#magzilla

How long have you been playing together?

Jonas (bass): Well...pretty much 2 and a half years.

Pedro (guitar): Really? That much….must be less.

Jonas: If we count our very first rehearsal session...

Pedro: Oh c'mon. That one doesn't count. Guilherme joined the band around 2 years ago. That's where it started for real.

Jonas: Fine! Two years then.

Did you have any previous experience?

Guilherme (vocals/guitar): Mostly rehearsals... Pedro and I are friends from school. Nothing really serious though.

Has Magzilla released anything yet?

Pedro: No! This is our very first time recording something for real.

That's interesting. Have you performed a live show before?

Jonas: Actually, no. We just play in the studio as a hobby. We catch up every Thursday for our session, but we’ve never left the studio to play live anywhere. This is our first time out there!

What did you record today? How are you planning on releasing it?

Pedro: We did just one track.  It's a 10 minutes long one, though. Well... there's no big plan about it yet. Maybe we'll compile it with another song to make an EP. Our songs are quite long, so it would work that way, but first we want to hear and feel it. That would give us a better sense of what to do.

Guilherme: Beside that ,we want to spread the word. Let our friends and close contacts listen to it and see what happens. Who knows?

How did you like your session here at Rubber Tracks?

Jonas: We’re very impressed with it. The place, gear, the session, everything.

Guilherme: We weren’t expecting this to happen in our life right now. It looked unreal for us, especially because we are a small band without much experience. It's great to have this chance.

How was your very first time recording? Did it fulfill your expectations?

Guilherme: Absolutely yes. It was interesting, since we rehearse a lot we have a good bond between us.  I was positively surprised because, even though we are in a professional level studio, it just depended on us. We just had to come here and do our best. This bond we have helped a lot to do a good job.

What's next for Magzilla? Are you into it for real?

Leandro (drums): Yes, for sure. This year definitely we want to go out and play. We want to book some shows.

Guilherme: Now that we have something to present it will be easier.

Pedro: For next year we have three things in mind: compose more, record what we have now and perform live!
