“It’s been an interesting process: we were all kind of transitional when we joined the band, and we’ve all grown, independently, but with<\/b> each other at the same time.” – Cody Wyoming<\/p>\n

“I thought this was just going to a total rebound thing, and then I just started falling in love with the music.” – Steve Gardels<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"PhilistinesThey say it’s better to be lucky than good, but\u00a0KC psych-rockers\u00a0The Philistines<\/a>\u00a0prove that it’s possible\u00a0to be both. They’ve had a heck of a year, from making a famous fan or two down at SXSW to signing with local label\u00a0The Record Machine<\/a>, and if my chat with Cody and Steve is any indication, they’ve\u00a0no intention of\u00a0putting the breaks on this beast.<\/p>\n

We spent the better part of an hour talking about the band’s\u00a0one-of-a-kind practice space in KC’s West Bottoms, recording at Massive\u00a0Sound<\/a>\u00a0with the mad scientist known as\u00a0Paul Malinowski, the subtle beauty of playing rhythm guitar, and Kansas City’s legacy as a music town. So kick up your feet, grab yourself a refreshing beverage, and get to know\u00a0these rising stars while you’ve still got a chance to say “I knew them when.”<\/p>\n
