1. What are the names of everyone in the band/ what are their roles?
Do you guys have any albums out? 
Jonas (vocals &percussion), Fredrik (Drums&percussion), Cheva (Bass), Johan (Guitar) , Kribbe  (Vocals&Guitar) We got two albums out on Spotify/Itunes and Amazon, Skaburbian Collective and Products of a free world.

2. Where are you from?
We are all from a town up north in Sweden, Luleå, with about 75 thousand in population, a long cold winter, arctic lights and a short summer with the midnight sun.

3. Are reggae and ska genres big in Sweden?
 No not really, tough the last couple of years some reggae artists from Sweden have actually got some room in the media and on the festivals around and that is a trend that is relatively new. Ten years ago the only reggae you could hear on the radio was Bob Marley so in a sense the genre is starting to grow. we wouldn’t really know :) We´re doing allright..

4. How did you get the name Skaburbian Collective? It comes from Suburb and Ska. We all grew up in the Suburbs and our main target from the start was to play ska music.  

5. How did you all get started? When? Why?
We have known each other forever and that is really the essence of our music as well. We have been sitting, jamming since we were 15-16 years old just sharing our heart´s with each other, in good times and bad times and when you do that, when you get on that level of friendship with someone or a group of people and have fun, things just happen, if you know what I mean? You could say our music reflects different aspects of life we have all shared as a group in front of a bonfire on different occasions. If that answers your questions?=)

6. Do you guys have any inspirations?
 Most of all each other, but life, love and all kind of music are inspiration as well

7. Do you have any favorite musicians?
 Oh that is a tough one cause we are so many in the group and bring different kinds of influences into the studio.

8. What are some of your favorite songs?

Tricky question, from the songs we created, I would pick…Flow, Welcome, Ea and Whaea to be the most inspiring songs to play and listen to.

9. How long have you guys all been together?
Since forever, seriously Fredrik and Johan Tieva have been friends since they were 6 years old, but this constellation started out in 2003 and have been playing on and off since then.

10. Are there any meanings or messages behind your lyrics or music?
Haha that is for you to deside=) No but it is of course different for every song but if you take a song like EA we use daily life moments in different perspectives and just share different situations in a global sense. Our music is borned, raised och performed in a lifelong, honest and happy state of mind. I would say that our main message is to spread happy feelings all around.  

11. Do you guys have any albums out?
We got two albums out on Spotify/Itunes and Amazon, Skaburbian Collective and Products of a free world.

12. Is there anything new coming out from you guys in the near future? When you least expect it=)

13. Any plans for tours? If so, will you come to America? We are actually looking in to an American tour now so we will see. 

14. Have you guys ever been to the states? No, Only Canada!

15. What does music mean to you? Music is pretty much everything for us. It’s a tool for handling feelings and what you experience. A way of expressing your personality or thoughts in a specific or non-specific way weather or not it´s satire or serious things one is writing about.

16. What do you want people to get from your music? Why?
We just want people to have a great time and share some happiness.

17. What is important to the members and the band as a whole?
 not to lose the joy of making more sweet tunes.

18. What do you guys do in your free time? We play music most of the time=)

19. Is there anything you want to add? Anything you want to say to your fans? Thanks for lending your eyes and ears, we are greatfull! Thanks guys!

20. Is there anything you guys want to say about Beyond Good Vibes and our love of music? Keep up the good work! And thank you for the time Rebekah!





As always I am so glad I got to learn a little more about these guys, especially a ska band. Skaburbian Collective is so nice to take the time to interview with US. So thanks so much guys and we hope to hear more music!

Interview by Rebekah Frye of Beyond Good Vibes.

A little bit about the musical artist, Anvil Smith

Photo courtesy of Anvil Smith's Facebook.

1.Where are you from?

I'm from Kovrov city. This is small town in the Vladimir region of Russia

2. How did you get into music?

I always liked to listen to good music. And after I came out of the army, I became interested in electronic music. I was a DJ. One day I got tired of other people's songs in my mixes and I decided to write the tracks.

