<b>Zachary Teman, bassist,</b><br />
<b>Tim Cook-Berry lead guitarist/back-up vocalist,</b><br />
<b>James Christopher Lane drummer,</b><br />
<b>Tara Lightfoot, lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist</b><br />
<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>2. What makes you different musically than other Orlando bands?</b><br />
<br />
Zach – “Mostly, the writing connection that we have within our band and the vast backgrounds of musical upbringing is what really sets our sound apart from those around us. We have finally decided that<br />
our “genre” would be classified more or less as “Think-Outside-The-Box” Alternative Rock. At the end of the day we are just another rock band, but there are traces of indie/folky influences, as well as pop punk and hard rock undertones. With that being said, I think we have been able to bring those elements together and create a cohesive “sound” for A Brilliant Lie.”<br />
Tim - “We try to challenge our listeners with unexpected structures and we rely heavily on ambitious lyrical content.”<br />
Chris - “We play straight up the middle rock and take as many chances as we can with it”<br />
Tara –” Luckily, we are in a situation where we can write as a group. Not only do we try to write material that our audience will enjoy, but also songs that challenge us as musicians. I think the outcome is a sound that is fun and unique.”<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>3. What kind of imprint do you want to leave on society?</b><br />
<br />
Zach – “Hope…nothing more”<br />
Tim - “We want to have a positive effect on our listeners. Our music tends to be more or less an expression of our recognition of our flaws, but only in a positive way because we wish to better ourselves.”<br />
Chris - “There is light at the end of the tunnel. There is hope.”<br />
Tara – “Hope, community, and creativity.”<br />
<br />
<b>4. ‘One’ word to describe your sound?</b><br />
<br />
Tim - “Radiant.”,<br />
Zach – “Quirky.”,<br />
Chris – “Rock.”,<br />
Tara –“Sincere.”<br />
<br />
<b>5. What style of music do you draw the most inspiration from?</b><br />
<br />
Zach – “I couldn’t stick to just one are as there are influences in all sorts of genres for many reasons, whether it be from songwriting, to performance, to style and grace, to legendary musicianship. I have<br />
personally been enjoying as of recently, bass work and composition from Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand, Muse, and Cake. Really groovy stuff that no one musician over plays the next.”<br />
Tim – “Alternative rock.”,<br />
Chris- “Alternative of the nineties. And true rock bands such as Foo Fighters.”,<br />
Tara – “I love anything creative and distinct. Artists who (to me) actually ”created” a sound of their own…such as: Bjork, At The Drive-In, Ani Difranco, etc etc.”<br />
<br />
<b>6. Your dream venue to perform in?</b><br />
<br />
Zach – “My dream when A.B.L. started was to play Orlando House of Blues. Since we are coming up on our 3rd time in a year performing there I guess I’ll have to pick a new one… maybe Red Rocks amphitheater in Denver… yeah.”,<br />
Tim – “The Fillmore: San Francisco, CA”,<br />
Chris- “Milton Keynes bowl in the UK.”<br />
Tara – “Hmm….I don’t know about a specific venue, per se. But I’ve always wanted to play overseas…like somewhere in Japan. It would be so interesting to share music with a different culture.”<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>7. Why did you choose that particular band name?</b><br />
<br />
Zach – *turns to look at Tim*,<br />
Tim – “Because we believe the worst lies you can tell are the ones you tell yourself rather than others. Being honest with yourself helps to be honest with others. Because of honesty, things like friendship, inspiration, love, relaxation, and ultimately happiness are made possible.”<br />
Chris- *turns to look at Tim*,<br />
Tara - *turns to look at Tim*<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>8. For Tara (unless there are more girls in the band, we don’t judge) how does it feel being a female in an industry dominated by male artists?</b><br />
<br />
Zach – *turns to look at Tara*,<br />
Tim – *turns to look at Tara*,<br />
Chris - *turns to look at Tara*,<br />
Tara – “I’m not really sure that it’s dominated by male artists. There are a number of great female artists out there….so from what I can tell, it’s a healthy balance of both sexes. Gender isn’t a huge factor for me when it comes to art, music, and expression. So, I guess it doesn’t affect me too much at the end of the day.”<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>9. If you could open for any of the touring bands who would it be?</b><br />
<br />
Zach – “Sick Puppies, Foo Fighters, Thrice, Dredge, Man Overboard, Modest Mouse. We fall in a weird in-between-genre category that’s been tough to place but kind of helps us reach different demographics of bands.”,<br />
