Kindred Shins Q&A


Your name: 
Sonny McFadyen and also for cheap measure I'm accompanied by Cutey Pie Dave.

Where are you from? 
We come from parts unknown, though it's been rumoured two of us spawned from fungi in a swimming pool.

Name of band:
Kindred Shins.

Who is in your band?
There's Sonny McFadyen providing the lungs, Cutey Pie Dave James on guitar, Chocolate Morgan on the sticks and Baked Bean Dave on the bass.

How would you describe yourselves?
Well I'm a swell guy with quite the avalanche of modest ego, we conjure up tunes that are nothing short of sensational, it's a mystery to us all but we'll keep tapping the well until it runneth dry.

Who are your main influences musically?
Desert Dolls, Black Pistol Fire, The Gavels, 13th Floor Elevators, Kyuss, Jermaine Dupri.

What do you hope to achieve in music?
A smash and grab raid before people cotton onto the fact that we're pretty much just here for the ride, all excess money we make shall be donated to a donkey trust, it's the eyes, they longingly look and break my heart.

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Realising that the noise we make in the studio and take to the stage not only makes people like us but also makes us more attractive to the fairer sex, that and playing to a packed room of hungerians in archway one time, plus giant men invading the stage, good times.

And what’s the moment you want to forget?
Luckily for me my memory is pretty bad otherwise once when we played a tune so badly that someone's parrot actually died, shame that night, ruined Christmas for everyone that was there.

If you could choose one of your songs as an advert for your music, what would it be and why?
The Smoker Never Quits - Cos you can get patches to stop your yearning for us but soon or later you're gonna have a drink on a night out and we'll be your dirty little secret once more.

Where can we listen to it?



Where can we find out more about your music?

Anything else you’d like to say about your band that I forgot to ask?
No you've been pretty thorough and from what I can decipher, pretty fair, if you would like to know more about our nocturnal habits or weapon of choice you only have to ask, charmed I'm sure.