3. Who are some of your favorite artists?

 My favorite artists: Pretty Lights, Michal Menert, Gramatik, D Day One, Blue Sky Black Death, Supervision, Pete Rock

4. How did you start making music, and how long have you been doing it?

I think all begin the same way. But if a person is really needed, then it can not be stopped. If you kill me, I will stop writing songs, but I hope that does not happen. assiduously I write music about two years. In total, I have been doing music for about 4 years

5. Is there anything new coming out soon?

at the moment I have a lot of projects. But the difficulties in life prevents me from writing music. but still I will try to add stuff. And this year there will be new tracks

6. What do you like to do when you're not making music?/ Do you have another job?

 at the moment I have no free time. And most of the time takes work. I work in the production of advertising, and I barely have enough money to survive. Music in Russia hard to earn. And the music I did not earn a single dollar

7. Do you have any influences?

 it's simple. in music influenced me Derek Vincent Smith

8. How many tracks do you have out?

at the moment I have about a dozen projects, but they need to do in the studio

9. What does music mean to you? 

Music is the most important thing that I have. And I dream to deal exclusively with the music and try very hard to do so.Music helps me in difficult moments. God gave us music and it needs to develop!

10. Do you have any tours or shows coming up soon?

This issue is my agent. And literally, helps me with everything. And in March of next year, we plan to start performing.

11. Do you have any musical goals?

the most important thing to constantly evolve and continue to study and come up with new solutions and approaches for writing the track. I will not deny that Derek idol for me, but I'm trying to find their own sound now and improve the quality of the compositions, and then organize a speech.

12. What kind of music do you like to listen to?

I love listening to good music. Of course I listen to pretty light. But like and old music: soul music, rhythm and blues 50-60 years. I love hip-hop: Sean Price, Method Man ...

13. Do you play any instruments?

I'm not a musician and a music school, I did not study. But I like to play the guitar. Masterly I do not play on it, but I can improvise well. Plans to acquire key

14. Are you signed with a label? If not do you want or plan to be?

while I work independently and I support the free distribution of music. I have not signed on the label. If in the future I will have enough money to performances, I never have nor will release one track for the money

15. How do you make your music? Is it a tedious process?

This is a tedious process, but very interesting. Sometimes I've been writing that just fall asleep at the table and drool on the table. I think. it is harmful to health, as it makes me a little sleep, but I can not live without it

16. The first song we heard was "No more tears" is there any meaning behind the title or your music for that matter?

This title does have a meaning. The one time I really felt bad morally and psychologically breaking up with a girl, no money, I did not see the light at the end of the tunnel, I have a lot of cheating. But at this point, I gathered all the strength and continued to make music. But now I have a life situation is even worse, but now I know that I try in music is invisible

17. Is there anything you want to add?

I love my mother;)

18. Would you like to say anything to BGV?

Love and appreciate good music. With love from Russia!

Q & A by Rebekah Frye of Beyond Good Vibes. 

Q & A with Shannon Slaughter of County Clare

All questions are answered by Shannon Slaughter of County Clare.

How did you guys get started with music? Together ??  Well I was first attracted to Heather because of her singing, she’s just a really great singer.  I sent her a couple of songs to see if she was interested in recording them and she liked them a lot.  We knew that if we ever got together we music would definitely be a big part of who we were as a couple.  Personally, for me, I got started singing and playing an old Roy Rogers guitar on a footstool in my living room at age 2 – 3.  I have ALWAYS been a singer, I never remember not doing it.  Four guitar lessons at age 8, and I was hooked, been playing ever since.  What does is mean to you?  Well, it’s not what I do anymore, it’s really who I am.  I can’t imagine my life without music, although I believe I could cope because I have other loves as well.  I have and always will be a FAN, regardless of my level of musicianship.  When I hear really good music, and good singing, and creative songs, I get excited.


