Isaac: It’s an amazing time to be a DIY artist/performer/band/musician. What do you enjoy the most about being an indie performer?
Tallulah Darling: There are so many great opportunities for Indie artists right now. With Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and Twitter you can develop an international fan base easily and without cost. Our band has been amazed at the exposure and incredible response we have received from all around the world through these mediums.
Isaac: Would you be up to signing to a Major or Indie Record Label? Why or why not?
Tallulah Darling: Yes, Tallulah Darling would love to be signed by a Major or Indie label, because they have the experience and connections to further our career.
Isaac: What do you feel is the one aspect of making music that excites you the most right now?
Tallulah Darling: I love having full control over our music. Also being an all-girl band has its advantages and because there aren’t many of them so we tend to stand out.
Isaac: What do you feel is the one aspect of making music that gets you the most discouraged?
Tallulah Darling: Probably the uncertainty of it.
Isaac: Do you feel that Indie music gets the respect it deserves? Why or why not?
Tallulah Darling: Both yes and no, there are a lot of great Indie bands that don’t get the recognition they deserve and there are some not so great performers getting too much attention.
Isaac: In your opinion, what are your thoughts on how the most unusual place you've ever played a show or made a recording impact the qualities of the show/recording?
Tallulah Darling: Our strangest show was when we played in the parking lot of an Asian Supermarket, it was an incredibly fun show!
Isaac: I am interested in knowing if in what ways does the place where you live (or places where you have lived); affect the music you create, or your taste in music?
Tallulah Darling: I used to go to and play at a folk/country bar all the time in my hometown, where I was exposed to a lot of older music that focuses more on the lyrics and telling a story. Listening to the classic folk songs taught me the value of writing great lyrics. Canada is also home to some amazing songwriters.
Isaac: What can you tell our publication about the last time you wrote a song? What can you tell us about the whole process?
Tallulah Darling: I never had issues writing songs, songwriting comes naturally and easily to me. I usually write in spurts, I’ll write lots of songs at once and then I won’t write anything for a while.
Isaac: If you knew that you would never gain fame and fortune with what you are doing now, would you continue to make music? Explain.
Tallulah Darling: Yes of course, I would continue to make music, I many not put in as much time and effort, but I would still do it because I love making music.
Isaac: Do you have a strong support system with your family and friends? How have your family and friends help you emotionally, financially, spiritually, etc. with your music?
Tallulah Darling: I have been fortunate to have a very strong support system with both my friends and family. They always come to our shows, get us where we need to be and our occasional therapist when things aren’t going right.
Isaac: As you continue your own path for making music, do you find yourself getting more or less interested in seeking out and listening to new music made by other people...and why do you think that is?
Tallulah Darling: I love listening to new music; I find I get inspiration listening to new music. Also, there's nothing better than finding a song that you can't help but listen to over and over again!