Tim – “Foo Fighters.”,<br />
Chris- “Foo fighters hands down.”,<br />
Tara – “Hmm….At The Drive-In because they are my fav, and they’re actually playing shows again. Foo Fighters because our sounds would go well together (and I think they’d be super fun to hang out with). But I think we’d go well with a number of bands because our sound is pretty vast.”<br />
<br />
<b>10.. How important are fans to you? Would you treat the tween the same as the Steven Tyler generation?</b><br />
<br />
Zach – “Fans are everything. Without them we would have never left the local watering hole. We love what we do and the directions that we are heading in, but without reaching out to wider and wider fan bases we could not grow as a band/fan family. It’s important to us to be a fan of the bands around us and on tour as well. Being a fan of music and just seeing all of what’s out there can expose you to new concepts, ideas, talented musicians, fantastic bands…and all of this makes you want to work harder than you ever have before. Now tween or Tyler generation, someone who appreciates music or what you’re doing is a fan no matter what the age. Even if they don’t like what you’re doing and voice constructive criticism that’s all food for thought and shouldn’t be disregarded.”,<br />
Tim – “Fans mean everything to us.”,<br />
Chris- “They are the heartbeat of us. We try to give back as much as we receive.”,<br />
Tara – “I know this probably sounds trite and silly, but our fans are like an extended family. They are so kind and generous to us – from the folks we see all the time, to the people we’ve never met but who still take the time to come chat with us after the shows. We are beyond lucky. And the connections we’ve made with people because of this band are wonderful and genuine. As far as the generations go, music-lovers are music-lovers. That’s a beautiful thing.”<br />
<br />
<b>11. You have said your music is “thought-provoking” how so?</b><br />
<br />
Zach – “Every bit of our music from the melodies and lyrics down to the rhythm and structure has a ton of work put in it to keep the musicianship entertaining, but yet still easily accessible to mainstream radio listening.”,<br />
Tim – “We write songs about moments of specific emotional clarity or distress in order to explore ideas/methods of proceeding towards happiness and clarity. We would never write a song simply stating “I love you, I miss you” because we are more focused on things like “I made a mistake, this is why, and these are the reasons I’ll never do it again.” In other words we try to be optimistic through self-evaluation.”,<br />
Chris- “We aren’t a run of the mill band. Our structures are a little off the beaten path and sometimes it will take more than one listen to truly “get” a song.”,<br />
Tara – “We work really hard to make music that’s digestible, but not cliché. With this mission in mind, we create music, structures, and lyrical content that are relatable, but still interesting to the four of us. Lyrically, we like to explore traits of humanity…things that we can all understand, but don’t always consider on the forefronts of our minds. There are already lots of great songs about relationships & boyfriend/girlfriend issues….so we figured we’d take a different approach and write about what makes us all (and the universe around us all) tick.”<br />
<br />
<b>12. Now, if we dared you to tell our audience something weird or unexpected about you in 10 seconds, what might you say ?</b><br />
<br />
Zach –“My ears are two completely different shapes yet hardly anyone ever notices. FACT!!!!”,<br />
Tim –” We are fans of mischief, at least the kind that does not harm others.”,<br />
Chris-“I, Chris Lane, can go for over 10 minutes without blinking.”,<br />
Tara – “I learned how to drive a tractor before I learned how to drive a car.”<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>13. Do you have a favorite book/novel on your downtime?</b><br />
<br />
Zach – “Well I just started reading again. I read my first book since 9th grade. The book was Tolkien’s “The Hobbit”. I guess I picked it up because I love the fantasy of the Lord of the Rings movies and finally noticed a chance to read a book before the movie premiered. That way I could finally be THAT GUY… you know…the one that says, “Well that’s not how the book portrayed the story” as the credits role.”,<br />
Tim – “My favorite novel might “Ender’s Game” but I prefer films to books.”,<br />
Chris-” I will forever be in love with Brian Greene’s “Elegant Universe.””,<br />
Tara – “I am a big fan of books of poetry. My favorite authors/poets of all time are Denis Johnson and Emily Dickinson. So any of their collections would be winners in my book.”<br />
<br />
THANKS! We will see you guy’s at House Of Blues this Saturday!<br />

