This weeks interview is with our good friends in Lionize. This stoner-funk, reggae, rock infused five piece has been kicking out the jams for the past few years, playing alongside such eclectic acts such as CKY and Ozomatli. This summer has them playing Warped Tour as well as the Bonnaroo festival so be sure to check them out!
1. Warped tour is one big circus. What is your plan to stay sane during the summer in another dimension?
We just plan on staying hydrated and focusing on our set. I think we’ll have an amazing time but play it kind of conservative. This band is not a huge fan of the heat.
2. Can you explain to the readers what the song “Saviour of Fontana” is about?
We have a good friend who was born in Fontana and now lives in riverside. His name is Sean Hammer. The was inspired by him but also just a non-sensical tune about nothing really. Just fantasy really. Most of our songs are like this.
3. Word around the Indie campfire is that you have some wild tour stories. Give us your favorite pg-13 to R rated recollection of some awesome adventure.
I don’t know who your source over at indiemerch is, but we would never do anything wild on tour. Unless Isaac is meeting up with us, then maybe it gets wild. We are pretty low key guys. I hate to dissapoint everyone, because this is a common question to answer, but nothing too outrageous. We did play a pig farm in iowa once. Pretty much was like it sounds. Lots of live and dead pigs covered in mud, while we played in front of the pen. Very rad.
4. Lionize had the honor of being Lee “Scratch” Perry’s backing band. How was the contrast between playing someone else’s songs and would it be something you would consider doing again?
We enjoyed doing the sets. It was a fun way to re-arrange his material and give it some heavier, more riff oriented material. We pretty much improvised everything each night as well and really grew the set into a living, breathing live dub set. We have since done several tours with him and are looking forward to the next ones.
5. How has the reception been for “Deconstruction Manual?”
Overwhelmingly awesome. We are pretty surprised so many people took a liking to it. We like it, but we never think the songs we make other people will enjoy as well. It’s cool for sure.
6. You have played with an eclectic mix of bands all over the musical spectrum. What kind of tour in terms of genre does the band feel most comfortable playing in?
I think rock and roll and punk tours are the best. Reggae can be fun, and world-music acts have great crowds as well, but there’s nothing like a beer drinking rock and roll audience.
7. How has the IndieMerch experience treated you so far?
We truly love Indiemerch. Kevin, Isaac and everyone else who’s had our backs from day one. We can’t imagine touring without there help at this point as far as merchandising goes. They’re the best. We don’t know why theyre so cool to us, but we won’t question it so hopefully it continues!
Pick up the righteous “Deconstruction Manual” album as well as merch from the Lionize official merch store.
