Flip Rushmore and Denim Matriarch are playing Minneapolis’ legendary 7th St Entry with VIAL and pure SHIFTER on Friday, January 17. Find tickets here. Alex caught up with the entire Denim gang for a phone chat. They were in a car. “Not driving. Just sitting.” Totally normal.
Early in the conversation, Alex realized that it would be next to impossible to accurately attribute each quote to a member—three of them sound exactly alike when they speak. So some of the responses will just be labeled with “No ID.”
Alex: A couple days ago, I spoke with Kate from VIAL. She said Friday is their first time playing the Entry. Any advice for new artists at 7th St? Nathan: Just rock your socks off. Seize the moment. Try to find a good spot on the street to load in there. No ID: Oh, that’s actually real advice. It can be kinda hard to load in there. What is the sweet spot? Will: It’s the garage now. Nathan: I guess now you have to load in through the garage. Never mind. No ID (continuing advice): Definitely get a good meal in ya at the Depot. No ID: Buy drinks in the Depot because it’s 50 percent off. Nathan: Yeah, take that 50 percent discount and you’ll be playing like you’ve never played.

Flip Rushmore and VIAL are playing Minneapolis’ legendary 7th St Entry with Denim Matriarch and Pure Shifter on Friday, January 17. Find tickets here. Alex got on the phone with VIAL bassist Kate Kanfield to discuss the gig and—apparently—everything else.
Alex: You guys have way too many Kates in your band. Did you purposely seek each other out? Kate: Absolutely no planning or anything. It just happened that way. Taylor knew myself and KT, and we thought, “Oh my god, that’s funny.” Then we were on Tinder and we were looking for a drummer, and we matched with Katie. We thought, “Oh, that’s perfect. Three Katies or Kates or KTs. That’s just hilarious.” So there was a little bit of fate. You saw the name, and it made sense. Yeah. “We need to message them just because their name is Katie.” It worked out perfectly. How did you guys all start playing music with each other? I’ve known Taylor since we were both in high school. Five or six years now. We played together in a program back then and did some stuff together. Taylor messaged me earlier this year and said, “I want to get a band together.” Taylor also knew KT through a program called She Rock She Rock. Taylor connected us, and then we found Katie on Tinder! Is that how bands are being formed now? On Tinder? We haven’t found another band yet who’s used Tinder, but we highly recommend it. |