From the creator and former guitarist of the band ‘Chasing Thrill’, which I am already a big fan of myself, I’m interested to see where this new music venture takes Andy. The style is indie/acoustic with a quirky flair, his vocalist has similarities to <i>Paramore’s</i> Hailey and pop artist Cassadee Pope even a little Nora Jones. You can check out their cover of <i>‘Goyte’</i>s’ Hit ‘Somebody I used to Know’ and a <i>Drake</i> and <i>Rihana</i> cover @ <b><i>http://www.youtube.com/dearjealousy</i></b> Keep an ear out for their new EP that will be out later this summer.<br />

Chris - "Vocals" , Kevin - "Drums", Mike- "Guitar", Billy- "Bass", Brian - "Guitar"<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>2. How did you come upon the name 'Call To Start'?</b><br />
"Well back when we were located in Merritt Island, we knew we wanted to represent our hometown in the name of our band. Merritt Island can probably be best described where the Kennedy Space Center is, so Call To Start resembles the countdown for the engines to start. We were also going through a reformation so a frest "start" was also a reason to the name."<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>3.Is there a particular artist that first inspired you to start playing music as individuals?</b><br />
"We will probably give you the answer almost every pop-punk band gives, Blink-182. No matter what, everyone can love some blink."<br />
<br />
<b>4.How long have all of you been playing together? </b><br />
"Brian Billy and Kevin started up during the summer of 2010. During our reformation into Call To Start in February 2011 we added Mike, who was already a long time friend of the band. We went through singer changes and eventually got Chris November of 2011."<br />
<br />
<b>5.Venue you hope to one day perform at?</b><br />
"Well, this was a hard question, because we all have different answers as to where we would dream to play. But we think it would be awesome to play a huge roof top party on a city like New York or South Beach."<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>6. What is the weirdest/funnest thing that has ever happened to you while performing?</b><br />
"We were playing a show in our hometown of Merritt Island, our first show with Chris, and we got a noise complaint. The owner of the park came out, interuppted our set and told us we got a noise complaint. Chris went on to congratulate the crowd on the noise complaint and the owner (ex marine) yelled at Chris calling him a Smart Ass. Lol, that sucked."<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>7.If you were 'DARED' to do a cover of a Britney Spears song, which one would it be?</b><br />
"Her entire discography. We jam to her all the time."<br />
<br />
<b>8.Who would be you dream band/artist to tour with?</b><br />
"We couldn't come to a final answer. But we would create a tour with The Foo Fighters, Blink 182, and A Day To Remember."<br />
<br />
<b>9.What is the #1 song on your playlist right now?</b><br />
"Satisfaction by Benny Benassi."<br />
<br />
<b>10. Favorite candy? :)</b><br />
Billy-"Starburst"<br />
Mike-"Peanut M&m's"<br />
Kevin- "Swedish Fish"<br />
Brian - "Sour Patch Kids"<br />
Chris - "Reese's Peices"<br />

Lead singer Jessi has a great stage presence and is so exciting to watch her perform, and Joey seems to have a veteran style that screams that he belongs on that stage. Sadly though it was Chad's (<span style="color: purple;">SUAD</span> guitarist) last performance as part of the band... "We love you Chad"! You can catch Shut Up and Dance performing @ the FMF on April 19th and with <em>Chasing Thrill</em> on May 4th @ 7pm inside of <em>Bombshell's Tavern</em> in Orlando!<br />

Alternative Rock band <strong><span style="color: red;">Mr.Bella</span></strong> took the next set changing the mood of the room and the sound in the venue but keeping the excitment in the room consistent to<strong> <span style="color: purple;">SUAD</span></strong> as they engaged the audience adding to their rock solid performance they offer up a unique infused musical style even covering an unexpected <em>'Just Dance'</em> by <em>Lady Gaga</em> but a very good unexpected :)<br />

