Yer Scene Vol 7

An In t er view wit h Co n n ie

by Kenneth Fury and Hugh Schmidt Seeyouspacecowboy have been a band that has continually put out great material.

With memorable changes, riffs, personality and art work, they?re impossible to not love. The energy that emits through their work, coupled with lovable song titles has created a band that it?s near impossible to not be their biggest fan. Luckily for Hugh and I, Connie the vocalist, lyricists and artist of SYSC gave us one of the most fun and worthwhile interviews either of us have done. Connie has personality, charm and overall- comes across as an fantastic person and one you'd love to hang out with. Below, we've put together our favourite answers from her.

While it?s fun to talk about the most wild aspects of playing shows and recording, let?s talk things that are a little bit more domestic.

Q: Do you have any pre-show rituals? From the day before to two minutes before you go on, what traditions do you practice? Do you just do what you feel like you need to beforehand? Some vocalists have lists of things they do before shows; special tea, stretches or maybe vocal warm ups. What does half an hour before a show look like for you?

A: I usually pace around for a bit as the band before us finishes playing, followed by taking a few drags off a cigarette realizing I?m too nauseous and anxious to smoke and work on settling in my spot as everyone gets tone/volume and all that.

Other than that routine I don't really have a consistent ritual really, I don't really warm up or drink anything special.

Q: After shows, do you have a favourite dinner or ?hole in the wall? food place to hang out at?

A: We usually round up a crew and go to a Thai place or a burrito spot when we are in LA, always kinda feel bad bringing 10 - 20 people to a restaurant at 1 in the morning. When we are on tour though it?s usually Taco Bell most nights since it?s usually the only spot to get vegan food after shows in most places.
