Welcome to the second edition
of ’10 For Tuesdays!’ This week we have put ten questions to the front man of
Brighton based indie band Fond Of Rudy. So lets get straight into the action.
When did you start playing
guitar/singing and what was the main reason behind it?
I
first started playing guitar about four or five years ago. Me and fellow band
member Paul came to an agreement one day that we would start picking up the
basics for guitar and eventually start making music. We both purchased cheap
guitars from local guitar stores and got cracking. As we were both at different
universities (St Mary's and Portsmouth respectively) we would set each other goals
to reach by the end of each month and that was a big driving force behind my
learning.
Tell me a
bit more about your music?
If I
had to put a genre behind our music, I would probably say that we mix pop,
rock, indie and a bit of reggae, quite a big fusion I know but we are still
figuring out our sound and enjoy experimenting with different styles of music.
We think it is important to be original and catchy. When we write we always
strive to put our stamp on our music. We like to make music that audiences can
dance to and be entertained by when listening to it, with the possibility of
inspiring them to get involved in music/take up an instrument and create their
own music.
