Interview with ColorChromatic!

-Who is CC? Where are you from? How did you all meet? Did you know each other before CC?


CC: ColorChromatic is Loki- guitar, voice. Tony- Bass. Ramy-Drums. we are inglewood/westchester area.
ramy- i used to play in a ska band called lenins landlords with tony, and i actually met loki at our first show. soon our singer called it quits, and by this time i was living with loki and we decided to ask loki to be in the band. it was called revival sound.. then our guitar player "quit" and we become ColorChromatic.
loki- I jammed with ramy at Lenins Landlords first show and met Tony formally at the last show. Skrimp and I had to talk Ramy into letting me sing in the band. Ramy finally caved and we eventaully phased out or mar vista base/demographic because it was no longer profitable.


-How would you describe your overall sound?


CC: ramy- weird, chaotic, funx and harmony. punx.
loki- Sonically, we are what happens when a unstoppable fork meets an immovable steak. a mixture of loud moments and quiet moments.


-What does CC stand for? What central theme do the lyrics revolve around?

CC: tony- names ColorChromatic... oneword two words thr eew ords
loki- ColorChromatic is an idea that came once while playing notes chromatically on a guitar and experiencing them as shapes, colors and tastes. Synesthesia, for you brainiacs. To transpose that moment into a musical movement was my goal in starting this band.Also, our constant evolution is what sets us apart. i personally do not wish to convey any message other than contradiction. Contradiction sheds light on all.


-What does CC have under their belt? Time to brag fellas, aha.


C: ramy- we are just finishing up writing our full length, and we are going to be putting out an LP via my label Olhar De Vidro Records (www.myspace.com/olhardevidro), as soon as we do that we just wanna tour and write some more. we have been talking about all the future releases we are going to do.. mostly split EPs with some friends.
