LCF Interview

     The music of LCF is unique to say the least. He combines elements of Folk, Punk, Garage rock, and Indie to make music that sounds like it came straight from Scott Pilgrim VS. The World. If I had to describe it, I guess I'd say it falls somewhere between early Beck and Readiohead, but there's no real easy way to categorize the music of LCF, so you'll have to check it out yourself at www.facebook.com/LCFMUSIC. I recently had an opportunity to ask him a few questions about his music.

Your music is pretty unique. What types of different influences do you have and how to they come together in your music?

My musical influences...man. I could go on and on. My main influences, are Nirvana, Radiohead, The Beatles, Neutral Milk Hotel, Pavement, and probably the Pixies.
I'm a son of my city though. Dayton's local music has really changed my life. The Motel Beds, Shrug, Smug Brothers, Astro Fang, King Elk...I could go on and on about all the local acts that
just really rock. One day, I'm hoping I can jump up into their ranks.


How long have you been playing music? How did you get into writing music?
I've been playing music for about 2.5 years. I started writing about 3 weeks after I started. My songwriting was never anything really decent though until I got
on my own, and just started exploring my thoughts and such. Nowadays, I'm much more proud of my music, than ever.


Have you ever played in any bands? What do you like more or less about playing solo as opposed to playing in a band?

LCF itself, was actually a band when it first started. Playing solo, I like that I get my very own, unfiltered ideas out into the world.
Bad parts for that are: No actual "shows". Have to stick to open mics and the like for now. And having to pay for EVERYTHING can be a pain sometimes.


What is the future for your music? Any big releases or shows coming up?

I plan on actually hitting up a studio soon. Hopefully put out an EP of some sort, maybe do a few shows around the Dayton area.
But I never really know. I've always got a trick up my sleeve, and I like it that way.
