Michigan
Paul Tefft (guitar & vocals).
Where are you from?
Name of band:
The Love Hate.
Who else is in your band?
Mr. Matthew Alberts (drums & percussion).
How would you describe yourselves?
Two-piece rock and roll with no gimmicks.
Who are your main influences musically?
Led Zeppelin, Jack White, Middle Class Rut.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
We'd like to make it okay to rock again. We want to see kids having fun at shows. Somewhere along the way, it became cool to rock less by simply standing and watching, arms crossed, while the band is on. We don't favor that. We want to see some action, some fun.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Our last show. We get better, tighter, and more confident together, every time we take the stage. We like to think we're only as good as our last show. (This Q&A may be the highlight, though. Particularly, if some of you rock and roll enthusiasts are reading from across the pond. We think that's pretty cool.)
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
I can't think of any moments that awful. You always hear about how disappointed bands get after they play to a crowd that consisted of the ‘other bands and their girlfriends’. But even a bad turnout makes you better. So we try to value everything - even the small crowds. Sometimes a guitar amp takes a dump mid-set, and you find yourself rifling through cables in a mad dash to get your volume back. It sucks, but at least it's always interesting and educational.
If you could choose one of your songs as an advert for your music, what would it be and why?
Broke. It's got a great, driving tempo. That and there's no
foul language.
Where can we find out more about your music?
Anything else you’d like to say about your band that I forgot to ask?
If anyone gives us a listen and likes what they hear, be sure
to check up on us once in a while; we hope to someday visit a town near you.
And please, tell your friends about us. Cheers.
