Van Full of Nuns & Pop Punk’s Not Dead Fest
In this episode we are recording from the Marshall Brewing Taproom, joined by Mikey Pizza & Todd the Pop Punk Viking from the band Van Full of Nuns… what is going on? CHEERS!!
-
- Guys welcome to Tulsa and to Marshall Brewing! We are excited to have you here!
- Have you been to T-Town before or is this the first time?
- Introduce yourselves to everyone and give a little intro of the band, Van Full of Nuns, as well.
- Band members – Mike (Lead Vocals), Josh (Guitar), Todd (drums), and Jason (Bass)
- So the band is based out of Dallas, right? Are you all from the Dallas area?
- How did you meet and when did you start playing music together?
- You guys are playing the famous Cain’s Ballroom. That is exciting. It’s a super fun place to watch a show. The place has great energy. Give us a little rundown of what the people can expect from your performance!
- Can you guys give us a quick overview of what exactly “Pop Punk” is, and who some of the best examples of this genre are?
- Now after learning about you guys I listened to a bunch of your stuff, covers and originals, and I really love how you stay true to the feel of the songs / bands but put your own spin on the covers as well. Is that planned or when you guys are putting a new cover together does it just kind of come out with a Van Full of Nuns twist naturally?
- We play a little bit of music, by no means are we a band or any good for that matter!! But I personally have always enjoyed both aspects of creating music and learning to cover some of my favorite bands. So when it’s time to write a new song… Who is the creative force behind the originals? What does that process of writing a new song look like for the Van Full of Nuns crew?
- And when it comes to covers… There are so many good songs out there. How do you guys decide what songs to cover?
- How fun is it when you rip into a super popular cover during a show and the crowd knows it and sings along? I imagine it’s a pretty amazing energy!!
- Do you have a top 1 or 2 songs that are your favorites to play live??
- Guys welcome to Tulsa and to Marshall Brewing! We are excited to have you here!
