36 Crazyfists has already been around for quite some years, 15 to be exact. Guess it felt like the right them for them to release their first ever live DVD. It's called "Underneath A Northern Sky" and it's out now on Ferret. We tried to do an email interview with Brock but this is all we got back. Sorry it isn't more!
PRT: You recently released your first ever DVD… how come you felt the time was right for it?
Brock: Well after 15 years of making music with the band we were finally able to get our label to help us put something out.
PRT: Not only is “Underneath A Northern Sky” a live DVD, it also shows the band’s trajectory all the way up to where you are right now… how do you look back on the first 15 years?
Brock: I look back fondly and realize that time is flying by.
PRT: You’ve been around long enough to have a demo that was still released on cassette and had to work yourself up on your own. Do you think things have become easier for bands that are starting out now with the internet and all kinds of new technologies?
Brock: Well having the internet is definitely a tool we didn't have in the early days. I think it's pretty cool that you can look up bands on the myspace page and listen to their music right there...Technology has its pros and cons though.
PRT: You’ve already had a couple of successful albums, toured all over the world several times… are there still any goals you’d like to accomplish with the band?
Brock: I just want to continue to grow each with each record musically and to continue to travel the earth playing killer festivals with my favorite bands and friends.
PRT: How important was it for you to film the movie in Alaska instead of somewhere else?
Brock: ALaska is our soul and I mean that in a way that the place has such a hold on us mentally and physically. The place just nurtures and helps grow people in a way that it has such a tight hold on my heart. Couldn't have been filmed anywhere else.
PRT: Not really a question… but when I saw you guys rehearse in the movie, it looked like it was pretty damn cold there. It made me wonder how come your songs aren’t a lot shorter!
Brock: Ha, yeah we have a beautifully cold winter up here.
PRT: Which brings me to a new album that you’re working on right now. Can you already tell us a bit more about it?
Brock: We are knee deep in the writing now and it feels great to be creating a new chapter of the band. Can't really say much about the songs yet but i'm stoked on the outcome so far.
