This week we interview local punk band Pyrojet whose upcoming gigs and other info can be found
here: www.myspace.com/pyrojet
HM/VJ: Who is in the band and how would you describe your sound?
Pyrojet: Pyrojet consists of Daniel Falquez (lead guitar), Orestis
Bardoutsos (drums), Santiago Cadavid (bass), and Joe Larrea is the lead
singer. I would simply define Pyrojet's music as orgasmic rock. It can
be fast, slow, dancy, raw, emotional, irrational but it is always
going to feel good no matter what.
HM/VJ: What are your musical influences as far as yourself and the other members?
Pyrojet: Santiago loves house and electronic.
Orestis wets his pants for ska and emo.
Daniel mmmmetal, metal, metal
Joseph likes alternative and some other weird stuff.
HM/VJ: How did you guys form? How did you settle on the sound you have now?
Pyrojet: Joe met O through a mutual friend. Daniel, Santiago and Joe used to
play together in a skate punk band called Ramshackles. The sound we
have come up with took us a little time to develop but it was
definitely worth the while. It makes us feel weightless when we get
together and share ideas and come up with songs that we all love.
HM/VJ: How long have you guys been playing live? Are there regular fans at
your shows?
Pyrojet: We have been Pyrojet for 2 years now. We have some hardcore fans that
never miss a show and some new ones that get from every time we play
some place new.
HM/VJ: How did you guys come up with the name?
Pyrojet: Pyro = fire Jet = plane, it takes you high in the sky. Music to us is a divine
experience that takes us higher, so in some way it's like a tribute to
music itself.
HM/VJ: What is the songwriting process like? Do you improvise a lot or bring
in certain chord progressions?
Pyrojet: The songwriting is mostly done by Joseph, but all the music is done by Pyrojet.
HM/VJ: Which of the songs are your favorite to play live and why?
Pyrojet: mmmm this one is a tough one..I would say two new ones "On my Own" and "Tragic Affair"
HM/VJ: Which of the songs have become fan favorites at gigs?
Pyrojet: "Reality TV" "Hellway of Living" "Tragic Affair" "On my own" "Pyroman"
HM/VJ: How long does it usually take to finish writing and working out a song? How much of that process is affected by fan reaction and the rest of the band?
Pyrojet: A song may take as little as one rehearsal or as long as a year + . The smile of a fan, or having someone sing your songs right back at you it the most refreshing experience in the world
