Who/what inspired you to do what you do? My dad was my first inspiration. My dad being a guitarist, I got to see a lot of concerts at an early age. He would always play bands like Aerosmith, Van Halen on our long trips to the river and it fascinated me enough to the point where I found my dream at an early age.
What up-and-coming band(s) should we all know? This new band called Vintage Trouble caught my attention at Coachella last year with their killer image and great music style merging a classic 50’s sound with a modern vibe.
Where is your favorite place to shop? Brick and mortar record shops make my mouth drool. I can sit in those for hours before getting kicked out at closing time. There is a new record store in Monrovia called Resistor Records that has the greatest deals on classic albums and awesome new albums on vinyl as well. I suggest if you are ever in that area to check them out.
What’s the last movie you saw? 22 Jump Street. I give it a solid A and cant wait for 23,24,25 and 26
Where is your favorite place to eat? My grandmother’s kitchen! Pasta, Mac and cheese, you name it, she makes the best!
Describe your perfect day: My perfect day is having no plans and listening to my vinyls at volume 11. Cheap Trick’s album In Color is my current vinyl spinning at the moment.
Beatles or Rolling Stones? Yikes, I’ll get busted for my answer, but I say the Stones. The Beatles did so much for the music industry, but if I was asked to see a show (given that all members were still alive…..too soon?) I would choose the stones for their great energy. Mick should take it easy, but he still is a Jumpin Jack Flash on stage.
What’s your favorite app? Is Instagram too cliche? How about the app which tell me who unfollows me on Instagram? No?
What are you currently working on? Right now I’m focusing on my new music blog where I review albums, concerts and more exciting things to come www.keelanswallofsound.blogspot.com
