On Friday, local band Sputnik flew into the station to answer a few burning questions we had about songwriting, creative inspirations, and more. Check out the highlights down below and remember to keep on keeping it locked!<\/p>\n

Tyler: What kind of music do you make and who do you make it for?<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Micah: We make psychedelic music and it\u2019s for anyone who likes\u2026 music.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Solie: We make music for people who want to open their minds to things beyond their expectations. We make music for queer people\u2026 people of color\u2026 fun loving hard rockin mofos.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tyler: What do you bring to the music creation that\u2019s not directly music inspired?<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Micah: I started out my art painting and drawing, so I find that my painting and drawing makes it into our music composition a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Solie: I\u2019ve been a poet for several years and performed poetry for several years- I\u2019ve had the pleasure of using Sputnik to keep doing that. A song on our upcoming album, the first track, starts with a monologue about the american political system, the incarceration system, and ends super stark with \u201cfuck freedom\u201d. It combines art, expression, these complex ideas, as well as the complexities of music that the others have such a good understanding of.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Get ready to rock out and rock on with Sputnik and the other bands this Friday, April 26th at Liberty Hall! Doors are @7pm and music starts @8pm! Get there between 7pm and 8pm to receive a voting wristband.
