It wasn’t until recently that I stumbled across this unique band form Canton, Michigan. I gotta tell ya “Good Luck Varsity” has it going on, this pop rock band brings together a unique set of talent with amazing vocals. They’ll tell ya nothings standing in their way “the show must go on”. This bands going for the big picture and I can tell ya their gonna get it. To hear some of their amazing tunes click here. We will see about getting a interview with these guys in the near future.

This group of guys knows how to turn things up. They come straight to you from Westland, Michigan. Where they get the party started. If you haven’t had a chance to see them live nows the time. We recently had the chance to ask them a few questions to help you get to know them a little better.

First we gotta know, where did you come up with the name “Dry Leaf Project”

-The Dry Leaf Project means absolutely nothing, which people seem to find hilarious. It was just an inside joke that the original band members came up with one day. Our old drummer, Josh, was thinking of band names and he’s like “ I only think up crappy emo names like ‘the dry leaf project’” and we all laughed and thought that name sucked. And then about a year later when the band started, we just used that. Funny story.

I have to say the song “Squeaky Clean Slate” is absolutely amazing, what does it stand for?

-Squeaky Clean Slate is just a song about change. It’s about making a stepping-stone in your life, and starting a new beginning.

What’s it like having a band with only 2 main members?

-Having 2 members is fun, because we’ve been best friends and next-door neighbors for fifteen years. It’s weird though. When people think of The Dry Leaf Project they think of Matt, and me but we really have four members that play with us live.

Your music is to die for, would you care if SerTop came to one of your shows to get some video footage?

-That would be amazing. We’re always encouraging people to come to shows and take pictures and videos. We usually try to put on a really fun show and get the crowd into it. “Passion, not fashion!”

For kicks what’s your favorite TV show?

- Right now, Matt and I are really into ‘America’s Best Dance Crew.’ That show is so hype. We’re also avid watchers of American Idol, however lame that is. I really enjoy Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show, Great Job! And Matt basically watches whatever is on MTV.

What are some big shows the fans gotta see?

-Every show we play! Haha. Kidding, but seriously. Support local music and come see us when we play with our buddies in Good Luck Varsity

“Dry Leaf Project” has had some big success; does it help for picking up ladies?

-Sorry ladies, but I’m taken, however, Matt is not! We usually have those few crazy girl fans at shows, but you know how that goes being rock stars. Kidding!

Some bands have a pre show ritual, what gets you guys inspired before the big show?

- We pray on stage before every show, but other than that, I know for a fact that Matt listens to Brand New before every show to get in the mood. I’m pretty chill, I don’t think there is anything I do in specific. We’re boring!

Everyone loves St. Patrick’s day what did you guys do to celebrate?

-I guess we must be losers, but all we did is work. I (Ryan) ate my first helping of Corned Beef, and that was pretty good, so yeah. That was the extent of our Saint Patty’s Day. ☺

We love music just like you, when can we expect some more remarkable songs?

- Well, we’re working on our full length album right now, and it’s about a year and a half into the making, so we’re expecting to release it the summer of ’08. It’s going to have 11-12 songs on it, and it includes a bunch of new ones that you guys haven’t heard, so get pumped.

If your into techno rave music, then you gotta check out the Superfast Ferries. We recently had a chance to do a Q&A with them. Keep in mind they are from Italy, so don’t hate on their English, not many bands would take the time to write this out in a language they are not as familiar with.

Because we love you guys we uploaded the song “Gameboy The Beat,” so you can listen to it while your reading the Q&A! Press play, close your eyes, imagine yourself at the most kick ass rave, open them, and READ ON!

First, I gotta say, your music really jams. I am very impressed at your techno/rock/punk style.

Thank you! If you like it you should listen the new song next week!

Lets get started….

How fast is Superfast?

Ehh…i think Superfast Ferries are really superfast in the type of
music now.

How’d you all meet?

Steve and Mal met together at school when they were 13;
Josh arrive later when Superfast Ferries was already formed!
We were 18.

What are your main influences as a band?

I think drum, our mum, my dog peghi, keytar,we like
go to party every night in Turin (because we don’t study at the
moment and we don’t work,we just play music with the money
of our parents), rave party, some drugs, and … the list is too
long..

Music- sex pistols, nirvana, crystal castles,
Britnay Spears, micheal jakson, depeche mode, sonic youth,
….and more

Who plays what, three keyboards?

Yes, depends on the song,because we use the electronic drum
and so we can make our sound with computer

But the real line up is:
Mal: vocal, synth ,bass(guitar).
Steve Keytar: Vocal,synth.
Josh: electro synthdrum.

Anyone see any good movies lately?

Oh yes, for this question we have some problems with the title
because in italy!!but recently i have seen the last one of Woody
Allen and i like it, i have seen also the last one of Tim Burton
sweny Tod(i like the photograph in this film).
