Kittyhawk Interview/Music

No music yet, recorded at least. But I was recommend so I serve, a supposed sick band out of Chicago, Kittyhawk will soon have music to fill your hair infested ears with sound waves that will trigger nerve responses that will tell your face muscles to smile, and your feet to dance. Read, and stay tuned.
Not, they now have music, well one song and they are working on more so stay in touch with all the butch dudes in this band. Mark Jaeschke is a lord of the underworld and his fate is trapped, but I still love him.

1. Where did the name Kittyhawk come from?

we were sitting in erik's basement one afternoon at our "first practice" (really, erik and i had written one song a piece) trying to think of band names.  i wanted it to do with aviation, because i like flying, so eventually we came up with that.  it was originally kittyhawk, nc (north carolina), but it's just easier that way.  there's apparently a prog band from decades ago that has the same name.  oh well.

2. How long has the band been together? As well as who is in the band? And what is each persons contribution?

we've technically been a band for about a year, although we finally started getting the ball rolling about 4 months ago.  as far as the band goes, we have erik czaja one of the two guitar players, who also plays with dowsing, herzog and a few other projects.  evan loritsch plays drums for us, and also drums in the island of misfit toys, options, warren franklin, and plays with literally a million other people.  literally.  kate grube plays keyboards and writes the lyrics and she was in a band called walrus a while back and does backing vocals on a lot of into it. over it.'s material.  i'm mark jaeschke and i play guitar.  i'm also in the island of misfit toys, warren franklin, and i play horns with joie de vivre.

3. Considering it is a relatively new band how much longer do you see it lasting? Is it sometimes hard with all the other projects going on?

haha, i have no idea!  hopefully for a while.  i've been working on a few song ideas for a full-length record, but we'll take it as it comes.  all of our other projects are working on new releases for 2013, so it'll be a busy year for everyone.

4. So now you are finally fucking recording shit, how is that going so far? Would you tour with it just yet?

we're actually almost done.  we're gonna be working on two more songs tomorrow and then i have a few guitar things i wanna work on.  as far as touring goes, we'd totally go out with that ep!  we have hopes to try to go to the east coast in january, but it's really all tentative right now.

5. You spoke it! A tentative tour to the east, tell more. Would you be going with someone? Atleast give some people there a small shred of hope to hear you.

hm, i dunno really!  we really just talked about it today while we were recording, haha!   there are a few cities we'd definitely like to hit up in new jersey and pennsylvania to play with some friends.  erik wants to tour with brave bird, which would be super fun.  we'll keep you posted!

6. Have you played any shows yet? If so has the been a favorite one played so far, unless there are none or is just a single show played.

we haven't played any!  our first show is october 6th with my other band, the island of misfit toys, cherry cola champions, and unraveler.  it's at erik's house, so we have home field advantage!

7. Since you are a new band, what is some piece of advice you would give to an aspiring musician or someone who wants to start up a band?

haha, no sweat dude.  hang out with your friends, go to shows, and listen to records.  our band happened by complete happenstance, so there's nothing stopping other folks from doing the same.
