Mixed Green's Artist: A.b.a.l.l. Muse
How did the band's name come about? Was it a group effort or an epiphany?
An epiphany, well my name "A.b.a.l.l. Muse" is an acronym and abstract metaphore, Aball stands for; Awakening. Beloved. Arives. Lost. Love. and the muse stands for the inspiration of the female energy which is my guitar. With the bands name "Pretty Ugly" which represents the marriage of opposites in a collective effort.
Did you get into music for the art or the groupies?
Both
How do you feel about being a part of Mixed Greens?
I'm thankful in your interest in me.
How about the personalities of the group? Who's the wild one, who's the business one, who's not paying attention?
Our band is a three piece which has changed yet again I'm the lead singer/guitar player. I guess I'm the chief of the rude boys. I'm pretty laid back unless you provoke the monster bad boy in me. I own my own contracting business, love women and eat meat (sorry no vegan). My Drummers name is Kasper who is also into construction and is the angry white guy of the group and jungle emcee from Canada. My bass players name is Rod Glasper who also sings back ups; He's kind of the smooth player type who bartends downtown and owns is own barbershop. Rod is originally from Texas.
Who's your idol or inspiration for your music?
Sly Stone, Jimi Hendrix and Max Roach.
How often do you write songs and how do you come up with your song concepts?
I write at least a couple times a week inspiration comes from life experience so it all depends.
Mixed Greens is a Blended Musical Compilation how do you describe your music?
A blend of raw music at it's most simplistic level.
Where do you feel your music is going in the next couple of years?
The live band emcee format which I'm currently mastering in ala Roots ala Lauryn Hill. People want artist who play intstraments and
perform great.
What's the best part about being about to create your own music?
I did it to keep from loosing my fucking mind and ending up in jail.
What was the name of the first song you recorded? Please write down a couple of bars of that song?
I Can't Change
Remember you have a friend in me
and I don't want your money (no) that aint free
we're more the same than you'd agree
We can't change though we're constantly adapting we remain the same
and it hurts to be on your own
placed in a box stripped of your throne
One in the same yesterday's gone
life is love right can't be wrong
so tell me my friend cuz I'm not that cold
to feel more than man mind of the soul
I Can't Change/ Though I'm constantly adapting I remain the same
