Show Me Island Q&A

Decribe Show Me Island in five words.

Ska, reggae and dark meme

When did the band form and what was the inspiration for the bands name?

We formed in the summer of 2011 with a typical story of most members coming from other various local ska bands. The name came from our bassist, John. He was watching Futurama  and Hermes said, “I’m from Jamaica, the show me island!” So, I don’t think he wasted any time in suggesting it as the band name and here we are!

Who are your major musical influences?

Each member has a little bit of a different taste in music but all share a love for some form of ska. So the influences range from Amy Winehouse, the Specials to Westbrown Train, Metallica and more!

What has been your most memorable band moment?

Okay, so, we got asked to open for The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. While filled with excitement, we got some shirts made so we had something to sell at the big show. The design wehad was pretty much a circle with Show Me Island written on the inside and as for shirts, we thought a gray shirt with another shade of grey ink would look cool… That sounds kind of cool, right? Well, we get the shirts back and unless you looked at them juuuust right, it looks like a shirt with a big dark dot right in the middle. We still bring them to the show beacuse it’s all we got. Before the show, Dicky Barrett, the frontman of the Bosstones comes to say hi and asks if we have any shirts. (Side note – nicest guy, 10/10 would meet again) We show him the shirts and he just starts laughing. “This is straight out of Spinal Tap, “he said, “gotta get some new shirts for the Bosstones show, I hope they look good!” After a few minutes of laughing with us (at us?), he brought a shirt and we got  this photoand a fun story. We have much better shirts now, check them out at ShowMeIsland.com

wp-1471298249418.jpg

What’s the song writting process like for Show Me Island?

Our song writing process is a collaborative effort. We usually start with a chord progression or sometimes a melody and work from there. Once we have a skeletal version of the song, Lauren will start writing lyrics and melodies and we build the rest around that. 


Here is a little teaser for you:
