expect something different each time from our live shows. One day we might be playing live with the film composer that produced the record or one day we might just play the songs with no backing tracks at all. No matter what, everyone can always expect us to be crazy. Did you get to play the Green Jelly Jam Fest at the Royal Vista Club right before the pandemic, and if so, how did the show go, and did you get to meet the band? The Green Jelly Jam Fest was the last show we played before everything shut down! The show was very fun, I had a great time with everyone that played that day. I did get to meet the guys actually! Our guitar player Brandon was in touch with Nathan in Green Jelly and he was the one that ultimately booked us for that show. What has it been like to play the legendary venues on the Sunset Strip such as The Whisky and The Rainbow? Playing shows on the Sunset Strip has been amazing, it’s truly a surreal experience. Playing The Whisky and The Rainbow have been my favorite because of how at home we feel over at those venues. I love the sound crew so much at The Whisky, they always make sure our sound is correct and I can’t thank them enough for that.

If RVNGE could open for any band either now or from the past, who would it be and why? I would want us to open up for Bring Me The Horizon because I feel like our sound would be great with theirs. Without a doubt that would be a killer show for everyone. If the music of RVNGE was a donut, what kind would it be and why? If our music was a donut I think it would be a classic Krispy Kreme. Delicious and fluffy, but deadly if you don’t control yourself. What do you hope the rest of 2021 bring for you, for RVNGE, and for the music world in general? I hope the rest of this year brings new opportunities to the table for both me and the band, and I truly hope the rest of 2021 brings revenue to small venues that are struggling. Any final words of wisdom? Things will always get hard, but you have to keep going, even when you’re at your lowest point. If you really want success, then don’t back down. The world is yours.