<span style="color: red;"><strong><em>Alex</em> </strong>(<span style="color: white;">Drummer</span>), <strong><em>Ali</em></strong>(<span style="color: white;">vocals, meladica,guitar</span>),<strong><em> Jake</em></strong> (<span style="color: white;">guitar lead</span>),<strong><em> Mark</em></strong>(<span style="color: white;">Bass</span>)</span><br />
<br />
<strong>2. I-Resolution, who was behind this band name and what is the meaning behind it? </strong><br />
<blockquote><em><span style="color: red;">Originally we thought about calling the band High Resolution, meaning you know in High Definition or very high quality. Then we decide to change High and replace it with the letter I- just to make it more reggae, more roots and culture.</span></em></blockquote><blockquote>3.<strong>If you had to describe your style and sound in 2 word’s what would you say? </strong><em><span style="color: red;">Positive Energy</span></em><br />
<br />
<br />
<em>4.</em><strong>As a band how long have all of you been playing/performing together?</strong></blockquote><em> </em><em><span style="color: red;">We all came on at different times. I would say that the band has been in around for almost two years but this group of players a little under a year.</span> </em><br />
<blockquote><blockquote>5. <strong>As a band Who is your greatest musical inspiration/influence?</strong></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><em><span style="color: red;">A lot of influences, Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Steel Pulse, Sizzla, Buju Banton, and that’s just our influences from one genre.</span></em></blockquote><blockquote><blockquote>6.<strong>If you guy’s had the opportunity to open for any artist of the past or present who would it be?</strong></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><em><span style="color: red;">Right now I would love to open up for Junior Gong and Nas</span></em></blockquote><blockquote><blockquote>7. <strong>What is your goal for this band?</strong></blockquote></blockquote><em><span style="color: red;">We want to tour, represent Orlando to the world, just spread good music.</span></em><br />
<blockquote><blockquote>8<strong>. What is the venue that you are most anticipating playing at one day?</strong></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><em><span style="color: red;">I’d love to play a big stadium in Japan, or Brazil.</span> </em></blockquote><blockquote><blockquote>9. <strong>What is the song you can’t get enough of at the moment? </strong></blockquote></blockquote><strong> Ali</strong>-<em> Si<span style="color: red;">mi</span></em><span style="color: red;">- <em>(one of our songs)</em></span><br />
<blockquote><blockquote>Now to the question’s that seem to matter the most ;) </blockquote></blockquote><br />
<blockquote><blockquote>10. <strong>What’s the most embarrassing song you turn-up and tell no one about? </strong></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><strong> Ali</strong>- <em><span style="color: red;">I love the theme song from the office, I blast that when it comes on</span></em></blockquote><blockquote><blockquote>11.<strong>Favorite Junk Food?</strong></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><strong>Ali</strong>- <em><span style="color: red;">Del Taco</span></em></blockquote><blockquote><blockquote>Thank You guy’s for the interview…<br />

Leslie Carter <3<br />
<br />
For those of you that were raised by the 90's and the early millennium era like myself this is a sad event as pop singer and sister to teen idol Aaron and older brother Nick Carter of one of the biggest boy band's of all time died suddenly this past Tuesday in upstate New York.<br />
<br />
Leslie was only 25 year old's and had let the world into her life when she appeared on <em>E's</em> <strong>House Of Carter's</strong> (before that thing we call Jersey Shore). Leslie will not only be missed by all the Carter fans, but she leaves behind her 9-month-old daughter Alyssa Jane, her husband Mike and of course her four siblings:(<br />

<b></b><br />
<b>The Cab<br />
</b><br />
Las Vegas created rock/pop band The Cab released their first album 'Whisper War' on April, 29th 2008, being called the 'Band you need to know in 2008' by Alternative Press Mgazine and featured in the list 'the 100 bands you need to know in 2010'. <br />
<br />
Crowd's loved the soulful/pop sound of their first single 'Bounce' and following with a collabertion with the powerpop band from Florida 'Hey Monday' with their song 'Take My Hand'. Now with the bands fresh single 'Bad' off their Sophmore album 'Syphony Soldier' (out now), no one will be hungry for a catchy chorus you just wanna turn up a little too loud!<br />
<b></b><br />
<b>The Summer Set<br />
</b><br />
Is an upbeat band that could probably make a cover of any random melancholy song sound liket the summer song of the year! This powerpop/rock band was formed in 2007 in Arizona. Might I suggest a quick listen to their song 'Someone Like You':)<br />
<b></b><br />
<b>Days Difference<br />
</b><br />
A quaret from Virginia that seemed to go through some crazy and unexpected situations that tryed to derail their musical journey, but the guy's kept going and were signed by Universal Motown in June 2008 followed by Disney casting band member's Jeremy, Jonathon, Micah, and Jeremiah to play Miley's backing band in the big screen make of Hannah Montanna. Day's Difference has toured with acts such as Plain White T's,All Time Low,We The King's, and Cartel, and their single 'Speakers' peaked at #25 on the AC chart and was featured on the 2011 season finale of the Vampire Diaries. wicked;)<br />
<b></b><br />
<b>He Is We<br />