Who all have you worked with?  Professionally speaking – The Lost and Found, The Larry Stephenson Band, Melonie Cannon, The Lonesome River Band, Lou Reid and Carolina, along with my current personal band – Shannon and Heather Slaughter & County Clare 

Tell me about your solo work. How have you progressed through the years?  2011 was a huge year for me personally because I finally released my first solo project “The Sideman Steps Out”.  It had been in my mind for probably 10 – 12 years but I never found the time, money, or drive to just do it.  It’s done really well for us and we’ve gotten a lot of great reviews and spent quite a bit of time on a variety of bluegrass charts. 

What inspires your music? I pay attention to great songwriters more now, I enjoy writing lyrics that question a lot of concepts – love, politics, history’s mysteries, life (in general)   Each other? I do think we inspire each other to a certain extent… I’m a huge fan of Heather’s singing and playing and she has a really keen ear for harmony and arranging as well.   History?  As a history teacher it would be difficult to NOT let it be an inspiration.  It’s not as much right now in my life, because I’m teaching young students and I’ve been out of the content for a couple of years.  When I get back to the high school level I’m sure it will pick back up. 

Any favorite artists?  My favorite band (bluegrass) is Blue Highway.  They have all the components the great bands from any genre have.  They are GREAT songwriters, musicians, vocalists, and arrangers.  As far as individual artists I would include Shawn Lane (Blue Highway) who is featured prominently on my solo record as a vocalist, mandolinist and fiddler.  He is one of the great writers that just gets it man.  Tim Stafford (also Blue Highway) is probably my favorite guitar player and another great songwriter as well and I’ve cut several of his songs.  I have always liked Tony Rice’s guitar playing and he was my first guitar influence and is a seminal figure in this music.  I enjoy old country artists like Merle Haggard, George Jones, Keith Whitley and Conway Twitty.  I really dig Ray Charles’s singing, as well as Aretha Franklin and Jerry Lee Lewis; just phenomenal singers. 

How many instruments do you play? Really just one – Guitar.  I can pick out tunes on the mandolin when given time, and I can play some bass, but that’s about it.  Which ones? How long? I’ve been playing the guitar since I was 8 so – 35 years.  WOW!!  That’s a long time.  I play some electric guitar ( I have a Telecaster) but I lean more to the acoustic side of music in my playing. 


 
Tell me about your involvement with County Clare.  Well I guess I’m the bandleader and frontman.  I do pretty much all the booking, a lot of the lead singing, most of the writing, so I guess that qualifies me as the leader.  Haha.  I assist in all the arranging but I really want to create a democratic approach to the band so I value and respect all the people I work with and I encourage their input into the songs.

Tell me about The Working Man! How many purchases?  About 1,000 I’d say.  Doesn’t seem like many, but since I’m self-promoting it, I’ve been really pleased with sales.


What do you guys like to do in your free time?  What free time?  Haha.  I’m still coaching football (can’t get it out of my system yet), and playing in 2 bands, trying to promote a record, working full-time, and going to graduate school; so not much.  Seriously, I like to fish some, and play a little golf, I like to lift and run, and I like being the sample taster to all of Heather’s great dishes.
How long do you plan on being involved with music? Til I’m pushing up daisies in a corner lot at the church. 

Anything new in the works?  We just booked some studio time in July for an impending duet record.  It will feature Heather and I, along with some new band members, and some of the same guys on my solo project.  We’ve got some great songs and are still writing some as well.  Hopefully it will be released in early 2013. 

What's your favorite part about being musicians?  Traveling to new places, and hanging out with the fans.  Bluegrass Fans really are the best in the world!!!  They are so gracious and hospitable and they just love the artists so being around them as much as possible is awesome!! 

How do you categorize your music?  Bluegrass and Acoustic Country. 

Why and how do you write music?  It’s cathartic sometimes, it’s a challenge, and it’s really rewarding to write something that moves someone to a particular emotion.  Be it joy, sorrow, or whatever; I like to write songs that make people think.  That’s the why portion of this question.  As for the how?  Write down your feelings, find a cool line and build a song from that.  I don’t know how to explain it; books have been written about it. Haha. 

