(drums).Cooper Temple Clause and made an appearance
at SXSW.Shortly after, Oceansize were signed and quickly
issued their first widely distributed Relapse EP.Los Angeles, which was
there first visit ever to the West Coast.The album Effloresce was released stateside in April 2004.They were in the midst of a tour with Mclusky.Mike Vennart and Steve Durose.None of us were actually born there.The drummer is from
Scotland.There is a lot of music in that area.Mike: There is a lot of clubs and bars there.AL: How did you all meet each other?Steve: We all went to college there.We came from all over like I said.AL: What were some of the previous bands you played in
like?We were in a grunge band.We didn't go anywhere for a while.You have to
apply that to everyone and every band.You have to absorb
what everyone else has done and do something different.Any ideas and riffs that sound generic don't get used.Steve: It's like a jamming process.We try to hear
all the little gems that come from the jams.Since we work in that sort of process there
is not one single songwriter.It's always a group effort.When we did them again, I think the songs were allowed
to shine.AL: How did you meet the producer Chris Sheldon?Steve: He had produced a few records that we liked such
as Biffy Clyro.Mike: His records sound great.He knows how to manage the time.It's a nightmare to mix all these guitar
sounds and pedals.You do have to layer the sound.We had to figure out what to do.That was the first
take of it.We thought it was too good so we left the
whole thing intact.AL: Oceansize seems like you have psychedelic rock, pop
music, and hard songs, and each song can wander in any direction.It all depends on
what you think Prog Rock is.There are only certain records that we all loved
together.Steve: We went through a rock phase when we were kids.AL: Some of those people that you mentioned spent a lot
of time in the studio.That would cost a shitload of money.We are not
prepared at this point to make that gamble.Steve: Their record sounds fucking brilliant.They built their own
place and make a record that sound twenty times better.Mike: John Ellis, our bass player, is the one who deals
with computer stuff all the time.He's getting very studio
minded.He produced some of the demos.He can get sketches
of songs down.He's learning to mix things well.They are really behind me on it.My parents are all very supportive.They pay my rent for
a start.AL: You have played with a lot of new bands.They have been a favorite
of mine for ten years now.We have played with them before.It was a bizarre experience.In the middle of their set,
they wanted us to play one of their songs in our own style.AL: It was like a homework assignment.Franz Ferdinand or The Libertines.The NME created
the career of The Strokes.AL: They seem to write about Pete from The Libertines.He is always having drugs problems and quitting the band.Mike: That is a great story.When a band gets hyped up
so much, when you get around to hearing it, you are disappointed.Everything you read was bullshit.Some of these bands are
not crap.Nirvana, who truly is going to be one of
the greatest bands you ever heard.Mike: It's an honor to play at the place where Motley Crue
and a lot of other cheesy metal bands started out.AL: The Cardigans played here last week.AL: How long has your record been out?It has just come out here in America.AL: Have you written songs for the next album?If we are not
touring we are writing new songs basically.Steve: I knew you were going to ask that.AL: A lot of models show up to your gigs?She caused loads of trouble