<b></b><br />
<b>Paradise Fears<br />
</b><br />
Six friends from South Dakota is the ingredientss for the band 'Paradise Fears'. Winning th mid-west Bttle of the Band's at which they were compared to "N'sync meets a UFC cage match". The band's debut full length album 'Yours Truly' will be out soon...<br />

<i><u><br />
</u></i><br />
<i><u>Interview By:Mandi of<b><a href="http://mylakelibrary.org/teens/default.aspx"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: red;">Hear That Tune Music</span></a></b></u></i><br />
<i><u><br />
</u></i><br />
<b>1.Your style is really refreshing, how would you describe your sound?</b><br />
<b> </b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">"I would describe our song as a modern twist to the 80's songs we love so much."</span></i><br />
<br />
<b>2.'Shut Up and Dance' is very descriptive and a little demanding, I love it, How did you come to that phrase as your band name?</b><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">"Well, anyone who hangs out with us for more than a minute will instantly pick up on the fact that we are all huge movie buffs. One of our top favorites is Waynes World, and in Waynes World II, the concept of if you "book them, they will come" seems to present itself as the on going theme. At the end of the movie, Aerosmith shows up to save the day, and plays there hit song, "Shut Up and Dance".</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span></i><br />
<b>3.If you could only choose one song off you EP for a stadium of people to hear which track would it be?</b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">"Definitely "Believe In Us". Not only did we pick that track to represent the entire album name, but it reminds all of us in Shut Up and Dance that we have dedicated so much of our lives to this project and to keep believing in ourselves along the way as we continuing to gain support from so many amazing people. The song itself is the one song we feel will remain with us as we continue to grow, timeless if you will."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span><br />
<b>4.How long have all of you been playing together?</b><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">"Well the majority of the members have grown up in the same scenes whether it was playing in the same bands or taking the stage with each other and decided to come together to produce a style of sound we all could enjoy. The band that we play in today was finalized when Jessi Riese, lead vocalist, joined the roster earlier this year. "</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span></i><br />
<b>5.If you could do a cover of any song what song would it be?</b><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">"We definitely have had numerous discussions about which song would be best and although the majority of them seem to be right up are alley, remixing some of our favorites classics of the 80's, sometimes covers get the best results from coming outta left field, and picking something that fans would not expect. Either way, we are soon to release a cover that we have agreed on and we think will get the reaction from our fans, but until the release, we are gonna keep it under wraps."</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span></i><br />
<b>6. I was at the Ladies Rock show at The House of Blues on Aug.13th, if you were to go on a US tour which of those bands would you want to open for 'Shut Up and Dance'? (Lilly and the Tigers, A Brilliant Lie, Dollface)</b><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">"Honestly, that was the first time we had to the chance to play with all three of these bands and that show for us was one of our favorites. It would be great to go on tour with any or all three of those bands."</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span></i><br />
<b>7. What would be your dream venue/place to perform?</b><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">"We all have different opinions on this one as well, ranging from more nostalgic venues such as CBGB to a more intense arena atmosphere such as Radio City Music Hall, but one of our biggest goals is to make it over seas."</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span></i><br />
<b>8. What has been your proudest moment as of now for 'Shut Up and Dance'?</b><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">"The ability to play our hometown House of Blues multiple times is always surreal. Most any bands you'll ask will tell you that the moment the crowd sings your songs louder than yourself, is a something you'll never forget."</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span></i><br />
<b>9.*Fan choice* Favorite Fast Food?</b> (each member)<br />
Jessi- <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">"Wendy's "</span></i><br />
Joey- <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">"Pollo Tropical"</span></i><br />
Chad- <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">"In and Out Burger"</span></i><br />
Kyle- <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">"Taco Bell"</span></i><br />
Sean- <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">"Chick-fil-a"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">"So you can imagine how insane it is to agree on what to eat when we're on the road."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span><br />
<b>10. Any shout out's to your Central Floida Fans?</b><br />