What is the purpose of your music?  I think, as stated in the above answer, to touch someone in some way that causes them to be moved to emotion and to leave our show having been entertained.
Anything you want to say as artists to Beyond Good Vibes? Our motto: For the love of music.  Keep on doing what you’re doing, don’t let anyone tell you what to do as an artist… it belongs to you!! 

I would like to personally thank Shannon for taking the time to interview with BGV. Please check his website for music, bios, and also great recipe ideas from his wife Heather.

The Endless G-Eazy

Within the last year, G-Eazy put himself on the map with countless tracks, albums, mix tapes, and just finished up his Island in the Sun tour. He also just released a new track that you should check out called "Lost in Translation."

Photo via G-Eazy's Facebook.

G-Eazy said he grew up in Berkeley and Oakland, California. Growing up, G-Eazy looked up to his aunt and uncle who were in local rock bands. He said that Berkeley, CA is a diverse town and the town shaped who he is today.

"I was around so many different cultures. Hip-hop was the dominant genre / culture at the time, so naturally I became a fan."

Of course those aren't G's only musical influences. He mentioned other artists like Nas and A Tribe Called Quest.

G-Eazy said he is always in the studio working. There isn't a lot of free time for G-Eazy, but if he isn't in his studio, he said he would be out with his friends.

"I'm currently working on some all original tracks and some new music videos, so stay tuned." 

Q & A with G-Eazy

• How did you come up with G-Eazy?

I mean come on it's a cheesy name. I've been going by that since I was like 13 and the times were a little different then. I thought it was cool at the time. Obviously I've kinda grown and evolved as an artist, but I kind of just laugh it off now. It's a brand, and like any other brand, once you build it up it won't really matter. Think of Nike or Apple; 30 years ago those words didn't mean what they do today. They didn't make you think of what you think of now when you hear them. I'm sticking with it. I know it turns a lot of people away but I kind of don't mind that, because when they press play it gives them an unexpected surprise. So much of rap these days is predictable as can be. I see somebody's name and picture, and I can already guess exactly how they're going to sound, how they structure their bars, and what their beats will sound like. I hope to be a little more unexpected.

• Do you write your own lyrics? Do you make your own beats?

Yessir since I was a baby, jk, since HS.

• I loved the Endless Summer, what was your inspiration for that?

Thanks! Well the late 50s/early 60s are a fascinating time period in my opinion. I really enjoy a lot of the music and film from that era, and I think the culture was just really cool. Maybe it's a byproduct of kinda romanticizing the era my parents grew up in or whatever. But I feel like times were simpler back then. I also feel like that's a time period that's retained this sort of eternal cool. Like for instance, James Dean has never not looked cool, you know? And that's kind of what I want to do with my music, create something that will last.

• Does anything inspire you personally?

Of course. Everything from architecture, to culture, to art, to people, to everyday experiences...

• Who are your favorite artists?

In terms of… fine art? I’d have to say Keith Haring & Jean Michel Basquiat. That was a pretty awesome era, and they had a really dope scene going on in NYC at that time.

• What are your favorite spots in New Orleans?

When we go out, we’ll hit up spots like The Republic, Ampersand, etc then usually land ourselves into one of our favorite dive bars like The Saint, or Snake and Jakes.

• What do you like to do in your "spare" time?

Depends what you consider a job and what you consider “spare” time… but most of my time is spent in the studio. I’m perfectly content spending days on end working alone in my studio. Outside of that, I like to go out and party with our crew.

• Tell me about your tour! How is it going?

Awesome, as always… Touring is great fun – I love traveling and getting to explore different cities, finding the dope spots to eat, and have drinks.

• Who all have you worked with? Any memorable experiences?

To be completely honest – I don’t like to collaborate a whole lot with other rappers. I like to work with vocalists; I really like to put together melodic hooks because I feel they compliment my beats and make for stronger songs. I love working with my homie Greg Banks, and Erika Flowers. I met both of them living in New Orleans, and they’re both very talented.

• Tell me about your blog.

My blog is basically my website...it's just where I keep everyone informed of everything G-Eazy.

