROM FIRST TO LAST: New Album OUT NOW!!! - Backwoods, Georgia - www.myspace.com/fftl.

As I had to interview the drummer for this contest, which I suck at, you will have to interview me to enter! Evil isn't it? It can be one question or it can be ten (ten would be the max!) I will answer them in this thread and the one that I like best wins the tickets! Simple as that.

You can find the questions I asked below. Yes, I know, not the best but, I am new at the Q&A thing!

Who are we talking to from the band?

My name is derek, i play drums for from first to last.

When did FFTL start out?

The band started at least 7 years ago, far before i was in it.

Do you still have all the original or founding band members?

haha, not even close. but we have two, pretty much. matt and travis are pretty much the founding fathers, i came in shortly after and manning and chris are both very new.

Who are you inspired by?

we are inspired by a lot of people. musically id say everyone from portishead to carcass to queens of the stone age to leonard cohen to name a few.

What´s your political stance?

Its firm, and its a wide stance, and i do it with my arms crossed and my face bright red with steam shooting out of my ears.

What did you and the rest of the band listen to as kids?

ill give the time line the best i can remember(these are only the landmarks):

Bruce Springsteen-->Skid Row-->Nirvana-->Screeching Weasel-->Propagandhi-->Crass-->Disrupt--Carcass-->Burzum-->This Mortal Coil-->Blonde Redhead-->Bruce Springsteen

How did you all meet up?

we met up in florida while i was going to school there. i started a joke metal band with matt and travis and then they eventually just asked me to join fftl.

Where were your first gigs/haunts before you got signed?

we played a lot of shows in orlando at places that dont really exist anymore like wills on mills, but really, right after i joined the band we started touring.

Do all of you or any of you play games? If so, what are the favorite systems and games?

We all play video games. Most of us are pretty big on the 360. i love geometry wars, portal and bioshock to name a few.

What will it be like to open for KISS and do you think you´ll get along and party togther?

We just finished up with the kiss dates. we didnt meet any of them, but we had a blast.

If you could play one place on earth where would it be and why?

i would love to play in moscow. we just went to prague for the first time and it was incredible. ive heard that moscow is amazing as well.

Well if I was into that kind of music then it might help!

1). I dont like emo, rock, depressing slit your wrists, i hate the world rock music.

2). Exeter is a a nightmare to get to. £50 in petrol or £100 on a train each way!

3). I am not a student and therefore I am roughly twice the age of the core audience. I would be the grandad at the back pretending to 'big-box - little box' to rock music.

4). I wash frequently and wear clothes that are clean and fit me and generally like the World in which I live.

Here is the deal ladies and gentlemen. As the concert date is quickly approaching and no one has entered, I am going to change the rules! All you have to do to win is post in this thread that you want to go! That is it! The concert is October 2nd so, you have until the 29th to enter. That should be enough time to get the tickets to you.
