Psychedubasaurus REX will be part of Hijacking Music Festival this weekend at 529. Guitarist, David Carter, took the time to talk with us at AMG before the festival! Here is the interview below.
How did you come up with your band name?
If I remember correctly, the first iteration of the name came to us after the first jam session we had, partly as a joke for how huge the sound was and it just kind of stuck and morphed into what it is now. It actually started out even longer than it currently is, Psychedelidubasaurus rex I believe. With the large rotating cast of musicians and huge wall of sound we put, I can’t imagine another name representing us any better.
What is the strangest thing a fan has done for you? or at your show?
I can’t recall any strange fan moment, but we had a very interesting and inspiring gig last year. We played in front of a group of kids at the goat farm for a non-profit organization called One Love Generation. They basically have a few weekly classes for children where local artists come in and mentor them in creative areas they are normally not exposed to. They set up a few tables for the children outside and we played in front of them while they were instructed to paint based on the music we played. It was a great experience to be a part of that and really cool to see what they came up with during our set.
What is your favorite gig you have ever attended?
What was the best gig you have ever played?
Any pre-show rituals you can’t go on stage without doing?