• How do you describe your music?

It’s constantly evolving and changing… but at this point I guess the easiest way to describe it would be to say – it’s a vintage pop sound, modernized and mashed up with hard hip-hop break beats, with a laid back flow on top of it. I’d like to believe my music takes people on an emotional ride, by telling stories that everyday people can find ways to relate to.

• Why do you make music? Do you have any musical aspirations?

Because it’s my creative outlet – it’s how I express myself. I consider myself to be extremely fortunate to have found what I love to do at such a young age

• Are you signed? Please elaborate.

I'm not signed to any labels, so no.

• How many tracks have you released?

If you dig you can probably find like 200 tracks or so.

• How many albums and mixtapes have you released?

Dozens, no seriously. I only want to count the last 2-3 though. The early stuff is pretty rough.

• Are you in school? Depending on your answer, what did you go to school for? Where? Do you want it released?

I actually JUST finished my super senior year at Loyola University New Orleans. Happy to be done, finally!

• Anything else you want to tell me?

Go hard, keep doing what you do.

• Anything you want to tell your fans?

Don’t do drugs… stay in school. And of course, listen to G-Eazy.

Thanks G-Eazy for taking your time to interview with BGV.

Q & A with Team Prolific: New group on the rise

 "Makin' dope music... always."

How did you get the name Team Prolific?  

Neme- To make a long story short, my boy Mingo and I were in the library at school and we were trying to figure out what to call the group. So we started writing down different words that sounded dope, we had a good little list going and I wish I could remember some of the names….anyway, I remember Guru from Gangstar saying “the gifted Prolific one”. The word Prolific sounded so fly, but we were not sure of the meaning, so we got out the dictionary, checked it out and added it to the list. Then, “Twist” a former member of the group comes to library gives list a quick look over and pointed and said that’s it. I’m not sure how the Team got added in the name but we are a Team of Mc’s so it fit. 

What is everyone's name and role? 

Flamez- Our role is to be the best..To be Prolific. That's responsibility falls on all of us.

 Zin O.d- My whole life, my first birthday present was a bongo set. My whole family does music my mother and both my brothers sing. This is something that is always been a part of me.

 Neme-Same for me music is second nature I feel like always been making music in some sort of way, if I am beatboxing, banging on a table whatever I just always had a connection with music.

Zin O.d – I am a Florida native. 

Flamez-Neme and I are both from NY, me the BX and him Brooklyn 

Neme-But Orlando is homebase 

Tell me about your music careers?

Neme- We been doing this for a min, we dropped our first video back in ‘04, and been dropping mixtapes and doing shows all over every since. Last year we did a deal with Ali Sports Inc, for them to use our song “Getting Down” and we have been doing a lot of different licensing deals with our music as of late. Right now we are putting the finishing touches on our upcoming EP, “The Movement”

How many tracks have you guys released?

 Zin O.d -Too many could not even count.

Have you guys gone on any tours? 

Neme- No full tours yet 

Favorite memories with Team Prolific? 

Zin O.d.- For me it’s New Years at Flamez Crib  

Neme- I would have to say recording “Getting Down” with Daywalker the vibe In the studio that night was crazy. 

Flamez- The show we did at University of Florida for one of the fraternities. That was a memorable moment for all those who were there.

What sets you guys apart?

Zin O.d -What we bring to the table, our content the way we explain things, our overall outlook. 

Neme- The way we put words together. 

Flamez-And we don’t care what anybody else is doing, we just do us.

Where can we get your music? 

Neme- You can find us on Itunes and Teamprolific.com just type in Team Prolific in Google and you run into our music, we are all over. 

How do you come up with your beats and lyrics?

Neme-We sit and vibe you know just kick back burning throwing ideas back and forth. 

Zin- We never just write, we sit and build on it break it down, flip it and break it down again. Some songs take weeks to come up with the right idea. 

Do you guys like to freestyle? 

Zin-Hell yeah

What's your fan base like? 

Zin-People that appreciate the craft, we make Prolific music.
